I had my Fellow Fashion and Textile Designer from Melbourne stay with me, so she could be a part of Finders Keepers, her first foray into the Sydney market Scene. And she did so well! Lorena of Lore Lore knits is a truely amazing designer and maker of all things knitted. I got myself the most beautiful Dress I think I have ever owned. Winter never seemed so fun now that I have a merino wool dress by Lore Lore.
We had the funnest time together, knitting, eating, enjoying Manly, making homemade laksa and behaving like little girls in icecream bars. I think we had a colour off with our outfits each day we were together and a secret competition of who could wear the reddest lipstick.
She even bought her knitting machine from Melbourne so she could teach me some new moves. Isn't it fun making new friends - especially the colourful real kind.
The Finders Keepers Market was as busy as ever.
My shop neighbour has the most beautiful garden and she gave me these sweet smelling roses. [i will post more about her later].
I have made some new men's Duffel Jackets.
I went walking in Sydney Harbour National Park and swam in the sea and found a drowned rose that had beached itself on the sand.
I watched "Water For Elephants" last night at The Orpheum - my favourite original art deco picture palace. Who doesn't love a film about a circus and there is a beautiful Elephant called Rosie and other eye candy for the ladies and gents!
I hope you all had a great weekend too.

Can you can use the knitting machine as an abacus and give people little knitted receipts?
Well uhm I am not sure sir.
My shop is slow fashion, but i am not sure it is that slow.
Maybe in Greece you could do this?
It certainly looks like you had a lovely weekend! It was nice to see you briefly, I wanted to visit your shop but the weekend was just way too hectic - Next time for sure x
