Thank you to all who came and supported the Market Stall last night.  Good turn out. I forgot to take pics of course so I have nothing for you! My head was full!! I got a couple of orders so new pics to come of some beautiful bunting.  Enjoy the sun while it's out!

Market Night

Hello hello, have been very busy organising my stall for the Market Night for my daughters school. If you are in the area and have a free hour or two, head on down to Rowellyn Park Primary, Rowellyn Drive, Carrum Downs.  It starts at 7 - 10pm and there will be lots of different stalls selling lots of home-made goodies.  Gold coin donation to get in so hope to see you there! Wish me luck!!

New stuff I've whipped up

Hey lovely bloggers.  I was sitting reading the paper last Saturday morning and having a coffee when I came across a do-it-yourself bedhead.  I have been meaning to make one for a very very long time and actually, my hubby had given up asking.  So, I got up, gathered my keys and my daughter, and off to Spotlight we went.  3 hours later, a little dishevelled, and rather annoyed with the service at Bunnings, we returned triumphant.  This was the result.  A very cosy, rather super bedhead.  Rather chuffed actually.  Let me know what you think.  I have make my son one too, need to paint the rest of his bed but it came up nicely.  OK, take it easy. 

grey with white fleck fabric. noice.

This is a very fine navy blue and white gingham with light blue and white gingham buttons. 

New stuff

Hello fellow bloggers!

I've been busy getting ready for my market stall but I have had some time to do some decorating at home and thought I would share some pics. I am an eclectic buyer, a bit of everything thrown in together suits me.  I love to change things round a lot and I get a bit bored quite easily, much to my hubbys frustration.  Luckily for me he lets me have a go and put 1000 holes in our walls. Hee hee.

The "H" I got from Provincial so it's a reproduction but I have been trying to find an original that I liked and found it hard, especially in the color I want.  It turns out they had them at The Vintage Shed but I already had this one up on the wall.  It weighs a tonne! Hopefully it's secured into my wall ok? Not sure why I decided on H.  Hmmm, Home, Hawks, Hooray, Hilarious, Have a glass of wine won't you?

This trunk I picked up from The Vintage Shed on the weekend.  Love the detail inside, and although the lock is broken, I am using it in the lounge to store our throw rugs.  Hopefully my two year old won't discover it's a great hidey hole!

This metal "A" I bought at The Vintage Shed.  It's from a new stall called Vintage Girl.  She imports all her wares from the States.  I could have bought it all but I decided on these three.  I have some original soda bottles so these will go with them nicely and I have put the A up on my wall in the dining room.

 

Anyway, just thought I would share.  Hope you are all well and keeping warm (if you're not in a warm place that is!)

Market Night

Hi everyone, gee willikers it's been a while.  What with the kids sick and me leaving work, it's been busy busy busy.  Anywho...I just wanted to let everyone know out there in blogland that I am going to be doing my first ever market stall! Very excited.  My daughter Erin's school is hosting a Market Night on Friday 10th August at 6:30 pm - 10:00 pm. There will be lots of different things on offer including my blankets and bits and pieces.  They have told us there will be jewellery, homewares, candles, linen etc and it would be great if we could get some people there to have a look see.  Pass it onto anyone who will listen....looking forward to it! It's at Rowellyn Park Primary School, Rowellyn Drive, Carrum Downs.  Hope to see some of you there. 

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my newest finds from "the man"...thanks Donna. I've been in the market for a new (old) scale because mine sucks and I hide it in the cupboard  because it's ugly and it barely works.  I found this one and have put it proudly on my kitchen bench.  I also found this melamine set which is charcoal grey with white inner.  I love the  little handles.  At first I wondered why it came with three saucers and three cups.  The other two cups look like sipping tea cups.  Anyone know? Not sure if they are maybe sugar cups? But then, why are there two? Maybe there are two other saucers missing? Anyway, if anyone knows, can you let me know.  I don't really mind, just love the shape.  OK, gotta go, hope you are enjoying this lovely sunshine we are experiencing in sunny Melbourne today!

Scale $5 - and it works!

3 x cups & saucers + 2 x cups $2 - bargain!

Hi again! I have been a little busy lately and haven't posted anything for ages.. I've been busy making new blankets for a client and thought I would share them with you all.  I was asked to make a blanket for a 5 year old boy who loves animals and a pink blanket for a 7 year old girl.  Tell me what you think.  My daughter wanted to keep the pink one! (So did I)

The fabric is fine cord, cotton/linen and polar-fleece backing. It measures 1.5 x 1.1m and cost $60 to buy.

Had to use this bird fabric when I saw it.  It's fine cord fabric with a thick polar fleece backing.  The pom poms just add a dash of gorgeousness! It measures 1.5 x 1.1m and cost $60 to buy.
