Sunday Markets

This Sunday I am at Boutique Markets at Portside Wharf, Hamilton.

Let's hope that the morning isn't too chilly, not easy putting up a marque with frozen fingers.

The stall across from me is always tempting me with her lovely things but am trying very hard not to make anymore 'want' purchases until later. Here is a few pics from Our Country Garden.

I can't help but imagine these baskets filled with goodies, lining the shelves of my Butlers Panty.

Have a great Wednesday.

Getting Organized

While planning the new house I decided to look around for  some inspiration for my new workroom,
(will be so great to not sew in the garage anymore:-) ), so as to not end up like this again.

Things get a little crazy and this sometimes happens. Lack of storage and the fact that I am now sharing the garage with a bath tub and 5 bikes, a bike buggy not to mention all the camping equipment and tools.

So the new room will be like heaven.

Wonder if it will look like one of these?

We can always dream.

Creativity and tidiness don't always go together with me.

Have a great Tuesday.

Bliss

In the chaos of family arriving tomorrow,  overdue cleaning is a must today along with truck loads of sewing as I try to prepare stock for my upcoming busy month.
I rescued a baby bird from our front garden and set it back high in a the tree from the bedroom balcony, much to the distress of the 4 adult birds that were hovering around and swooping at us when we left for school this morning.  Has now climbed back up to safety and Mum is feeding it.
Good deed for the day :-)
Now have put it back again, don't think it is quite ready.

I found a few moments to look over one of my favorite fabric designers blogs.
I can't wait for this range to come out is September.  I have to admit I am missing my blue with  red and white polkadots from Ruby Rosebud ( as much as I love my new logo ) so will have to satisfy my cravings with beautiful fabrics for my clothing  and home wares.

Off to clean house.  Have a happy Tuesday.

kitchen Inspiration.

Off to meet with yet another kitchen place tomorrow, I've never had such a problem getting a quote.  You would think that doing a full build with kitchen, laundry,  and 2 bathrooms and 4 wardrobes someone would be keen.
Anyway, loving these high cupboards, we will have 3 meter ceilings in kitchen and living room.

Would be nice to have a unlimited budget.

Busy sewing stock for the  Butterfly Tree and Mathilda's Markets in August.

Good news, looks like I will have a mobile eftpos machine  to take along.  

Suncorp has some good deals if anyone is looking.

Have a great day

Loving Rattan

Still drooling over the Riviera Maison website.
I was down at Ascot the other day and in one of my favorite shops Lyle & Bank.
I found out  that they have been able to place an order with Riviera Maison and will be expecting a delivery in about 8 weeks.  Just long enough to save up for a few things!!!

We had a quite but lovely day down at Portside, the rain held off which was great but a little chilly early on.

Rachael is doing a great job flying solo.

I fished off my little bird house so will post a little pic later on.  Will be starting on some more this week and getting ready for my first visit to the Butterfly Markets on the Gold Coast.

Learning to comprimise

After blowing out the building budget a little I have been shopping around for some cheaper options for my furniture purchases.
I found these chairs in Ikea and will make a linen slip cover like the one in Riviera maison, stain the legs and who will ever know.

Was loving this

But found this in Recollections for less than half the price. Looks more beige in person.

Was hoping to curl up here.

Found this in OZ Design

Have a great weekend and if you are in the area drop into the Boutique Markets at Portside, Hamilton.

There are heaps of new stalls with amazing things.

More time

Don't you think we should get an Alice as standard issue when you get married and have kids.

Then there would be more time to sew and relax here

Boutique Markets

A beautiful day down at Hamilton.
Leasl and Rachael did a great job putting together the Kids and Pets Day.
A sad good bye to Leasl as she leaves us for other things.  All the best, we will miss you.

The Chandelier birdcages are available by order.  Contact me through the website if you are interested.

Off to get ready for Mathilda's on Saturday.

Off to Market

One more sleep to go till Ruby and Belle has it's Launch at the Boutique Markets on Sunday.
I will miss my red polka dots but love my new look.
Rachael from A Room For Everyone is kindly doing a spot on her blog on Ruby and Belle so pop over here to see her inspiring blog.
Will leave you with some pics of my girls.  Have a lovely weekend.
