MARKET WRAP UP

Saturday at Mathilda's Market Sydney was an amazing sunny day full of lovely families out for a fun filled day of shopping. There was an amazing selection of stall holders. And thanks to my lovely darling husband I was able to have a walk around a few times to say hello to my lovely market lady friends...It was lovely to see you all again. 

The hall looked amazing and is a lovely setting for Sydney's Mathilda's Market and the best thing is that it is now in conjunction with Boutique Market so Mummy can now shop for her self too...(And that I did I scored some lovely earrings that I wore to a baby shower on Sunday.)

My mother from Forever Beautiful Creations also had a stall which looked amazing although she was still in her wheel chair it was great to see her out and about and her daughters weren't far away Emily from Short & Sweet was right next to me and My was right across from me so it was perfect for our family of Market ladies and all our Men were there to support us.

My amazing friend from Giggle Spot Designs was also there with a new addition to her family I'm calling him Wally the Whale he is so cute with his droopy eyes I'm totally in love with him I mean how could you not be.

It's such a great magazine as when pregnant and even now I find inspiration in ever page and to find that the founder of Handmade Julie Nicholos has also made a few quotes on both the handmade market and Shop Handmade is very exciting.

MATHILDAS MARKET THIS SUNDAY

Well it's here again. Mathilda's Market Lane Cove will be happening again this Sunday. So for the last few weeks I have been crazy working on a few new designs and trying to improve on some old ones. There was still so many things left unfinished from my to do list for this weekends market however I also have 2 very big markets in September in Canberra to prepare for so I'm not too disappointed. Although it's been challenging over the last few months to get the work play balance right as I'm now juggling a part time job, my little business, having the stress of having our house on the market, and being a mum and wife and all the things that come with that role...cook, cleaner, etc...I've noticed now more then every the benefit of being able to multi task.

I'm sooooo looking forward to spending the day with my much loved Market Lady friends and getting to meet some more new faces. My Darling Husband will also be helping me out for the day so I may get a chance to have a peek around. Some of my new designs include a moon and star mobile, Happy thunder cloud rattles and a new take on my popular apple and pears so be sure to come by and say hello!

A MUSHROOM WEEKEND

Over the weekend I have been crazy busy making new story book mushrooms just in time for Mathilda's Market Lane cove in a few weeks. I have been asked many times over to make smaller Mushroom families so here they are all finished and ready to be packed away for the market. I'm also selling some smaller mushrooms as requested by customer's they look so cute on a book shelf and they can double as a pin cushion.

Now back to my next project's more snails, owls, book worms, whales, scottie dogs and a new moon and star mobile.... Have a great week everyone!

Mathildas Market Tomorrow

I'm sorry I have been a little absent from blogging however I have been busy preparing for Mathilda's Market tomorrow 2nd May in Land Cove.

I have been making lots of new things and have also been making more snails and circus tents.

You can find my under my life size felt tree in front of the stairs.

Also looking forward to catching up with my market lady friends you know who you all are.

Great Photos

Ok This is a really late post but I wanted to share some really lovely photos that were taken by Annie from Annie La Rue photography in Canberra a few weeks ago.

Annie was so nice to e-mail me these lovely photos taken on the day Thanks Bella! You can check out her amazing photographys here. Or you can also head over to the Mathilda's Market blog here to check out the other amazing photos she took on the day.

Harrison on the day was smitten with Annie as he recieved a white balloon to play with this really help with setting up...Thanks again Annie.

NEIGHBOURS

It's often thought that when at a market you are at competition with your neighbours fighting for the sale and any one who does anything similar you are at war with. Well that was far from the truth at the last Mathilda's market held at the lovely Paddington Town Hall.

I was positioned right next to the Lovely Jacqueline designer and owner of

Red Berry Design. Jacqueline's stand looked amazing and both her and her boy friend are just lovely people. Totally amazing mobiles


And they are even cuter boxed in....

Look out for Jacqueline from red Berry design and check out her amazing items online.

Rain Rain go away....

Well looks like I've gotten over my tummy bug just in time for Mathilda's Market tomorrow at Paddington Town Hall it's the 1st Sydney Mathilda's Market for the year. I'm looking forward to seeing all the beautiful stalls set up in this lovely venue....

The Great thing about Mathilda's Markets are that they are always inside so there is no excuse to come out and brave the weather for your chance to pick up some bags full of lovely goodness.....

I'm lucky to have the help of my husband tomorrow and will have to make some time to wonder around and get a chance to say hello to some familiar faces...

Have a great weekend

BRING IT ON!

