Hulbert St Success

Phew! What a huge weekend! This year's Hulbert St Fiesta was a tremendous success. 2 full days of huge crowds, happy people and good sales. We met some wonderful people, got great feedback and I got to spend a full day with my besty! Luxury.

Here are some sbefore snaps of some of my pots:

 

 

The photos above were taken before I worked out my new camera! They are actually exactly the same gorgeous white procelain as the crisp ones below but I had different lighting when I took the photos.

 

There are a few different prints. It was so interesting to hear people's different preferences. The ones I absolutely love and thought would sell the fastest were sometimes different to what people naturally gravitated towards!

 

 

Here are some shots of the market and our stall:

 



 

I had lots of people ask where I sell and where I would be next. Nat and I have just decided to do the Jacaranda Festical in Applecross in November. i will upload my market and exhibition page shortly.

Felty rattles

Here is my new style felty for littlies. It has a rattle inside and grab-able legs for babies to hold and shake. It also has a squeaker in the ear. Probably not so great for friends with dogs! (sorry Kym, you won't be getting the squeaker version).

New Felty Love

Babies, babies, babies!

It has happened. All my friends (and a few of my sisters) are producing delightful and gorgeous bundles of joy. I am a bit jealous and super clucky but very excited for them and also pleased that I have the chance to get felting again! Here are a few of my recent creations. If you would liek to buy one, I have started an Etsy site but not quite got it up and online yet. Sorry! But please email me and I will be very happy to discuss shapes and ideas and give you an idea of price.

I Love Melbourne!

I have had the loveliest holiday with my favourite ladies in Melbourne.

I have gallivanted all over the place - all over the city including the Tim Burton Exhibition and Craft Vic and Outre gallery, down Gertrude and up Brunswick streets, then over the weekend I visited 4 craft markets!! I am such a lucky girl. I have pasted some pics below with a few comments.

Some lovely graffiti... I actually took loads of photos for my journal but won't bore you with them here... I am nearly finished my 14th visual journal. I think I might takes some photos for the blog to get my crafty friends inspired to start one. Keep an eye out.

Gorgeous seat with the early morning sun rising behind it.

Me at Meet Me at Mikes!! I have an envelope in the window - Hoorah! And I did a bit of spending in there too. Happy days.

And these lovely snaps are of Cottage Industry, the most dreamy shop on Gertrude Street. Loved their crocheted cushion covers, I am feeling very inspired... watch this space.

Tonight is my last night before I fly home with a head full of crafty ideas. Less than 6 weeks until the York Mill markets so I will be making a craft plan on the plane home and sticking to it!

I have had the best time ever and am very sad to leave... I love Melbourne.
