beautiful people and treasures

today has been full of beautiful things and people

Today Ruby and I took a trip out to Richmond with my good friend Grace.

Grace and I had planned a trip out there to see the teddies on the green shop as I had never been there I bought the cute little pink Teddie bear and the little worry doll brooch so sweet .

The weather was so lovely out there we took a walk around the town, we has a beautiful garlic pizza for lunch then drove back to Graces for a cuppa.

to my glee Grace gave me one of her beautiful handmade elephant dolls and one of her print as a trade for some of my new bookplates and paper bunting, I chose this particular print as it reminds me of grace and I love Crows so I thought it was a good pick.

  Another lovely surprise when I got home was my lovely big bag of handmade notebooks  i bought off etsy,made by my friend Isis were sitting on my doorstep waiting for me to get home, I love getting mail espacially when it is something I can print on :)

I hope you have all had a day as nice as mine has been

Ask and you shall receive

 

While at the Boutique market this past weekend and for the last couple of months at Salamanca market I have had customers asking for the longer lengths of lino cut  bunting,  I was only making smaller one and they have been super dooper popular but people saw the ones I decorated my market gazebo with and wanted to buy them so after Meeting Rachel of Boutique markets I decided it was time to do it.

Rachel had asked for a red and forest green one so here it is!

I think these look lovely strung up

I will also have them in the red and aqua flora tag design as well as a red snowflake design if all goes well and I don't sell them all first, I will have these for sale at all the upcoming Christmas markets 

 

red snowflake design also available

Aqua flora design

Christmas Is coming Yipee!

With Christmas fast approaching now is the time to find beautiful things for your loved ones and what better gift than a locally made handcrafted gift.

I have no less that 15 design/craft markets in the lead up to the big day so there really is no shortage of fantastic markets to buy handmade.

Here is a list of the markets I will be personally at over the festive season along with loads of other crafters, artist,designers and makers from all over Tasmania

• Salamanca market - Hobart
• Niche - Launceston
• The Market - Hobart
• The Barn Market - Hobart
• The Nook Market 
• Richmond farmers and makers market
• Designed; Made

So please come along and have a look at what a fantastic array of local product there are to buy and in most cases what you will be buying will be either a one off or a very limited run of a product which makes it all the more special to the person who receives it. 

Letterpress Christmas bunting by me :) will be for sale at all the lovely Tasmanian markets this festive season starting this weekend
