Market Mayhem

Two weeks ago Dani and I had a stall at the Maribyrnong Makers Market held at Seddon uniting church. The weather was on our side, and both the coffee and bacon rolls were hot. The other crafters stalls looked amazing, the product some people make is so inspirational.... I love it. After some time deliberating and changing the look of the stall we both thought it was looking spot on, and to our surprise we actually won the best stall on the day and received a voucher to have dinner at a local restaurant. We were both really stoked to say the least. It confirmed we are on the right track! The next market is the Shirts and Skirts Market at the Abbotsford convent. hope to see you there so you can check out the updated stall. http://www.shirtandskirtmarkets.com.au/

Daylesford Days

Autumn is truly upon us.... and I love it! The crisp mornings followed by the glorious sun just warms my soul. I just cant get enough of the colours, smells and that special Autumn stillness before the big winter sleep. I was born on the 1st of March and consider myself a true Autumn baby. Its a very beautiful time of year.

Mens Business

The Daylesford Makers Market was a huge success for my Husband who dutifully stood in for me at the very last minuet as I took myself, baby in arms to the local hospital about my very sore throat..... 1 hour later I was getting antibiotics for tonsillitis and very strong pain killers. As the pain killers kicked in I decided to walk across to the market where I could hardly speak and was spaced out, so my apologies to whom ever I spoke to, hope I didn't come across as rude. My Husband sold one of my quilts, how exciting! Maybe he should be the new salesman for LiliPili. Anyhoo next time I will be feeling great and able to meet everyone and enjoy the energy that is the local makers market.

Makers Market

This Sunday will see the second Daylesford Makers Market opposite the Sunday market in Raglan Street. I am so looking forward to being apart of it once again, it looks to be good weather too...... always a bonus. Hope to see you there.

It's been a while

Ginger Rogers

It's been a while since I've added a post and like a few others Ive not really felt like it, this past week has been testing on the spirit. After reading dandelions blog and seeing the most beautiful kiss, I thought, right lets do this..... So, last week I purchased a beautiful hand painted Edwardian mirror from a dealer in town and also came across some cigarette cards of movie stars, that took me back. When I was a little girl I loved seeing Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance like it was easy and of course any movie with Marilyn was high on my agenda. My Nana worked at a movie theater in London where she collected postcards of stars from the 1930's and 1940's, I loved looking at them so much so it was a bit of a joke. On my 21ST birthday it was Nana's gift to me...... what an amazing present to get. There are over 80 true photos of movie stars from the times, I still love looking at the albums, so I have posted a few for your pleasure.
