Happy Easter handmade style from Allie's Attic in Mosman NSW

Greetings all,
I've taken the children to Sydney to see their grandparents for the Easter long weekend.  Just so happens that my parents are in the same area as an Allie's Attic market today, brilliant, what a happy coincidence!!  So for once, i get to be a SHOPPER at a beautiful handmade market & shop i did!!  Must admit, it's like catching up with old friends as many of us blog, email, collaborate & are just in the same market circle.  So Allie put on a lovely show with beautiful hand picked stalls. 
First up, Happy Easter with some gifts from Plushka & Retro Mummy for my children, thanks girls!!
. . . 3 of my children pouring over Giggle Spot Designs & this bunny came home with us . . .

. . . lots of lovely things at Ivy Designs who was busy with people (thus lack of long shots of the stall, where you only saw people) & these necklaces came home with me, hi Wynona!!
I sold some fabric to Bloss Dolls at Handmade last weekend, so happy to become a customer.  I loved the cupcake style one on the left, however, my blue loving eldest girl wanted the turtles, both adorable!!
Summer Blossom is the daughter of Bloss Dolls & talent runs in the genes.  Love Rochelle & her beautiful soft girlie designs.  Even my son wanted a headband, bless him.  So we came home with these two beauties, Babushkas & a Kaffe Fassett print, love love.
Oh, big time fan of Plushka, her embroideries are adorable.  You might remember ALL the beautiful things i bought from Katia at the February Canberra Mathilda's were stolen, so this was my chance to replace some pieces. 
This gorgeous collection came home with us, i think i'll pop the triple set on a shepherd's crook pin as a pretty brooche.  Perfect for when i'm at Shop Handmade don't you think??
Also met Lisa from the Red Thread at Handmade last weekend in Canberra.  Again, my turn to be HER customer at her beautiful stall. 
& these little Sweeties came home with us.  One is called MiMi, like one of my girls & Freedie is not a fox, but a squirrel, however, Lisa was too kind to correct me when i kept telling my son he was an adorable fox!!  Der, there are acorns everywhere.
My favourite, Retro Mummy, busy as always, actually looking pregnant in this shot too!!
Fabric mania, ahhhh . . . some to replace the ones stolen from Mathilda's, no i refuse to get over it!!
Can you believe, Swedish prints with writing, the lot!!  All available at Retro Mummy's Shop, go now, before i take it ALL, or another 30 odd metres!! 
So my 4 had a ball, Allie was fabulous, the stalls looked beautiful, there was balloon making, gifts, fun & great parking (on the other side of Allen Border Oval, no parking tickets for me).  A few stalls are thinking of joining in Handmade Market in Canberra plus Shop Handmade, yes!!  I drove home via the old suspension bridge in North Bridge, love that area!!  It's so pretty, stone pillars & lanterns, i imagine horse drawn carts trotting over it 100 years ago.  There are even old buildings which my grandfather & his brothers built still standing since 1914.  Memories . . . Happy Easter lovely readers, hope you have a great time with family & remember our soldiers serving overseas during our 'holiday' they don't get a break, like my handsome soldier.  Love Posie
