At My House ... phewwwww ... it's been a whirl ...

Since last week my life has been a whirl ...

My artist statement for the 2011 exhibiton was submitted ...

  Finders Keepers was on ...

naturally I had to buy one more notebook from Rebound Books.

               My 2011 diary is Sesame Street Little Golden Book in the pic ...

    Saturday I fell in love with Rozelle Markets again . 

An amazing box + two more sticks of inches were mine!

                             Saturday night family dinner.                         

 Sunday was crazy!

 My darling friend Diva's, kitty died.

My shoulder was the Diva's.

 Arrangements for Tashie the kitty had to be made. 

 I dragged the Diva to our local street fair!

I gave her no choice ...

it helped for a smidge.

The silver edged tea cup handle brooch ...
will be altered to wear on a neck chain.

Phew ... told you it's been a whirl! 

See what's happening at other houses here 

Finders Keepers Sydney ... loving it ... BUT ...

Around the stage these 'trees' ...

designed with old pincushion's in mind ...

looked gorgeous ...

stuff from Made 590

Made 590 looked a wee bit tooooo real ...

the gorgeous White girls had something different yet again ...

they're so on the ball ...

lovely stuff ...

by Angie at Materialistic ...

                                Kanimbla clay had the most beautiful candle holders

see more Kanimbla here 

It was too hard to take pics,

the place was jam packed ...

people were being swept along by the crowd ...

 seeing people we knew like ...

Natalie from Rebound where I had to buy another notebook!

Carmel from Feed the Dog ...

Bird Textiles we know and love ...

these two are our top textile design picks.

The menagerie at Catrabbit was astonishing ...

Nikki from Emerald Green Submarine ...

Emily from EmilyRose Stationary ...

the sweehthearts from Frankie.

This time has been the best ever ...
BUT...
how many cushions, t towels and party invitations can one person use?

There was a smidge too many textile and paper designers.

Shame we see the same retailers at Magnolia Square ...

and at Finders Keepers?

Loving it all the same, see you next time!

Finders Keepers is in town = CarriageWorks Sydney = see you there ...

Finders Keepers is in town ...

See you there tonight !

Here's the list of retailers ... WOW!

Finders Keepers Market Sydney = Mother's Day for Me ...

First noticed (apart from sensory overload of a 'singer') ...

was the fab knitting!

Stretched across the main wall, round thick, tall pillars...

needles had obviously been click clacking for months ...

I instantly thought Grrl+dog had plained and purled her genius ...

but no...

Kings Cross Knitters created the magic?

fabulously crowded to the max ...

we made a contribution to the fabulous White Girls ...

we adored these handmade mushrooms installed throughout ...

we yelled to hear the stall holders and each other ...

we loved how accessible and set out it was compared to years gone by...

10/10 Finders Keepers ;-)

we loved enchanted forest treats ...

We saw a crowd five deep ...

we waited and waited ...

Taaaa Daaaaaa ...

we discovered Gaye Naismith of Gaye Abandon with her ...

tubeway armies arm warmers ...

each bought a pair ...

mine are the short black ...

We love them!

we sauntered off into the night ...

agreeing 'cutesy' product overload + way too many brooches!

Me still taking pics ...

I love Carriageworks ...

and looking back ...

we imagined the guys from MasterChef ...

running down this exact space.

We dined out in Enmore ... Happy Mothers Day to me :-)

so very happy...

Thank YOU Darling MJ. xo
