tonight! - the sisters' fair - robinvale

Tonight is the first "sisters' fair" as organised by the girls at Koolaman designs.

It is going to be a lovely night in an old homestead on the banks of the Murray River at Robinvale - fully airconditioned - so please don't be put off by this crazy hot weather that we have been having!

I have some last minute sewing to finish and then need to leave home just after lunch to get down there to set up ready for the start at 5pm. Hope to see you there!

sister's fair - 11th November 2009

Well another market is added to the list before Christmas - this one has been organised by Lisa at Koolaman Designs - who I haven't as yet had the pleasure of meeting but have been eyeing off the girls beautiful work and might have to put in an order myself for hubby for Christmas!

Lisa has organised a special market night for Wednesday 11th November 2009 in Robinvale, Victoria. Now for those that are going - where in the world is Robinvale - check the map link I have added. Basically about an hour and a half from me here in Mildura towards Melbourne. So if you are in that area or know someone that is that may like to pop up for this very exciting night - please let them know!

A small selection of stall holders will have on offer a beautiful array of jewellery, fabrics, lighting, children's clothing, toys, gourmet foods, and more - plus we are all making a plate of some yummy snacks for the night and refreshments will be available.

So where in Robinvale?

at the Robinswood Homestead, Lennon Drive, Robinvale.

It is sure to be a lovely night so pop on out and do a spot of Christmas shopping and have a chat. Hope to see you there!

Blogtoberfest Day #3 ~ Meet & Greet

I had a fantastic morning at the markets this morning - four short hours absolutely flew and I didn't get much of a chance to look at some of the other gorgeous goodies on offer.

However, I did finally get the chance to meet Amber from FreshFabricAustralia - it is so nice to put a face to a name! Being a handmade only market she wasn't able to have on offer her fabulous fabrics but she had bought with her a lovely selection of handmade cushions, tops and baby wraps.

My neighbour Leah from Vintage Chenille also had her fabulous selection of handmade softies and quilts.

And I also met at the stall next to me a lovely lady by the name of Veah (yes with a V) from Koolaman Designs who was there on behalf of her daughter who makes the most precious handstamped sterling silver pieces - just devine!

It was wonderful to see such gorgeous handmade goodies as well as many more creations at the market today. I'm looking forward to another great market tomorrow morning, although it will have to be early to bed for me tonight - don't forget daylight savings - wind your clocks FORWARD one hour. At least that means (hopefully) the kids will wake at 7am instead of 6am!
