what a wonderful day....

I just thought I would do a quick post to show you a few photos from my wonderful day yesterday at the Shearwater Threads of Life Spring Fair.....it was such a lovely and colourful day and I was lucky enough to meet a couple of my online customers in person which is always really nice..

I am a little tired from the hectic week preparing for the day....making sure I had enough of everything (which of course I did) so photos is all I can get my head around today.

                             

I hope you had as nice a day as I did yesterday....what exciting things did you get up to....I would love to know.

trip away...some wool...and a craft market...

Just returned from a few days in chilly Sydney.....where I grew up and where almost all of my family live. I love Sydney...I don't miss living there though but I really enjoy my time spent exploring and doing totally different things.

Beautiful big, sandstone homes with stunning leadlight windows......inner city second hand book shops where you have to fight your way through the door and could spend the day browsing and still not see everything......Rozelle Saturday Markets were a highlight for me this trip....very exhilarating....so many fantastic stalls....and boy was it freezing. I really don't know how the stall holders braved it. I have worked at markets on and off for most of my adult life trying to make some money out of my handicrafts but don't think I have experienced that kind of chilliness......I found an old copy of FRANKIE to add to my collection and some warm gloves for my son's ski trip soon. I could have spent up big but my bag for the plane  was already full so had to restrain myself....I guess I should be grateful for that full bag....

I am working on some new scarves at the moment with a yummy, chunky, soft slubby wool similar to a hand spun but not thick and thin like that. Most nights I could be found snuggled up near the heater knitting away. Below is a preview of one in the AUTUMN RAINBOWS colours.

Our local CRAFT MARKET is on again this Saturday at Milk+Honey in Mullumbimby....just near the round about as you come into town....you really can't miss it. Their will be a collection of local artists and crafters displaying their latest and greatest, some coffee, some cake and if you are lucky - some famous pizza...yummo. 

9am until 1ish and the local Mullum Market is on the same day so why not make a day of it???

Would love to hear from you....so please comment away...been to any great markets lately?
