Marketeering in Buninyong

My stall

'Twas a lovely little day out in the country today at the Buninyong Makers Market.
The crowds were rushing in early, so I only managed to snap a couple of quick photos immediately after we'd set up for the day.

The town hall is absolutely beautiful, and had a lovely vibe all day. There was a steady stream of customers, and it was great to have a chat and a laugh with everyone.

Tinniegirls Stall

There were FREE chocolate cupcakes on the way in (which were truly delicious), and then as soon as we arrived we happened to meet a lovely girl from the coffee shop across the road who was taking coffee orders, and delivering them back to the market (can you believe it)!

Then to make it even more unbelievable, she just so happened to be Trudi and Nikki's sister. Talk about a small world!

It was lovely to catch up with Jodie (without that nasty cough thank goodness), and Annie, and I finally got to meet Kathryn too, which was lovely.

A huge thankyou to my crafty partner-in-crime (who I think I should be maybe re-naming my arty partner-in-crime), and my sister (who sarcastically calls herself the 'donkey'), for lugging all my bits and bobs, and trolleys, and boxes and whatsits, because I certainly wouldn't be out and about marketeering without all of that help.

Home Again

Watching the lawn bowls...

I'm home again after a lovely weekend away in the country.

I had my market stall at the Daylesford Makers Market on Saturday. The weather was perfect, and the stallholders and customer were lovely, which makes it a wonderful day out . I met Jocelyn from Bye Bye Birdie, Dana from Twiglet, Michelle from Kids with Crayons, Sonya from Sago on Tuesdays and Rachelle from Rachelle and Co.

My stall was next to Amber from UB Design. She had the most gorgeous resin bangles, but my abnormally skinny wrists meant that I couldn't buy one...drats.

There were bloggy visitors too - Jodie, Annie, Jacinta, and Abbe all popped by and said hello (I hope I didn't miss anyone).

I only managed to snap a couple of quick photos of my own stall before the market started, but there are some great photos over at the market blog.

 

I came home with some more bike fabric (still in my suitcase) from Martine at Greenolive , some home made yo yo biccies (since consumed of course), and this lovely hanmade embroidered lavender sachet envelope from Rachelle.... how sweet!

After the market, we all headed into Ballarat for a yummy dinner on Saturday night, and then visited my dad before heading back to Clunes for an early night.

My nephews had a great time playing at the park, and riding their scooters down the street to Widow Twankeys to buy lollies.

The twins climbed everything they could find!

Thismorning it was pancakes with maple syrup and cream at home, before we headed down to the main street for coffee and a light lunch.......

The weekend sailed by far too quickly, and it was time to head home...... I'll be making the same road trip again in April - yippee!

New CurlyPops Stockist - Milk Thieves Art & Design

I have to thank Lou for letting me know about this lovely new shop, Milk Thieves Art & Design, that has opened in Wollongong, full to the brim with handmade loveliness.

A delivery of brooches and brooch kits are winging their way into the shop right now, and should be available very very soon.

If you're in the area, pop in and say hi to Emma-Lee - Shop 10A, 157 Crown St, Wollongong.

500th Post Winner

Sorry for the delay... it seems that the random number generator doesn't want to work tonight.

I've resorted to using 54 little pieces of screwed up paper in a lovely vintage pyrex bowl.

....and the winner is comment number 35 - Annie!

Congratulations Annie, I'll send you an email right away. Thanks so much to everyone who entered, I hope I can keep up the blogging for at least another 500 posts!
