So i've been working at Shop Handmade this week, it's just a beautiful place to be, the excitement from the customers, they love the ambience & prices too - imagine market prices on goods in a stunning high end retail space in the city, as designers get 100% of the sale of their products, there is no price tag inflation!! It's just a feel good vibe all round. It's a one stop Shop for everything from olives & organic chocolate to handmade stitching perfection & books.
Tables filled with stunning products like this, who doesn't love a good pear design?? Red Stitch (talking pears & journals) & Yardage Design (tea towels) are rocking the shop, wow ladies, gorgeous work & dare i say, these goodies are from their 3rd delivery of goods to the Shop & we just celebrated the 2 week anniversary!!
Exquisite Ros from Grace Designs was back in with her 3rd load of more stock too, over 9 months pregnant now, but look at the bounty of her nesting habits . . . so pretty for girls young & grown up too!! All the best with your next baby - we're all so keen to meet him or her . . .
Stealing style . . . from the counter of Shop Handmade, via the local home decor store, to my garden!! These bird cages open up from the door or roof flip top action - i can see them filled with softie birds, simple in design, let the fabric do the talking!!
Have lovely weekends everyone, if you're in the ACT or Queanbeyan area, i'm doing a little quilt fair at Jerrabomberra Primary School Hall on Sunday, i'll be there say 10a.m.-1p.m. just a casual affair but i'm bringing a whole lot of new gorgeous fabrics . . . enjoy, love Posie

Your words in the beautifully written article by Allison are very wise indeed! I can only imagine the challenges of running a small business with no less than four kids - you are amazing Jennie!

I checked out Maave magazine as soon as it went online. Great to read your interview, well done!
Wow! So many beautiful things I don't know which to comment on... but I think those pears really do take the cake :) Fabulous place - thanks for the peek. K
