Off to Market!!

What a fabulous day at the Port Macquarie Foreshore Market today!  Weather was beautiful, the water was blue and the customers were more than awesome.  Am exhausted and in need of some relaxation, but before that, I thought I'd share a pic of Chris (Mr Earlybird) tending to our stall. 

Introducing a friend of mine...

The lovely Holly Anne from Pretty Betty is not only a good friend of mine but also incredibly talented.  I love the decadent vintage feel of her jewellery.  Her eye for detail and beautiful photos makes her Etsy shop a treasure to browse through.  Pay her a visit! 

New Baby = More time to Blog...

Bahahahahaha!  Thought I would begin with a bit of humour.  After all it's amazing how many comments I receive from people who don't have children who think that now I have baby James and no longer working the 9-5 automatically means I have time to paint my toe nails and read magazines.  In truth, the Frankie mag I bought last week is still sitting unopened on the coffee table.  I look at it longingly and then the washing machine sings it's familiar tune. 

So rather than crying "time poor!!" I have decided to get back to the world of blogging.  Geez I hope I can deliver!

My Creative Space - Clearing the Decks for PMC

PMC - Precious Metal Clay - is a craft that I have found only recently...well less than 12 months anyway.  Yesterday I cleared the workbench to make room for tools, mats, ring mandrels and most importantly tightly sealed PMC packets.  Here are some of the works in progress and I should have the finished products to show off sometime this week.

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!
