Markets in March

The next wave of markets in Perth will be in March, when we have Perth Upmarket and also Unwrapped at South Perth.

I am hoping to participate in both, so I have cleared my desk of Christmas paraphenalia and started on some new ideas.

Some New Treasures

I have got some new treasures recently and thought I would share some of them with you:

Can you guess what this is?

Does this picture give you a better idea?  It is a fabulous pot stand made of balls of felt!

this is a lovely old wooden spindle with the spool and thread still inside which we got at an auction in Albany,

and this is a tiny vintage tricycle which we simply had to have!

Shine a Little Sunbeam

I haven't just been roaming about in Melbourne, I have made some more felted nests and used some of my old (coverless) books to make pedestals for them.

With Spring in the air I  decided it is time to introduce a splash of colour to my office so I made tiny felt bunting to string up on my pin board.

I found some rolls of wide vintage lace at Camberwell Markets.  I really only wanted a few metres but the lady would only sell it if I bought the whole lot, so now I am experimenting with how I can use it.

Enjoy the first day of Spring!
