Follow me to far far away

Hi all,

Just a quick note to anyone following me that I’ve discontinued this blog (if you hadn’t already figured) and I’ve started a new one up on my rocknwrap webpage. If you love your rss reader as much as I do for following blogs, I have an rss feed link, just click it and away you go.

There are several other ways that you can keep up to date on all things rocknwrap - follow me on my facebook page where I preview new items before they get into the shop or sign up for my newsletter which features special offers and new pieces.

Hope to see you there!

The year of the Pendant

I was in the paper!

Apparently this is the year of Online Shopping, contrary to the Chinese calendar which says it is the year of the Tiger. Who to believe, who to believe.

I particularly like the way the text bleed came through when I scanned the article - I've got text freckles! Who needs makeup?

And off to market again!

See you on Saturday at The Handmade Expo, Ipswich Turf Club, Brisbane Rd, Bundamba, 8-2. Free parking and free entry.

Repeat after me: Best Market Ever!

This post has been delayed due to broken-nosedness. Ouch.

Well, I'm still recovering from Saturday's BiDM, but in the best of possible ways. Yes, I'm absolutely pooped but it was a beautiful day, great customers and everyone out doing their Christmas shopping! This was my view from my stall:

It was lovely to be at the frontline and able to chat about what I do, rather than hiding behind a rather stuffy internet profile. The girls who organise this event are ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS and I am awe of their friendly professionality (I believe I may have just made up a word there).

And then, after a wonderful day out on Saturday, my Etsy shop has been absolutely bonkers this week, and I've been wearing my little calluses to the bone organising all those orders. And the Handmade Expo is on on Saturday, so got to geared up for that also. Busy, busy, busy, but I'm loving it!

I did find time to indulge myself in some goodies on Saturday though, as the wonderful Meera came and helped out all day. By far my favourite purchase of the day comes from the enchanting Sandrine. I got one of these, but in scarlet red!

Going to look stunning over my black evening dress for my next concert performance. My husband just shook his head (as this is the second of my gorgeous tops from SMBoutique, I think he might be worried that I have an addiction).

I was on such a high all weekend, thank you Brisstyle! I'm enjoying being a member so very very much.

Best....Market.....Ever!

This weekend!

Come and find me, I'll be residing in the hall. Come and get all your Christmas shopping done (I certainly intend to!)

Glad the weather is looking to be not too hot!

Finding it hard to stay awake?

Well, this should keep you going for a while! Created by my husband to roast bigger batches of coffee than your standard household needs. And why should we want this, you ask?

Well, rocknwrap is going to be selling its special blend of home-roasted coffee beans at the BiDM on Saturday. Going to have a busy night before to churn out all we need for the day. Hope they're a hit!

So come along and get your hit of freshly roasted coffee, medium roast with floral, citrus and cocoa flavours, smooth and creamy and chocolatey. Mmmmm!

Missed it

The flying foxes got this one, but graciously left us half. How kind!

And my climbing Double Delights continue to delight and delight and delight! HOT day today. Hope you're keeping cool wherever you are.

Bead reamer arrival

Whoopee! My bead reamer arrived today (well, actually yesterday - it sat on the front step all night) and I finally got a chance to make those pesky holes in the labradorite beads big enough to put wire through. Huzzah!

One week until the BiDM, and things are happening, but I haven't got anywhere near my table setup yet.

I have a small child on my left, in her highchair, gumming a slice of vegemite/cheese toasty finger into submission, and a husband on my right installing a light for me under my little shelf to light my little workbench. Life is good.
