Waltzing through with Talent: Shenevski from Etsy

I didn't forget! I've just been really behind with my blog posts, now that I've started full time work. Still trying to learn how to juggle the balance, but I'm confident I'll get there soon.

But in the meantime, here's the winner of the last Waltzing through with Talent giveaway:




Congratulations to Abby !

We'll be in touch shortly.



Next Waltzing through with Talent coming up on Friday!

Flea Market Finds

I've always wanted to play along with Sophie's Sunday Flea Market finds. But never had the time to take the photographs.
But after running by a garage sale yesterday, I was so pleased with my haul that I dug out a few minutes to take some really quick (and dodgy) photos!

A house a few doors down was having a garage sale, and while I don't normally have time to go to garage sales (much to my dismay) I couldn't possibly not go to the one just a few doors down.

And it was a good thing I did for I came away with these:



A whole tub of craft, diy and cooking books

AND


More books and stacks upon stacks of old craft magazines.



All for a grand total of 20 dollars.

How awesome is that? I'm slowly wiping the dust off the books and mags and putting them lovingly into my shelves.
Wasn't it good that I recently scored myself a whole bunch of new book shelves?

Here's another shot of the stacks of magazines:





Mine, it's all mine!

There's cafes for lunch (really good food too!), a kids craft table, a playground, and while the ladies are busy coo-ing over the beautiful handmadies, the blokes can go peek at the footy or the cricket over a cooling beer (in the room next door!).

There's something for everybody, so come along!

The Handmade Show: January Edition

Stepping back into the past for a bit.. Time flew by so fast that I didn't even get the chance to report on The Handmade Show that was organized by myself last month.

It is such a hot day that I don't really have words right now. So I'm going to leave you with photos and the assurance that the Show went terribly fantastically and our next one is March 20th with applications to open up soon for more stallholders.



Absolutely adorable softies from Holi Goddess


Pastel beauties in the form of cushions and pillows from Vintage sew and so


Detailed artwork from Ep Designs


Beautiful hair accessories for the ladies from BowerBird Inc

And of course, Little Waltz, was there as well, but you've all seen photos of my stalls before, so I'll skip on that.

If you'd like to stay up to date with news and what's up with The Handmade Show, please follow our blog at : the handmade show ... which is in desperate need of an update, but I'll get around to it this week. I promise.
