I'm Off To Find and Keep

I don't do that many markets these days so am super excited to be at not one, but two Finders Keepers in the next two months!

This weekend I'll be in Melbourne...

... and next month, in Brisbane.

Both markets in are in gorgeous spaces and I'll be surrounded by talented designers from all around Australia.  What's not to love about that?

Finders Keepers

In just over a week I'll be heading on down to old Melbourne town for Finders Keepers and I'm pretty excited about it.

I've also managed to book myself a little free Melbourne time, time for a wander and to explore.  If you had some free hours in Melbourne, where would you go?

Finding and Keeping

I can't begin to tell you what a fabulous time I had at Finders Keepers this weekend!  

It was so much fun meeting so many new people, watching the fashions, catching up with old friends, shopping and eating yummy macaroons.  I had been really nervous before it began, but was so chuffed with the response to my new-look table, new packaging and new collection.  Thank you again to everyone that came by and especially to all the lovely people that adopted some kimono reincarnate goodies.  I love when they go to good homes.

I never did get around to taking photos, but Rachael from Penelope and Pip has the most beautiful ones on her blog that really make you feel like you were there.

I got to sneak out from the table for a little while and do some shopping.  Most I can't show you as they've gone into the Christmas present box, but I did pick up this fabulous tote bag by TMOD for myself.

I now have another very busy week ahead of me as I prepare for a mid-week workshop and then for the BrisStyle Eco Market this Saturday.  That market will be a very different one for me as it's my big kimono fabric / Japanese cottons destash / seconds sale.  I'll try to pop up some teaser photos during the week...

Arrived!

Did you hear me squeal?  I swear, it was so loud that it would have been audible world-wide.  And truth be told, it was rather high-pitched and girly, a real rival to my two year olds screeches.

Why all the excitement?  The advanced shipment of my new packaging arrived.  I'm so excited and just love the way it looks, a lovely fresh look in time for summer.

The tins have a cardboard sleeve that slips over to make it easier to gift wrap.  

And I just love how some of the Tokyo Collection is looking in there.  I'll have a lot more photos of those pieces to show next week.

The new packaging is being launched next week at Finders Keepers.  You'll find us over in the last room.  I can't wait!

Corky Saint Clair

Corky Saint Clair has some of the funkiest collection of jewellery cuteness around.

You can find his work (and mine!) in his shop in the Degraves Street Subway in Melbourne.

And a little birdy told me that he'll also be at the upcoming  Melbourne Finders Keepers market.

If you're in the area drop by and say hi to "Corky" and his Carry Monster.
