the beach market

Yesterday was the 3rd Beach Market. Despite the appalling weather the appeal of local handmade drew many people out of their warm and cosy homes. It was great to see so many people supporting local crafters (Julie did a fabulous job with advertising. Thanks Julie!). For myself, sales were a disappointing, BUT I had a great time! Firstly I was I was lucky enough to have my stall under a wall heater! Plus, I my stall was next to Ruby Victoria Press. I am so jealous of Narelle's vintage letter press. At one stage I considered grabbing the press and making a run for it, but I feared that the weight of the machine would have hampered my get-a-way so I ditched that idea and purchased a gorgeous blue teapot lino print instead.

I also bought myself a broach and some prints from jasmine rose (below). I also almost bought a fabulous skirt from Mamma Mia, but I couldn't commit to a fabric. I think I'll commission once once I've decided on the fabric. These skirts are fabulous. They can be worn six different ways. Yes, 6 ways to wear one skirt! All in all, a good (if somewhat wet) day.
