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,
