Greetings all,
What a weekend!! A double Handmade Market, mercifully indoors (it poured with rain) & due to weather/ football finals/ long weekend/ school holidays . . . crowds were down. Ditto my effort, as i am still suffering from exhuastion & woke up both mornings vomiting, not a good sign for something i used to love doing!! Bless Rosalind from Grace Designs who saved me with some drugs.
I set up my stall on Saturday morning, with my twin girls & we had some fun meeting new designers & bloggers + selling lots of brooches, fabric, buttons & bloomers. With my stall already set up for Sunday morning, i did some shopping.
First stop, Mookah. I love those ladies & their stylish screen printed goodness from country Victoria. I bought a beautiful skirt from Leisa, so happy with the colours. I was in love with the large moose floor cushion (it's not our first Mookah floor cushion, i know they are bloody fantastic). Let's just say my son's dimples = discount!! Thanks Margaret.

On our way to Heidi's The Curious Chocolatier's macarons for brunch . . . we stopped by the uber clever Gillian at Look Mama, her cards are wet-your-pants funny with her devilish sense of humour. I collected some badges & 6 packs of stickers.
My darling boy was so brilliant, ALL day, he looked around, winked at the ladies nearby like Miss Haidee (she's a twin, vintage lover, living in Tasmania) & Red Parka Designs (hi Jen, a sweet Tasmanian living in Melbourne, dreaming of home). My son brought me hot chocolate when i could barely stand & only asked for $2 for a balloon animal. As you know we're not an electronic gadget kind of family - he played with business cards, pencils & my cash tin. He carried my baskets back to the car, even dragged a trestle table into the rain, muscles!! Bless his heroic heart, i was waiting for a trolley.
Markets are funny events. I didn't like my neighbour. I know that is horrible & unprofessional to mention, but i know they are too superior to read my blog. Let's just say, if the stall next to you offers to shift over if you need extra space (i paid extra for a corner, i had room to wiggle) & they don't even look up, just mutter "no, we won't" . . . you wonder why bother to be nice at all?? Then they glared at me for the rest of market, especially when customers stood in their stall space to reach my products!!
Thanks so much for your 80's dress up tips in my last post - so funny to think people dressed like that seriously . . . shoulder pads, high hair, fluoro & eyeshadow . . . as daily business attire, now it's 'dress ups'. I'll let you know how we go on the weekend at the 21st.
Now it's time to kick off the school holidays - i've already washed the dog, done the garden & back verandah, sorted my high schooler's room out . . . not bad seeing i was still vomiting at midnight. Let me at that linen cupboard, love Posie
