<br />
When Mr planet retired 18 months ago and we moved and travelled and lived in a caravan for a year, I thought that I would eventually start going to markets again.....but this is just not going to happen.<br />
I still love designing and making jewellery (and other things) and I adore my beads, but the will to get out there and do the hard hard yards has just gone.<br />
Before we moved I had some really successful outlets - The Nook Leura (a co-operative I was a member of), markets and festivals in the Blue Mountains, Sydney and other parts of New South Wales, plus a few other outlets.<br />
I had an etsy shop which, to be honest was never really worth the time I put into it - selling on a big on-line platform is hard.<br />
<br />
But, I have a huge amount of stock!<br />
Silly me.<br />
<br />
I am having a sale on over on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/planettreasures?ref=hdr_shop_menu">etsy </a>- 50% off.<br />
<br />
I will also be destashing my supplies as I get time to list them.<br />
<br />
I hope this will give me the time and inspiration to explore some other areas of my creativity as I have always been a bit of a dabbler, but trying to make and sell stuff kind of gets in the way!<br />
<br />
If you would like to get some real bargains head on over to my<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/planettreasures?ref=hdr_shop_menu"> etsy shop</a> and use the code CLOSINGDOWN at checkout.<br />

The day we went it was very, very hot.<br />
Which was sad for the stallholders.<br />
Hot for them setting up and also it probably kept shoppers away.<br />
<br />
The market is held in a lovely shady spot in the grounds of the winery, so it could have been worse.<br />
<br />
But it is a fabulously curated little market.<br />
There is a wonderful selection of creative goodies and original art works, plus some yummy food.<br />

I also met this very talented jewellery maker - Susan Arranghi.<br />
She does gorgeous beadwork as well as really imaginative things with polymer clay.<br />

It was a great opportunity to pick up some totally fabulous Christmas presents.<br />
Plus presents just for us!<br />
We got a ceramic bell from this lovely lady.<br />
She also had some candles in tea bowls and beakers which you could use after the candle has spluttered its last.<br />

On top of the 40 or so makers stalls, there are food stalls, entertainment and a bar!<br />
They even run crafty workshops as well. <br />
What's not to like?<br />
There is something for everyone here.<br />
<br />
The next Wild Rumpus Makers Market seems to be on Sunday 21st June, from 12 noon to 4 pm, so you'll have to be patient until then.<br />

It was quite windy on the day we visited, so not too pleasant outside. But it was warm and sunny.<br />
<br />
It is a smashing little market and well done to whoever is running it. It seems very well-organised and if I lived closer I'd be there every week I'm sure.<br />
<br />
But if you want a day out from the big smoke, take a drive down to Bulli, turn into the showground and stock up.<br />
then you can have a nice swim at Thirroul or any of the Illawarra beaches - you can't go wrong.<br />
<br />
Yes, we did go to another market, but you will have to wait for a separate post to find out!planettreasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08199835812743673645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176842842877202106.post-33407145364468594712014-10-19T16:30:00.001+11:002014-10-19T16:31:25.762+11:00A Tale of Two Markets - out and aboutAlthough they are only about half an hours drive apart and therefore neighbours, these two markets couldn't be more different!<br />
<br />
First stop Gladstone, NSW.<br />
A charming little village on the way to South West Rocks and on the banks of the Macleay River.<br />
<br />
Here we found local spinners and weavers - <br />

Couldn't resist the mango and chilli chutney and the cranberry and pear chutney.<br />
They also sell boutique cheeses from the Hunter Valley.<br />

The market is in a very pretty park next to the river.<br />
It had a great vibe.<br />
There was music and produce and sourdough bread (sold out by the time we got there), a selection of nice handmade gift items, organic dry goods, fruit and nuts,<br />

Then it was off to our "local" market at Crescent Head.<br />
A very beachy sort of market, with beachy clothing, second hand books, mostly commercial items.<br />
There was local honey and we bought some locally grown and dried bananas which are like lollies only healthy! <br />

It all happens at the park between the caravan park and the beach - a top spot, though it could be very windy at times.<br />
<br />
It's shame that these 2 markets are on the same day as I wonder if the Crescent Head on would benefit from some of the stalls that are at Gladstone.<br />
<br />
Anyway, it was a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning and I'm sure we'll be back.planettreasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08199835812743673645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176842842877202106.post-77094201307869760402014-05-25T23:02:00.001+10:002014-05-25T23:02:42.380+10:00Out and About - Bright market.<br />

