NEW blog and graphic launch

hello lovely lookers.
Well this Monday morning I found my blog looking all new and cool.
I hope you like!
Watch out something is cooking for next week!

Shop signage

I have opened the shop and it feels wonderful.
All the locals keep popping their head in.
I am open Monday to Saturday 10 am to 5pm
[and sewing in here before and after that to keep up my  stock]
in December i will be open on Sundays 10am to 1pm.


Yesterday I met a lady who has an enamel addiction like me! How wonderful, who would have thought it. We talked about all the different patterns and colours we had
and laughed at some of the prices we have seen  on our huntings. 
We both have strict budgets which makes the hunt more fun and not such a bad addiction...
So good. 
I have put a few pieces in the shop, with plants in them of course.
Getting ready for Finders Keepers Market on the 3rd and 4th December at the Carriageworks.
Come in and visit me soon.

POP Up Gallery Manly Review 1

Last weekend was filled with so much fun and creativity and people in a space on Pittwater Road Manly. It was a pop up Gallery  that began with Photos by local Sydney photographers and grew to Drawings, Paintings, Clothing[me!] and Sangria...
The Photographers, Murray, David and Pete are such amazing open guys they just invited everyone to join in their gallery space. It was open all weekend. 
These beautiful drawings by local Argentinian man Maximo, he is studying business but this is his art. If you missed it well you are pretty unlucky because they are beautiful and naive and unique. Maybe he will have a solo exhibition here one day like he has had in Buenos Aires, unless he goes home before that...
Maximo just popped in on Saturday  to check it out and ended up exhibiting his work on Sunday. So awesome. 

Max and Nachos shopping. Loving the no plastic bags and the scateboard cover, thanks Coles Manly!
