Markets!

I just wanted to say a huge thankyou to everybody who came out yesterday and today to visit me at both the Heron Park markets, and the Perth Makers Market.

It has certainly been a very HOT weekend, so it means a lot to all us handmaidens that you all braved the heat to come and support us!

Thanks again! (And don’t forget to head over and like my Facebook page to keep up-to-date with where me and my owls are going to be!)

Hi! How’s your weekend going? Mine has been busy, busy as today was my last market for the year….

All week I have been sewing like a crazy lady in preparation – and it paid off as I sold out!! Yay!!! (Big thanks to all of you who came by and saw me!)

I was at UWA (University of WA) for the Perth Upmarket today.

This is honestly one of my most favourite markets! It is full of so many amazing handmade goodies. I’m a little glad I was so busy – as I may have spent wayyyyy to much if I had an opportunity to shop! I did, however enjoy some delicious salted caramel fudge from Golden Whisk!

So what am I going to do for the rest of the year now – I hear you ask? Well this week I will be adding some more doorstops to my Etsy Store as well as starting work on a whole heap of handmade Chrissy gifts!

So stay tuned to see my creations!

Thanks for stopping by!

And Happy Crafting!

Angove Street Festival

angove 6

Markets, markets, markets! I love the whole market scene. Especially Festivals. This past Sunday I attended the Angove Street Festival in North Perth.

It was so busy! Such a huge crowd. I wanted to get out and about and take lots of great photos to try to capture the atmosphere, but honestly, I was so busy selling my stuff – that I couldn’t! Now, don’t get me wrong – I LOVE the fact that I was busy and selling, I just would have liked a couple more photos! Continue reading

Sunday Swap-Meet!

junk quote 2

On Sunday I had a different kind of market experience. As you know, markets for me are usually of the handmade / craft variety. Sunday, though, I attended a swap meet (car boot style).

The two weeks or so prior, I had made the decision to get my house organised and clear out all the junk that somehow keeps appearing. I usually like to clear out every 6 months or so, and get rid of all the clothes the kids have out grown, along with old toys etc. I usually pass things on to other mums at school, or drop the things off to the op-shop. But this time, I thought I’d try to make a bit extra cash for our up-coming holiday. Continue reading

Market Buys! – The best plant EVER!

Last week I wrote a post about attending the Perth Upmarket.

I didn’t tell you what I bought! I must say, of all the markets I’ve been too, and all the purchases I’ve made – This is one of my absolute favourites!

cactus bThis amazing crochet cactus is by ZoZo and Fro.

She is one clever lady! I actually discovered Zoe’s work about a year ago – I think just from randomly scrolling through Instagram. I immediately fell in love – and knew that I had to own one!

I purchased one straight away as a gift for my mum. I bought her a grass tree.

Every time I visit mum’s house, I see the grass tree and I always tell myself that I need to get one!

So when I saw ZoZo and Fro was at the Perth Upmarket – I was super excited! This one stood out to me pretty much straight away. I think it looks so happy, and like it’s doing a funky cactus dance.

How awesome is it!! I’m so glad I spoilt myself with this purchase!

When was the last time you spoilt yourself? What did you buy?
