Rain and the Blackbird Market

Last Saturday it rained and it was cold for most of the morning and early afternoon.
It felt like winter in the middle of summer and I, amongst others, had a stall at the Blackbird Market in Fitzroy. It wasn't as busy as the last market and I'm pretty sure it was due to the weather and other events that were around town on the same day.

Nevertheless I enjoyed myself all day, it was nice to see some lovely, familiar, faces.

I can't make the March market (Miss 6 is turning 7 that weekend), but I will be there for the April market.

Thanks to all that came to visit, see you in April.

French Garden

Who doesn't love a good garden?!

I know I do, and just this morning I was lucky enough to have time out with a close friend. We sipped our coffee and then enjoyed a leisurely walk around a gorgeous garden here in Eltham, Victoria.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the local gardens but I do love viewing pictures of beautiful French Gardens.



This piece that I have made here in Eltham is named French Garden, a bracelet featuring a gorgeous handmade lampwork glass bead together with Vintage Glass Beads, Lucite and Czech Glass Beads.
Available now in my etsy shop.

My collection of reading material for the week

I simply couldn't find Peppermint magazine anywhere last week, which made me a little upset that some of my local newsagents didn't stock it. Dragging my 2 year old around with me in search only added to my frustration, so after spending some time on Twitter I realised I could purchase it from the lovely Leeloo. Whilst I was there I ordered some back issues of Mix Tape and I was thrilled when my parcel arrived this week.

I did find the latest edition of Frankie and my copy of Dumbo feather arrived in the mail so I'm looking forward to some "me" time this week, to curl up and do a spot of reading.
