to market to market......

off to the Portarlington markets this morning, I found this jewellery stall.

so I had to share this with you!!

not many jewellery stalls really grab me. This one, I could NOT ignore!!

I absolutely had to have these wooden earings

they are by a Melbourne Artist who's business is called Owl and Fox

an apron for Annie

so I have been some what obsessed with aprons lately, actually for a while now!!
the big problem was with deciding what to buy for my mother in law for christmas. in need of nothing, wants nothing! Suddenly it dawned on me. Annie is an apron wearer from way back. After seeing my sister in law in one of Annie's aprons that I wouldn't be caught dead in, that was it. a fancy shmancy apron, so you feel dressed up even with it on!!
I really want to keep it myself! which I figure is the sign of a good pressie. will she like it? who knows! I do, I think it's a great gift. So off to wrap it up now, an apron for Annie!

she's gone shirring mad!!

It seems I've gone completely shirring mad!

it is so addictive and everything just looks so

absolutely cute!

There are so many tutorials on how to do it, you really must give it a go!

I plan to have a whole range ready for the Tranquility Fair

in Ocean Grove on Jan 2nd 2010!

be sure to put it on your calendar, and drop by to say hello!
