Scenes from the Market

Last weekend Port Macquarie Artist Market combined with Port Macquarie Growers Market to bring together a lushious mix of craft, art and locally grown produce.  I was in heaven, and even though I was busy with the Earlybird stall it still didn't stop me from browsing and buying.  Here are some scenes...

 

            We were in awe of the pelicans

                           Our Earlybird stall backed onto this...hard life eh?

             All the lovely customers...you can also see me at the Earlybird stall at the back - white shirt, vacant expression - Next door was the awesome BodyBar soaps.

            Me to the right shouting at some familiar faces...please excuse the mess under the table

                           This sign says it all really!

Worthy of Note...

Rain no more!!

In my little corner of the world it has not ceased to rain for the past 2 weeks. Well, perhaps it has stopped momentarily in order to gather up steam for the next down pour but more often than not, if I look out the window I have met with grey skies, green green grass and puddles.  But today, gloriously, blue skies broke through the clouds and we have sunshine.  So here's a few handmade lovelies I picked to celebrate...

New Things and A New Find

This is a bit of a combo post as I was just about to add a couple of new things I have added to my etsy shop but then also stumbled upon this truly beautiful flickr group called Girls and Their Backs and had to share it.  Here are a couple of images from the group but there are many many unique images here.  So adorable!

and here are a couple of new things added to my shop as of late...

                                                                   Terrarium Necklace

Fresh from the Earlybird Oven

Here are some new items, added to my Etsy and Madeit shop. The temperature has dropped considerably in the last few weeks around here, so I've tried to "feel" the warmth with some bright new colours.

New Path Taken

This pic here was taken at Warwick Castle in the UK last October.  In it is my (blonde at the back), Jake and Maddy, my adorable stepkids and Chris, my husband and best friend.  This post is actually suppose to be just about Chris however I struggled to find a photo of him where he's not pulling a face or a pose so this one seemed acceptable. 

So, to get right down to it, my husband has been studying to be a teacher for about 4 years.  In a previous life he was a dancer and an actor, in fact he has a degree in Performance Arts.  He has also been a retail manager which filled him with joy every day (not really).  But he decided to become a teacher and after 4 years of battling the books and the uni assignments he finally got there!  So I just wanted to put this little tribute and RARRRRRR!!!! out there in blog land for my husband.  Proud of you darling!
