Our weekend at Finders Keepers

We had loads of fun! Thanks so everyone involved in the market and for whoever turned on the blue skies and sunshine!

FINDERS KEEPERS-YEAH!

It was a cold Friday night when we set up our stall at Finders Keepers and VERY fresh when we headed in early Saturday morning to put the finishing touches on our bob stall


Lucky it turned out like this!!!



It was so nice to meet some of my suppliers face to face, the wonderful Kristine from Adorning Al, Louise from Frankie magazine Kirsteene from Scrumptious, Andrew from A Skulk of Foxes, Kristy from Lady Phillips, Lou from Buttons by Lou Lou, Brooke from brooke Johnson Design, Madeline Stamer the talented thing, Liz from Betty Jo and from Sydney Lyndsay and Ben from Made by White and Christina from Made590. It was so nice to catch up with people and put a face to the voice. It was so frantic but we did get to have a little bit of a natter. Massive thank you to the gorgeous Bec and Sally from Georgie Love who went out of their way to drive myself and Brian back to Blackburn from the city where we were staying the night. SO lovely of them and SO much better than getting the train when we were very tired...thanks so much!
And a big thanks to my friend Allison from Lark her lovely hubby Paul and gorgeous kids for being our neighbors for the day. It's always so nice to catch up and talk pretty things, even though it was so busy we didn't get much of a chance!



thank you to everyone who stopped by especially to look for a products or just to say hi!
A BIG special thankyou goes to Rhiannon Mowat and her partner Craig who came up especially to give me a pressie, a stunning print by Rhiannon that I was admiring so much when we had one of her shows at the gallery- and they came back the next day too because they thought we needed some chocolate (and we did) koko black oh so yummy. Rhiannon...the talented thing also does the illustrations for their amazing chocolate selections. Check out more of her work at www.piecesofcolour.com.au
And Tanya Bird from quirky Bird who bought me a lovely parcel of things for the shop especially for bob day - (coming in the next couple of weeks) and a special handmade magnet and tape measure hair clip, so pretty - thanks so much!





What a lovely time we had, thanks to everyone...:)

Applications for Craft market

Hello Crafty people. We are excited to let you know about the new Bendigo craft market "The Square" which is on December 18th in the gorgeous Bendigo Town Hall.

FRANKIE is HERE

Hello everyone! way to exciting news. Have the new frankie diary and calender in store NOW-limited numbers. We are also stocked up in Afternoon tea and sweet Treats as well. YEAH!

Vintage exhibition

In the gallery until the end of September we have a Vintage gown exhibition. Gorgeous handmade 50's and 60's dresses made in the Bendigo region for Mayor and Dahlia and Arts Balls. We have showcased theses gorgeous dresses with the new millinery work of local hat maker Bronwyn Rivett. Her Hats are just divine and capture that sense of occasion that is lacking in this age of quick fashion and casual dress. It is so nice to see how people really cared about dressing up and looking very special when they left the house for a day of shopping or a night out on the town. We are missing out!

tripping around and squirrel biscuits

I'm running around the Victorian country side at the moment. Checking that all my pretty bob stuff is being made by the best crafts people. Last week we went to Melbourne to check out Docklands and a couple of clothing factories.
Before we left we just had to have a lovely cuppa and squirrel biscuit from the lovely El Beso in View street...YUM!
