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!

My first treasury.

Now i'm not that new at the whole etsy thing but I am new at the making of treasuries. So as I was trawling the thousands of shops I love online it occurred to me that maybe I could do one, just to see.

And here it is, my first ever treasury.
All about sisters and presents and how hard it it to find the perfect gift!

November rain/ rummage!

Well we were dubious about the weather but it turned out to be a really nice day. A little windy towards the end but all in all, a pretty good one.

Ash and I had clothes to share, handmade brooches, earrings and hairclips, handmade cards and gift tags and the most awesome little christmas tree decorations ever! (also handmade, of course!)

The new location I feel was a winner in the end. There were loads of other markets going on this weekend but it felt like we were in the thick of it. People who probably didn't even know about us stumbled upon the rummagers outside the library and for the better I hope. It was nice to see new faces and hopefully we made their day as much as they made ours.

I'll admit the sun did get a little burny as the afternoon rolled through but better sun than rain I say! (lets hope i'm not sunburt though!!)

Here are a few snaps of the day, just in case you didn't catch us!
