We are still here!!

Hi All..... Just letting you know that we are still here even though there has been no blogging and little market action in the last couple of months.

My family and I have moved from Brisbane to be with my family while my dad recovers.... this also involves my husband and I taking over the management of one of Mum and Dad's businesses..... so its been a little hectic.

We will be back however at Mathildas Market on Sat 20th in Brisbane at the FAB new venue- Brisbane Racing Club at Eagle Farm. Entry is free and it runs from 9am through till 4pm.

It sure will be a great day out.

I have included some unedited photos of my girls that were taken a while ago.... that were to be uploaded on my website before dad got sick. I will get around to it one day!

FANCY Buttons @ Paddington

Recently I was lucky enough to be invited to a showcase of the humble button. The gorgeous staff at the Paddington Antique Centre, along with with some fantastic artists put together a night showcasing the 'multiple lives' of buttons.

Various items were made using buttons, some of the items on show and for sale included; gorgeous jewellery both classic and contemporary, head pieces, cushions, drawer handles, clothes, and lamp shades just to name a few.

It really was a great night and I bought the most gorgeous Czech Glass Button which I hope my newly skilled husband will make into a ring for me using sterling silver. I took along my friend Jane who is the designer behind the Jewellery brand Fuschia Designs. I also ran into Sophie from Strat Designs (a fellow Boutique Market stall holder). Sophie had created some gorgeous pieces for the showcase. They really were a hit.

Hope you enjoy the piccies I took .... on my i phone.... because my camera was flat!!

MARKETS!

Boutique Market in September saw a few keen shoppers brave the grey skies. I still had a great day catching up with fellow stall holders and returning customers. My marquee display has been a work in progress which is evolving month by month. I can now say that I have it looking just about how I imagined it to be, and thank you to all the wonderful feedback on my display. Its a long process putting it together but worth it in the end. Have to set the alarm that bit earlier too!

Thanks Rachel for these great photos.

PS - Dad is doing quite well. He seems to get stronger every day.

ALSO.... Got to love these two cuties. Riley and Charlotte are Christine's (Little Diva) daughters. They were very proud of their 'Petite Fleurs' which they received on Sunday. Looking great girls!

In the PRESS!

SHOP GIRL MAG

Been off the radar for a while.... my dad is not well and its been a long few weeks. He is still in hospital and we are all being positive that he will improve very soon. Back on the day he first got sick, SHOP GIRL mag hit the shelves.... with a little Evie Rose feature. I was quite excited to read that my 'Petite Fleurs' were under a heading that said - RETAIL THERAPY 'What to rush out and buy the girl in your life!'

For those that don't know, Shop Girl is a magazine aimed at mums of TWEENS! Its a wonderfully presented magazine with heaps of beautiful ideas for girls of this age group.

Got to love a bit of publicity!