<br />
(Although my stock will still be there until we can go and pick it up on Sunday)<br />
<br />
Being a member of The Nook was one of the best things I ever did for my jewellery business.<br />
Being a co-operative we shared the costs and the tasks of running a retail business.<br />
<br />
We take it in turns to man or woman the shop, so that we only need to be there one or two days a month.<br />
<br />
The shop is in a great location - if you're not familiar with Leura, it is the best shopping village in the scenic Blue Mountains.<br />
<br />
There were about 25 members when I first joined over 16 years ago, there are more than 35 now! <br />

So farewell to The Nook and to all members past and present who have contributed to its success.<br />
I have made such fabulous friends there.<br />
It's been a blast.<br />
<br />
PS. I forgot to say that the reason I have left is that we are leaving the beautiful Blue Mountains, for a travelling/retirement lifestyle! <br />

<br />
This week was crazy-mad for me getting ready for a garage sale as we try and clear the decks of our life.<br />
Some days I couldn't even think about taking any photos at all!<br />

How was your week?<br />
Did you find something/someone to love?<br />
<br />
Try and take time next week to enjoy, really appreciate something every day.planettreasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08199835812743673645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176842842877202106.post-89892691960044582842014-04-08T09:00:00.000+10:002014-04-08T09:00:04.907+10:00To have a sale....or not?What are your thoughts on having a sale? Or discounting your wares?<br />
What do you do with items that have been around for a while and haven't sold?<br />
<br />
It's a vexed question?<br />Are you devaluing all your hard work?<br />If you often have a sale, do your customers wait for you to reduce your prices - does it discourage them from buying at full price?<br />
<br />

<br />
At the weekend I was at a big country market that happens twice a year and as we will be moving soon I decided to see if I could sell more of my stock (so that I don;t have to pack it).<br />
I offered 25% off all my jewellery, that wasn't already discounted.<br />
<br />
I made a couple of sign, maybe they could have been bigger...<br />
I also mentioned my discount to customers (or potential customers!)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Did it work?<br />
I don't think so, for these reasons.<br />
<br />
1. People seemed to buy what they wanted to anyway. If they like it - they will buy it.<br />2. Mentioning that I was having a sale and why didn't seem to spur people into a shopping frenzy.<br />
3. When I didn't mention the sale they still purchased an item.<br />
4. They sometimes seemed surprised that they were getting a cheaper price. <br />
<br />
I think a couple of customers perhaps bought another item or two, but it's hard to know as they may still have done that.<br />
<br />
Overall the day wasn't bad but I can't help thinking that I did myself out of a quarter of my takings by having this sale.<br />
<br />

No, not the lick and stick for snail mail kind!<br />
The inky rubbery kind!<br />
Have you tried making your own stamps?<br />
<br />
I thought it would be fun to try when I saw someone offering a stamp carving workshop, unfortunately I can't get to the workshop (it's too far away) but I wondered how hard it would be to do it yourself.<br />

You can find out how on <a href="http://crafts.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-carve-your-own-beautiful-stamps--craft-3184">this tutorial by Lisa Tulse</a>.<br />
<br />
It looks easy enough - you just need the right tools.<br />
You can make small stamps from good quality erasers and you need something like a craft knife or lino cutting tool to cut the design.<br />
<br />

Some little thing that pleases me, that makes me think "ah, life is good"<br />
<br />
This week I bought a big bunch of basil to make some pesto to make<a href="http://peegaw.tumblr.com/post/12108631050/making-roasted-tomato-soup-with-mozarella-pesto-wonton"> this recipe</a>.<br />
Mmmmmm, I love the smell of fresh basil.<br />
I have got some in a pot but it wasn't enough to make pesto....just enough to inhale every now and then.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/1969161_759186147426850_1936808578_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/1969161_759186147426850_1936808578_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Who has a love-hate relationship with shopping?<br />
I do!<br />
And dragging an enormous trolley around Costco it one of the hates....but there are several things I love.<br />
Their organic cheese.<br />
The smoked salmon.<br />
Bagels.<br />
And looking around the "others" section.<br />
This week they has showers all sorts of home reno stuff including the kitchen sink!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/10151824_759620734050058_105308625_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/10151824_759620734050058_105308625_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I have been trying to do the fast diet or the 5:2 diet,<br />
Some days it is hard.....but I love that dinner tastes so much more intense, more fabulous on a fast day.<br />
This was (spicy) masala prawns on a bed of baby spincah.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/t1.0-9/1013865_759656750713123_715270001_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/t1.0-9/1013865_759656750713123_715270001_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Mr planet and I have a caravan.<br />
We also have some old and grotty plastic cups that we have used for camping for the last 10 years or so.<br />
Time for some new fabulous mugs I thought! Right?<br />
Wrong?<br />
Cannot find melamine mugs or plastic mugs anywhere.<br />
All the usual suspects - Target, $2 shops, camping shops - zilch!<br />
But I did find these spiffy melamine latte cups in the Leura Whisk, kitchenware shop in Leura.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/10151776_760075180671280_1851431401_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/10151776_760075180671280_1851431401_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So the sorting out continues, the decluttering, the moving around of stuff from one spot to another.<br />
This week I tacked my sewing basket and found some forgotten treasures in the depths.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/1383678_760535797291885_287646078_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/1383678_760535797291885_287646078_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Yep, I was back at Henri Marc again.<br />
What can I say? I just love that place.<br />
Plus they have a great spoon collection.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-9/1606834_760867643925367_1931459169_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-9/1606834_760867643925367_1931459169_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And another foodie love.<br />
Tofu burgers.<br />
Yep, tasteless, bland old tofu mixed with walnuts, onions,carrots and various other tasty morsels makes yummy burgers that anyone would love.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-9/10154948_760983990580399_776800518_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-9/10154948_760983990580399_776800518_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