YAY!....It's here....
We are packed and ready to head off to Canberra for a weekend of FUN and let's hope lot's of SALES. Harrison is still in bed so I'm hoping I can get a few things done before he wakes up.
We are staying in Canberra for the night which I'm a little excited about...I've only been to Canberra once before but that was in amongst lot's of kids on a school bus and we were all bithcin about how far it was and at the time I was more interested in what was on my Walkman YES Walkman lol! then how great the sight's of Canberra are.....

So now a few (well a lot) of years later we are making the Trip to Canberra. This will be my little boy's first trip out of Sydney so double Yay for him...

Hope to see all you Ladies in Canberra well and in good spirits for a great day.

Road Trip

I'm so exciting to be travelling to Canberra this weekend for my 1st Mathilda's Market for the year. It will be in the new venue the Park Hyatt which I hear is amazing and a lot bigger then the last venue so that means more shopping for me....(Shhhhh....Don't tell my Husband.) I'm lucky to be attending the market with some other Sydney ladies including Helen from Ensparkle who has a great new logo and website design so make sure you check her out.

And the lovely Sarah from Madi and Me...

If you want a sneak peek of things to come head on over to the Mathilda's Market website for more to drool over....

ONE DOWN.... MANY MORE TO COME...

Well the end has come to Mathilda's Markets.

The day was very successful and I had a blast meeting lots of lovely ladies and husbands..and catching up with a few friends that I made during this year. Every ones stands looked amazing and there was so much new and exciting items available. I happened to buy a few shorts and pants for Harrison as I find it hard to get lovely pants for boy's but was able to control my self this time around to my husbands joy. My stand at Mathilda's Market was jam packed with goodies I just love my new JACK blocks that I made for the market they were a huge hit and have lots of orders to get done over the next 3 weeks..Ahhhh....

Harrison looking very dapper in his matching Onesie, Bib and Crown.. He was a little handful for daddy on the day and to Daddy's amazement he did number 2's twice ...welcome to my world mister was all I had to say when he came to me shocked.

Overall it was a great day HOT but great and now having a little break before the made rush to get things finished for Allies Attic..

DO YOU HAVE A GOOD MEMORY

I remember playing the memory game when I was a little girl.

If only my memory was as good now then it was back then.

This is a great little game to play with your little ones and Harrison just loves playing with the discs.

There are 12 discs and they come in a handy felt pocket with instructions.

FIT FOR A KING

I spent the day making Children's Crowns. I have had this on my list of things to do for some time now. I used my little fellas head as mold for the size and designed it around how I wanted it to sit on his head. It was really fun to make. I got hooked and made a few more with many different designs.
The Completed Crowns in all there glory.


My darling boy Harrison playing outside with his Crown.
Stay turned many more things in the pipe line.......

In the mix

Well I haven't been blogging much lately as I have been so busy on the home front as well as trying to juggle the preparations for the up coming markets in November and December.....

I have finished the finger puppets and drawstring bags...

These are my Animal puppets I also have some nursery rhyme puppets coming soon....so stay tuned!

My Bots are all ready to be stuffed and trimmed of loose threads.....

My Monsters are also ready for the stuffing process to begin......

On the home front Harrison has began climbing things last week all around the house first it was the coffee table then he tried his luck at the playpen....Now he has found a way to join me at my working table he pushed his toy box as close as possible to my desk and as you can see .....HI MUMMY.....

Cheeky boy he even got down and brought his puzzle blocks up to join me...Now how am I supposed to work with this cutie sitting next to me.....Ahhhhhh

Till next time.

New Look Mathildas Market

Mathilda's Market has had a face lift. Check out the new look. I was in love with the old look so it may take me a little time to get use to it. But I love the bright colours they used. Very eye catching.

Preparations have been crazy here in my house hold for the November Markets. I have been struck down with a case of tonsillitis as well as a middle ear infection and I can no longer talk....ahhhh.

I have so much still to do and nothing has been accomplished over the last few days as I've been in bed feeling sorry for my self. My darling husband has taken a few days off to look after our full of energy son Harrison whom never sits still and is always on the go...

I'm sure that most of you are aware of Mathilda's Market by now however if you are not and have little ones it is a must see market.

At Mathilda's Market you'll see the funkiest and most gorgeous of outfits for the kids, chic bedrooms decor and furnishings, bright and brilliant toys, must have accessories, pretty and practical bags and shoes, dreamy vintage-inspired creations, handcrafted musical instruments and jewellery, fabulous dress-up costumes, striking linen ...and so much more! So don't forget to visit GIFTS CREATED at Mathilda's Market on Sunday 1st November, from 9am - 1pm at St Ignatius Collage Riverview, Tambourine Bay Rd, Lane Cove.

So back to bed for me now I'm going to TRY to do some work tomorrow.
