2 weeks to go until The Handmade Market!!

It's only 2 weeks to go and I am really looking forward to it. Let's hope I get my act together in time. I'm still waiting on some supplies for some new designs so I am hoping it all comes together!
I've attached the invitation. There are so some fabulous new stallholders and the location is perfect. If you live in and around Canberra and love gorgeous handmade things then you MUST come!

New!



As you can see, I've been busy lately. These are a one off range of ring and disc sets I've put together using some beautiful paper I had left over from other projects. Flowers are the theme since it's almost spring - my favourite time of year.

I'm always trying to find ways to improve my photos. This lot isn't too bad I think. Always room for improvement though!

Inspiration



I get a lot of my inspiration form Interior Decoration Magazines and websites. One of my very, very favourite websites is Anthropologie. They have the most amazing home decor & fashion. I love their style, mixing vibrant colours and patterns - with a retro edge. One such item is their bedding range called Alessandra. Unfortunately, they have already sold out. I can still dream, admire and be inspired....

I love this wallpaper.....





I was reading a recent issue of Elle Decoration UK (my favourite magazine at the moment), came across this stunning wallpaper called 'Pip' by Brian Yates and fell in love. I was very dissappointed to find out you can't buy it from a retailer in Australia but a quick search online lead me to Kingdom Interiors. They not only ship to Australia but sent me some samples. Now that I've seen them in person I HAD to buy some so watch this space for some 'Pip' inspired creations......
