Greetings all,
Wow, this post only took 4 hours to do, with so many images, so i hope you enjoy. The Shop Handmade launch was delightful. Lovely media & VIPs, light bulbs flashing, champagne corks popping & microphones capturing comments . . . all round electric atmosphere. Rachel & Julie should be so thrilled with the results & i wish them plus the 90 odd & counting designers they represent in Shop, all the very best!!

Team Shop Handmade - Tiana (IT), Tania (writer), Ros (admin), me (sales), Vanessa (markets), Julie (owner), Rachel (owner), Lisa (stylist) + gorgeous somewhere behind the scenes, Kerrie (markets)
i managed some shopping between cheese cake, chit chat & giggles . . . starting with some Tania McCartney magnets from her Riley book series for my boy (who saw them on my last blog post & said they would make him so happy) plus another Bloss doll, Gifts Created snail, Red Stitch Designs pin cushion owl & a Yardage Design tea towel . . . love love love!!
We wore aprons with all black & killer heels, special mention to how fabulous Ros from Rosalind Grace Designs looks, serving up the delicious food from pARTy cakes all night, while 9 months pregnant!! All the best Ros with your next baby, you're allowed to deliver now, the Shop is open for business!! Ros will also be busy replacing all the stock she sold tonight. Have great weekends everyone, love Posie

Brilliant!! Looks like it was a load of fun too. I'm so pleased for everyone, it's going to be a wonderful success...
WOW - great post - thanks so much for taking so many pics and posting them so quickly. What a thrill to see my little things in such a lovely space! Looks like it was a wonderful night! Best wishes for the first open day - I've emailed all my Canberra friends - so excited for you! Nic

Thanks for the special mention! I wondered if I was going to have the baby last night - couldn't sleep! But it may have been the buzz of the night, sore back and too much sugar from my dessert bar! ha ha GREAT photos!
Oh, look at all those photos! Looks like it was a great night. And look at all your goodies! I don't think I could have resisted either.
Do you have a flickr account? You could have maybe uploaded all the pics to flickr all at once and then used the photos web address to upload them into blogger. I think that would be heaps faster. Then you can out just a few on the blog too and just link to your flickr page. Just an idea. :)
Wow! Looks like you had a great time! Thanks for the pictures! The shop looks wonderful:)
Wow!! Amazing!
OMG it looks amazing thanks for the photos can't wait to see how things go!
What a great night and a pleasure to meet you in real life. Am stealing the photo, btw :-)
Congratulations! Another positive step for the local + handmade. x
Wow Posie that looks freaking awesome. I love how handmade has gone from drab to posh and this shop certainly shows it. A bit reluctant to put my hand up for a Canberra posting previously, but all your pictures of the beautiful handmade sceen have made me change my mind! I want to come to Canberra. x
WOW and WOW!! Thanks for the fabulous montage of your night, it all looks amazing. I know where I'll be stopping the next time we're in Canberra. Thanks for sharing and so glad it all went so well for you, now, have a great weekend I reckon you deserve it!!

Congratulations:) Looks like a hit - I though about opening a little spot there but I dont think that I could knit fast enough to fill it or keep it stocked:( Looking at small little scale at the moment:)
