Website up and running!

Hi there my friends,

Finally my website is here! I'm sorry it's taken soooo long to create but websites can be a minefield! Especially for the not so technically gifted.

I ended up following the K.I.S.S. concept (keep it simple stupid).

I do hope you all like it.

If you have any problems navigating it or if there are things that don't quite seem to work, please let me know.

Christmas is nearly upon us, ..... does anyone know where the year went?

Market day is fast approaching. Red Hill Christmas market is on the 5th December.

Come and say Hi, I will be at my usual spot up near the playground, with plenty of well priced gifts for your family and friends.

I now have wheat bags for your those tired aching muscles- modern AND pretty, and I have some beautiful cushions in Amy Butler and Joel Dewberry fabrics.

50cm x 50xcm scatter cushions, 45cm x 30cm lumbar cushions, and 65cm x 30cm occassional cushions - all filled with luxurious feathers! Soft and downy, very very comfortable.

Come and say hi! I'd love to see you there.

Enjoy these lazy days of Summer!

Cheers,

Lynneke

Hey there friends!

Spring has certainly sprung, and the scent of Summer is in the air.

The gardens are green and the sky blue....and we have a few extra hours in the day.

I have a new range of cushions now available, and my tote bags are out there too!

In line with my new products I am launching my website by the end of October. Just in time for Christmas. And the year went where I ask?

If you'd like to purchase anything from me before my website is launched, http://www.handmadebylynneke.com,

please follow the email link on this blog. Alternately if you have any problems with my website feel free to let me know too!

Have a great day.

Enjoy.

Hi everyone,

Today I visited a lovely shop.

mac pelican is it's name, you'll find it at 842 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn.

Amber has some beautiful things in her store, most of which are locally made, or at least Australian made....including a few of my doorstops! Thank you Amber. If you're in the area pay a visit to her delightful store.

I also have a new product coming up for this spring....a couple of tote bags. Most of them are denim, but when you look at the inside, there's a hidden surprise. A burst of quirky colour!

Will update again sooner than later.

Cheers,

Lynneke.

I'm in trouble! Apparently it's been a long time since I updated my blog.Sorry Sarah. O.K. Update....let's see what's been going on?

To be honest, not much. Market season is over till October, the last market I was at was in April. Surprisingly, it only drizzled in the morning and the market was a success. Maybe because my products are still affordable, even when people have to tighten their belts!

Now it's time to work on next season. For Spring I'm going to start to include scatter cushions and floor cushions in my range. The shoot I made things for, for Real Living magazine (see pic above) inspired me. Cushions are FUN!!!!

I'm also going to make slingbags for the 'tweens' that are still a bit too small for my standard slings.

There is also a small pouch purse in the pipeline...a little bit dressier....ssshhh! It's a surprise.

Now market is over for a bit I promise I will work on my website...promise. It's time.

Another thing I did was a 'party plan'. Now this was something different for me, Jane bought one of my bags from the markets and had so many comments on it when she dropped the kids off at school, she had the smart idea to call me and ask if I'd do a party with my bags...very clever lady!

Speaking of clever, my friend Michael has created a fantastic screen print for peoples wall's. If you live Bayside, go to "Gypsies" in Beaumaris to have a close up look....it is STUNNING! It is a take on the old bus sides they used to have. He is a very very clever man. Michael is more than happy to customize one for you too! You name the destinations. He's making a Northern Beaches one for me at the moment (my old stomping ground in Sydney), but with a blue background. The best thing....they really are well priced for the work that goes into them! Have a look at his blog! johnsonwatersdesign.blogspot.com

Enough blurb from me. I promise it won't be so long next time.

Cheers, 

XLynneke.

  

Hi ya,

It's been a while since my last post, I do apologise, and it's for no specific reason either. The surf hasn't been that fantastic, christmas has been and gone.....I'm just going to blame it on the heat!

Thanks to those of you who trekked up to Red Hill on the weekend, I hope you love your purchases, and to those that didn't make it...I totally understand.

By the time we packed up, and we did that early, it had reached 42 degrees. As for the gusts of wind making the umbrella's fly...mother nature weilds her wrath!

I digress.

The pic above is a fabric that arrived a few weeks ago. To me it says "very pretty summer". I love it. It has a baby blue cousin too, and it too is very pretty. It has a calming effect. I'm going to do some little scatter cushions in it too....

My next post will feature my beanbags, as I have promised a friend of mine to put some pics up. And someday, I will find a way to do a slide show of all my fabrics and products available. This technology stuff is all trial and error with me....sorry.

Enjoy your day as best you can,

XLynneke
