Bleeding Heart Markets

Just a wee re-cap of last Fridays market venture. The rained stayed away and I managed to buy one part of my sisters Christmas pressie. It was fun if a little slow but I had loads of visitors {thanks mum, cousin and other ladies!} so it was pretty fun all round.

My sisters handmade decorations, you can find her on etsy at TheFloatingWorkshop

Mini trees for your mantle or Christmas table! $35 each and can be found on my etsy.

New cushion covers made from vintage pillow cases and vintage zippers, everyone loves an icecream! Will so be on my etsy shop..

Art work and screen printed goodies by Nikki at UptightButDangerous

Party time, excellent!

I love Waynes World, for all the trash and big hair and baseball caps.

This has nothing to do with my last two weekends though {which is what this blog is about} except for the fact that they were both mucho excellentay!

This first was an all round winner of a weekend that began with my sister, mum and I going to a handbag sale and then sliding over to the Kit and Nancy yard sale...hello awesome new YELLOW uni bag and kitschy vintage kitchen scales! I also then mounted a raid on my youngest sisters bedroom {which was mine before I moved out} because I knew my old cane kids rocking chair was still about but hadn't spied it in a while. I was on a mission to save it and save it I did, from an old computer monitor that was squishing it and god knows what else has made that wardrobe its home!

i am going to ROCK uni, yellow style!

all my saturday treasures.

Then it was all about the Christmas craft seeing as I have been asked to have a stall at the Bleeding Heart Gallery Christmas Market,
 Dec 2nd, 10am - 4pm
166 Ann Street, Brisbane.

It's getting to be that time of year!

I love Christmas, so much! I'm not even kidding. 

Last year I made {from scratch} gingerbread men for all my work peeps and other besties and gingerbread reindeer as gift tags for all my family. I also managed my first ever stocking and my market stall was full to the brim with handmade felt tree decorations and garlands.

Anyway, this year my sisters and I are joining creative forces, I can't give much away just yet but here are some photos from last years markets to get you curious!!

All the felties are made by yours truly, the ceramic decos by my sister Ash and the timber trees {painted green and gold} are done by us both {with some Dad help}. The timber trees have been a feature of our Christmas' since forever and we decided to give them a bit of a come back tour this year. They stand about 40cm tall and come with or without decorations {each branch had a small hole drilled into it so you can trim your tiny tree} and are painted green with the star being gold and a slight mist of gold around the branches as 'tinsel'. We love them and hope that they'll be a hit outside our family too!

Christmas is coming...

and i'm working on some new bits and pieces to go with it when it comes!

I love christmas\!!
