Glebe Markets here I come...

Well I have a stall booked at Glebe Markets for the 4th of July! We drove up to Sydney early yesterday morning to book and prepay a stall, and that was the only date that wasn't sold out, so in almost a month, I'll be selling my wares in Glebe... which is kind of funny, because when I moved to Sydney from the country as an 18 year old, Glebe Markets was like such a big deal... I remember the first time my friend Monica took me there, and it was so, so cool. All the colours, the people, the clothes, the food... I felt like I finally understood where I wanted to be, and I used to go there every Saturday on my own on the way up to Mike's house. I soon ended up with an oversupply of very cheap second hand clothes with funny names and logos, and unique, handmade jewelry... and a taste for the potato salad from the salad stall... that was 10 years ago!

I also managed to get some nice Japanese paper that doesn't involve flowers, pink or other extreme girly-ness... I need some for the boy bug labels, and it's taken quite a great deal of hunting. I'm really happy with it!

Plus, Joe's brother has been staying with us this weekend and I have managed to recruit him for The Toy Society, he really likes it and he's going to involve his kids in the whole process, which I think is so exciting, I would have loved it when I was little!

Check out my raspberry flavoured biscuits... they kind of look funny, but they are delicious, and they're just a standard biscuit mix with a few mashed frozen raspberries... easy!

Whole new batch of cats and bunnies coming along!

And my bug hairstyling techniques are getting better!

Excited about the markets!!!
Plus, I reduced the price of some of the older stock bugs in the Big Cartel Shop, so check it out if you're interested!

Goodnight!

Hey Rebecca - I've just checked out your shop and I'm beside myself with excitement. You named a bug after my suggestion and therefore after my little Noo Nah! Thank you, you've made my weekend!! :)

Your bugs are very very cute, and completely unique. I'm sure you'll sell well at Glebe markets. I was just talking to my husband about setting up a stall there myself so I'll be very interested to hear how you do. I might pop down on the 4th and say "hi".

Everything looks fabulous! I'm hoping to do some Toy Society sewing this summer. Your email still keeps bouncing back to me - it says there is some problem with your address. I tried using my other email account, so we'll see if that works! I can get your emails, I just can't reply!
