media month

 


it’s been a crazy media month for me!  I had a full page in the Herald Sun Home magazine (metropolitan melbourne) on saturday 14th nov ...  I have 50 words in the ‘Peddler Sell Us Your Wares’ on the last page of this edition of Peppermint magazine ...  and I am fortunate enough to be the featured seller in the Designer Spotlight on madeit.  Wow.  

Loving the latest edition of Peppermint!

rancho relaxo


I found this couch at the opshop and it was the best prop for two bunnies to kick back and relax on as part of my market stall on the weekend.  I think it'll be good for photos for the online stores as well.  I spent all of sunday uploading the market goodies to the online stores.  heres a couple other things I added, i think these pics turned out well.  It feels hit and miss sometimes!

purses


so i have put those opshop zips to good use and made a stack of purses for the Maribyrnong Makers Market this Saturday and have used reclaimed pillow cases, lovely sheets, tablecloths and fabric remnants.  The pale pink rose purse is actually the same material as my doona cover when i was growing up, though this piece comes from a pillowcase from the RSPCA opshop.  I'll add what doesn't sell to my madeit and etsy shops on sunday.

peonies


My lovely sis-in-law in NZ sent me this pic of stunning peonies, like something from a classic painting.  I must try to find some locally!  Thanks Char xx


tassie cushions


 
found a great pure linen tabelcloth at the opshop today so made these cushions, now for sale in my madeit shop . . I have some more to make with the rest of the fabric.
also picked up these old zips, love the packaging!  Zip like lightning!
