Wishlist Wednesday - 15

Phew! What a weekend it was, with the DUST team Christmas in July sale and promo.

It was so much fun and one of the best parts was looking at some Aussie shops I hadnt noticed before.

So here is a selection of some of my discoveries.

eco tote - blue willow teapot by retrology

it's the little things by DeannaMaree

Happy shopping!
and dont forget my book giveaway below.

Local legend has it that Christmas in July started on one dark cold winter's night in 1980 in a hotel in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales.
A group of Irish friends were toasting their toes in front of a roaring log fire and bemoaning the hot christmases here in Australia.
The enterprising hotelier offered to serve a traditional christmas feast, with all the associated trimmings, and Santa - and the tradition was begun.

Since then the tradition has spread around the world, not just places in the Southern hemisphere.
Any excuse for a celebration!

Using up all those odd beads

This is a great way to use up all those odd beads left over from other projects.
For some reason I have a lot of this bracelet size memory wire, I think I kept forgetting I already had some and then I would go and buy more!
I also have to admit that threading on memory wire is a pain, so I dont do it a lot.

But now I have found a really happy use for it - and I am gradually emptying my orphan beads box. The ones there are only one of.

These bracelets are a mix of gemstones, glass, beads, cloisonne with either silver curved beads or rubber tubing inbetween . The more colourful the better!

These memory wire bracelets have been really popular, as soon as I make them they sell!