No, I really do.<br />
You see I'm decluttering - BIG TIME! and I just pulled out my old sewing basket - a yellow plastic thing a bit like this<br />
<br />

<br />
But a cheaper version, that I think I got for free with a sewing machine over 20 years ago....or more.<br />
<br />
Its lid had broken off.<br />
And it was dusty and smelly.<br />
So I threw it out.<br />
Maybe I regret that now.....maybe it could have been saved? Reborn somehow?<br />
<br />
Too bad.<br />
It's gone.<br />
<br />
So I started looking for a new one....first of all on etsy.<br />

I'll have to go and have a look.<br />
<br />
Or I could just use an old shoe box?<br />

Have you got a swing box or basket?<br />
What do you use?<br />

Nothing too complicated.<br />
A little bit of this and a little bit of that.<br />

Got a pair of jeans that don't fit anymore?<br />
Or a pair that is a bit worn out or daggy?<br />
Look no further! This is what you can do with them - <br />

<br />
There are many on-line tutorials about making jeans bags - or you can probably hoe to work it out yourself.<br />
There's one is <a href="http://craftbits.com/project/blue-jeans-denim-bootie-bag-purse/">here on craftbits</a>. That one actually glues the bottom shut! But I'd prefer to stitch it closed and some use ribbon or even a tie for handles - I like that you use another part of the jeans for a strap.<br />
<br />
How about making your own pj pants or sleep pants?<br />

Pjs don't have to be perfectly constructed, they just need to be comfortable.<br />
I like that these have got a contrast trim at the bottom.<br />
<br />
I love lot of little storage bags, but zips and other closures can be fiddly.<br />
This great little tute shows you how to make bags that snap shut.<br />
Shhh, there's a secret to doing that.... <br />

We've been going for a few years and one of the joys of it is that you never know who you might discover.<br />
There are 7 stages, it's not a huge festival, it's easy to get around. So if you are not taken with the act you are watching you move on.......<br />
<br />
There were no really huge big names playing the festival this year but that doens't mean that the quality was any less or that it wasn't fun. Hey! it was heaps of fun!<br />
<br />
We also caught up with a few old favorites - Lior, Eleanor McEvoy, Jeff Lang.....and here are my new finds for this year.<br />
<br />
<b>Flap!</b><br />
Something old but in a new way.<br />
1920s dance meets calypso.<br />
So cute and so fun! <br />

<br />
<br />
<b>The Tiger and Me</b><br />
Another heaps of style, heaps of energy, heaps of fun.<br />
Described in the program as "cabaret/circus/euro indie folk-pop"<br />We were all smitten by the guy up-front who is a dark-haired dead ringer for our son.<br />

<b>Swamp Thing</b><br />
Great energy blues duo.<br />
Great to listen to at 10.30 in the morning - well someone has to do it!<br />
I couldn't find a youtube clip to do them justice, but if you get the chance - check them out if you like raucous blues with grunt.<br />

<b>Ash Grunwald</b><br />
OK, so Ash isn't that new....he si just new to me.<br />
My daughter recommended and we obeyed.<br />
Fabulous high energy and so good to see the new generation of bluesmen coming through.<br />
This is a really cool film clip with surfing as well as singing.<br />
Have a look.<br />

<br />
First stop....coffee and cake! <br />

(There is an older one in Tasmania!)<br />

It is on a (now) little-used road, but it was the main route west from Sydney from 1833 until 1926.<br />
<br />
It is a very fine sandstone arch.<br />
Don't you just love a nice self-supporting arch? <br />

That was just before the thunder and rain.<br />

I remember those!<br />
What a great way to recycle all those old magazines I've got, I thought.<br />
<br />
So I had a look about to see what was going on around the place.<br />
<br />
There are heaps of tutorials and inspiration on the interwebs.<br />
<br />
This is the one that started off my journey, on Instructables.com.<br />
