restocking baskets & attending the Brindabella Market tomorrow

Greetings all, 

I'm presenting a stall tomorrow, it's been a while, putting my little market hat back on . . . 

Brindabella Business Park Town Square
(Yass Road, next to Canberra Airport)

11a.m. to 2p.m.

Thursday 10th October 

 Love old school ice block makers & cool stuff like this?? Heavily discounted?? Listen up!! 

After deciding to close my handmade sewing & design business last year (after bilateral carpal tunnel decompression surgery) I've been running a sale at www.posie.com.au & attending the occasional little local market.  I'm selling vintage/ retro/ modern inspired children's clothes, onesies, toys, accessories, stationery, bunting flags, night lights, screen printed fabric, thermos flasks, craft kits, twine & everything from Tasmanian Oak knitting needles to tissue paper decorations & party supplies . . . up to 70% off.  Seriously!!  I'm satisfied with 14 successful years in business (while raising a bunch of children & living all over Australia with my soldier) now it's all got to go, below cost. 

Think: $1 badges & $2 sale baskets!!  Listen for giggles - I'm next to awesome local author @taniamccartney who has recently released four new books!!  I'll be wearing a dress by @little_tienda for festivity, so come & say hello, we're a friendly, blonde, colourful duo . . . 

 I'm also bringing fresh chicken eggs, including the incredible blue ones!!  

If you enjoy great food, coffee & love music . . . 

a happy midweek market atmosphere . . . 

this gorgeous event only occurs a few times a year, so run!! 

I'll upload new & leftover stock for sale ASAP on line, then I'm focussing on my new foray into industrial design & things like having 3 high schoolers next year!! 

Thanks, love Posie

silly season antics & Christmas market messages

Greetings all,

Living on the edge here with my computer flashing the blue-screen-of-death on Sunday night, constantly freezing, shutting down & s.u.p.e.r.s.l.o.w.  My long distance IT lover (husband) talked me through backing up vital data, then deleting gigs of data.  I hold my breath, fingers cross, knock on wood - this laptop is barely 14 months old.  I'm frequently interviewed about small business & i always add in my 'top tips' that "unless you are highly computer literate, you should sleep with an IT guy" . . . never makes it to print!!  Can't imagine how much it would cost to pay my husband for his knowledge.

NOW, I'm selling off all of my vintage toys, party goodies & decorations on my website & at these little markets:
Brindabella Market (BBP Town Square near Canberra Airport) on Thursday &
 Christmas Party Market (private residence in Watson ACT) on Friday morning & night. 
Ask me for details if you live in Canberra & would like to come.

Now my shopping for family is all sorted, i treated myself to some goodies from Bison.

If i could swing a hammer, i'd be making a wooden tree from pallets too.

Cutest nativity display EVER, nothing says 3 wise men like ceramic jugs!!

Now my milk bottle trio collection is complete!!

See the vase holding the magnolia branches, got me one of those too.

Spent a slow Sunday making wreaths & decorations with the children.  Holy cow, those polystyrene cones & circular forms were like $5-9 each, someone is getting rich this Christmas, Spotlight??!! 

 Picked up the very last gift for a nephew.  LOVE globes, but geesh, the service was horrid, i told the boys behind the counter off & will complain formally.  I left with a parting "i regret having made a purchase in this store today" & their faces went pale.  Just really wanted that globe - i'm seeing this nephew on the weekend in Bowral, gift size doesn't matter!!   

Thanks folks, also have an extra surprise in my on line Shop right now - with any order over $200 you'll receive a complimentary autographed copy of Handmade Living + a fabric bonus, value over $50.  Get shopping people, thanks for your support, love Posie
EDIT: Just updated my website with more discounts & new products at great prices too!!
