In a shop and some new creations

I've been back at Making Spaces Marketplace again this week.

Some of my fellow market space holders were the delightful Danette from Sami Bop -

Mary from Orange Who -

Christine from Christine's Millinery -

While I was there one day some gorgeous soaps from Inner Earth Soap arrived -

The shop is looking amazing!
If you are in the Parramatta area you really should pop in and have a look.

I have also got my creating mojo back -

I have been noticing that my big chunky necklaces don't seem as popular at the moment.
Is it the season or the economy or just the fashion?
I'm not sure but I have loads of chunky beads, so I decided to design some long necklaces with chain and a few stone beads.
And some shorter ones which have a more dainty vibe -

What do you think?
Do you wear necklaces in the winter? If so what style do you tend to go for?

A new (ad)venture

This week two of my crafty buddies opened a new shop!

It's in Parramatta in western Sydney and is part of the Pop-up Parramatta initiative to revitalise the city centre.

They have filled it with lots of handmade goodies from near and far.

It looks great! - so inviting.
