silly season antics & Christmas market messages

Greetings all,
Living on the edge here with my computer flashing the blue-screen-of-death on Sunday night, constantly freezing, shutting down & s.u.p.e.r.s.l.o.w.  My long distance IT lover (husband) talked me through backing up vital data, then deleting gigs of data.  I hold my breath, fingers cross, knock on wood - this laptop is barely 14 months old.  I'm frequently interviewed about small business & i always add in my 'top tips' that "unless you are highly computer literate, you should sleep with an IT guy" . . . never makes it to print!!  Can't imagine how much it would cost to pay my husband for his knowledge.
NOW, I'm selling off all of my vintage toys, party goodies & decorations on my website & at these little markets:
Brindabella Market (BBP Town Square near Canberra Airport) on Thursday &
 Christmas Party Market (private residence in Watson ACT) on Friday morning & night
Ask me for details if you live in Canberra & would like to come.
Now my shopping for family is all sorted, i treated myself to some goodies from Bison.
If i could swing a hammer, i'd be making a wooden tree from pallets too.
Cutest nativity display EVER, nothing says 3 wise men like ceramic jugs!!
Now my milk bottle trio collection is complete!!
See the vase holding the magnolia branches, got me one of those too.
Spent a slow Sunday making wreaths & decorations with the children.  Holy cow, those polystyrene cones & circular forms were like $5-9 each, someone is getting rich this Christmas, Spotlight??!! 
 Picked up the very last gift for a nephew.  LOVE globes, but geesh, the service was horrid, i told the boys behind the counter off & will complain formally.  I left with a parting "i regret having made a purchase in this store today" & their faces went pale.  Just really wanted that globe - i'm seeing this nephew on the weekend in Bowral, gift size doesn't matter!!   
Thanks folks, also have an extra surprise in my on line Shop right now - with any order over $200 you'll receive a complimentary autographed copy of Handmade Living + a fabric bonus, value over $50.  Get shopping people, thanks for your support, love Posie
EDIT: Just updated my website with more discounts & new products at great prices too!!

We're still sans tree in the Serendipity household so the pallet version or a twiggy type are both looking like possible options at the moment.

Best wishes for your upcoming markets, oh how I'd love to be closer!

Those bison ceramic pieces are gorgeous. I hope your computer survives. I'm in desperate need of a new one. I try to ask the computer guy at work but most of the time he is very grumpy. A computer lierate husband is very handy :)

Those Chrissy displays are fab! I know Spotlight is getting rich of just me alone!! Pity there is no competition for them, their service is pretty terrible too! X
