almost famous

another market Sunday has passed and although i was fearing the cold winters chill, the morning was actually quite mild. the wind did pick up mid morning and each time a gust came we had to jump up to make sure our pretties didn't go flying away. i was pleased with my sales but it seems as though people are happy just to walk around the markets and soak up the atmosphere and get there fill of popcorn and little pancakes. we were lucky enough to get our photo taken by a local journalist and it is featured in our local paper the pine rivers press on page 34. nothing like a bit of free advertisement!

the following photos show some of the things we have on offer every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month

Renata's fabulous quilled gift boxes and cards these are proving to be very popular with passers by and even some interest in lessons on quilling.

Renata recently sold a similar framed version of this quilled butterfly from her online shop. head to her blog to view her range and purchase a piece of her art.

she has also made little gift tags, these are so sweet.

i have a range of cards as well however mine are mostly vintage style and hand stamped.

pretty little clutchables

dresses filled with lavender for your drawers. 2 little sisters bought one each :)

tic tac toe to go in reddish fabric as well as the babushka fabric. and heat wheats and snugglies...these proved popular, i just love all of the colour choices.

there are more photos but i thought that was enough. so as you can see, something for everyone and more :)

now off to work on an order or two :)

something for the boys

i have been crazy busy creating stock for my first market stall. i am so excited as well as a whole lot nervous. if i sell ONE thing i will be over the moon!! i wonder if that is a natural state of mind for marketeers?? anyhow i have been doing an inventory and i have enough to get me started as i am sharing my table with my darling niece Renata. i will do a mock set up of my wares tomorrow and take a picture to share. basically my prices range from $1.50 to $22 which i think is quite cheap! something for everyone but mostly the females in the family. children, tweens, teens, mums, nanas, boys and dads can all find something that takes their fancy or would be the perfect gift for the special someone in their life.

here is a sneak peek at my latest creation...

toy soldier peg dolls

little moustaches..oh so cute

blue coats and red coats, not historically correct uniforms but good enough to fight against each other ~_~

plus i have been busy painting up these chalkboard frames that mister moo created for me. i have to shabby them up so that he can finish them off.

5 pastel boards...blue, green, pink, cream and antique white. these are my dearest items at $22 each. they come with a hand made felt eraser and bundle of coloured chalk. perfect mothers day present...

so if you are looking for something to do and live in Brisbane, why not take a trip to the petrie markets, daybro road petrie this Sunday the 2nd may from 8-2pm. you might just find the perfect gift and card for your mother or loved one or something for yourself!

wish me luck
