Greetings all,
Busy sewing up a storm this week for Handmade Canberra's UpMarket on Sunday, very excited as it's the first for the year. It's normally on a Saturday & the next 3 are all Saturdays, but i can't tell you how handy it is to have a day up my sleeve to pack & prepare. Then it will be time to crash on Sunday night, revive myself for Easter Egg decorating at school on Monday.
So check out this handy wooden medicine cabinette i bought at our local Revolve centre at the tip, $25 & it's a fantastic size. I instantly thought of laying it on a table, open & using it as a craft First Aid supply centre at markets. So i've filled it with . . .
I'm using up some gorgeous European prints from AGES ago, time to share them.
Of course it's the weekend before Easter so i have some Lark knitted eggs to sell & the cute wooden bunny is from Bed, Bath & Table (they're having 30% off Easter things in store). The lovely open handled basket was a whopping $2 from Revolve!! Also, see that huge tool box, it was $5 from Revolve & is still empty, trying to work out the perfect product to display in there. Finally, more $5 letters from Typo, to spell out POSIE on my table. I'm aware i bought a T for the I, i thought an upside T would be more stable as the table gets bumped. Um, realised the P is not self standing, so P is propped up by a cute wooden mushroom, ahhhh, thank goodness for blue tack!!
Yippee, new Kristen Doran prints, love her!!

Art Viva 1960's newspaper tubes (60mm & 40mm), Dumpling Dynasty sewing kits, Cavallini stamp kits, Jurianne Matter paper craft, children's learn to sew card kits, Lark knitted pin cushions, Craft Books, Tres Divin ribbons & MT washi masking tapes in all their pretty colours from Japan. So now i have all the non-handmade-by-me things in one spot!! I'm allowed to sell these things as they promote your own sewing & handmade, the rest of my stall is fabric & handmade products - um, all 4 trestle tables worth!!
Onto themes . . . i've continued with my Euro direction & purchased a subtle Eiffel Tower & matching planters to display products & look eye catching on my stall. They will be filled with products in French fabrics. Also used a damaged hula hoop, wrapped in pale pink polka dot fabric & with 7 x $2 sticks of faux flowers from a $2 shop, i tied them to the hoop with organza ribbons to make a pretty hanging feature for the centre of my marquee. Can't wait to put it up!!

This is how Canberra looked on the way to school . . . brrrr . . .
only to look like this an hour later??!! Canberra pretty much has beautiful blue skies all year round, even when it snows, looks gorgeous until you go outside & loose feeling in your toes.
So i went shopping on the way back to school - um, shoes $130 original price, but i got ALL of this haul, killer peep toe heels & cute grey sneakers for me; hat, body wash, black sequin beret & silver headband for my girls, the lot was $80!! Nothing like a further 30% off all sale items at Sportsgirl. The black shoes are really comfortable too, i can reach the top shelf in the pantry now!!
Have happy weeks everyone, see you at My Creative Space on Thursday, until then, sew sew sew. Love Posie
