It's been all systems go here at Buttontree Lane - I am participating in my first market this weekend. Nerves are jangling but I'm also super excited to be sharing a marquee with my friend Michelle from Poppy, Bean and Bloss. Not only is she super nice, but I get to die from the cuteness of looking at her Waldorf dolls and sock monkeys all day!
Anyway, every night after work I've been locking myself in the sewing room to pump out sunnyboys and boxes for sockses. These here are just some of them. I'm at that stage of wondering whether I have made too many or too few, but I get to play with fabric while I work out my dilemma. I love this job.
If you're in Canberra on Saturday and want to do some Christmas shopping with a handmade flavour, come by the Locally Made Fair and Fete at Manuka Childcare Centre on Flinders Way. I'd love to see you. It's on from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm and apparently the weather is going to be pretty nice! Phew!
See more creative spaces over at Kirsty's.
Good luck with the market. Im sure your stuff will be snapped up, it all looks so wonderful!

ReplyDeleteGood luck at your first market. I hope you don’t get as nervous as I did for my first one. It turns out all those nerves and flip floppy stomach were for no good reason! It was a fun, but long hot day for me; I hope the weather down south is kinder for your debut. I shall be thinking of you as I head into my second market adventure.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the market - but I'm sure you won't need luck! I wish I was in Canberra to come visit the Michelle's stall :)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for a fantastic day, weather and buying wise. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw the penguins with the green spots and got a little excited, but when I saw the orange one with penguins - absolutely love it. You will do well with them, just wish I lived closer to visit the markets
ReplyDeleteOh Good Luck with your market! Fingers crossed that the weather will be fantastic and the buyers non-stop!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhh!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to buy s couple of things from your Etsy shop for the last few weeks....and now some lucky person is going to get my treats at the market.
If you have any of triangular or square bags left made from the birch forest fabric (in chocolate), please, please, pretty please could I buy one. When do you think you might be Etsying again?
Good luck at the market....you will be a sell out for sure!
You might already be on your way to the market to set up, but I hope everything goes well today Michelle!
ReplyDeleteHope the market went well for you. Can't wait to hear your down!
ReplyDeleteCrap that was supposed to be RUNdown!! Not just down. Sorry made it sound a bit odd with the down sitting there by itself....
