What to do for teachers presents?? Glimpse of Christmas

A glimpse of Christmas.9 Days to go!!!

It is the last day of School tomorrow and I wanted to give the teachers something a little special and of course handmade....because handmade Rocks!!

So I made a couple of little Christmas Stockings in lots of gorgeous Christmas fabrics. I even made a little Fabric Tag to write on. I was so pleased with how they turned out.

Oh and they are getting filled with chockies...mmmmmm

Christmas countdown - Our Christmas Lights.

Ok, so they are not actually our lights but how cool is this!

Glimpse of Christmas - let the countdown begin

For the next 10 days on the countdown to christmas I am going to post a picture of

Christmas in our Home or around our Town

On our Table - Christmas baubles and ornaments. In the background is our beautifully decorated, colourful tree.

I would love to see a Glimpse of Christmas in your home!

Meet Some Dusters

I belong to a team of Australian Etsy sellers called D.U.S.T (down under street team). Usually we just chat online, but today some of us got to meet each other face to face at the Denmark River Market day. It was a hot day but we had a lovely river behind us and beautiful big shady trees.

This was my first time doing a market on my own (previously I have shared a table with Samara aka Maddabling ) ...so here are some photos of how it looked.

The kids were entertained!

What a generous Gal is Lisa xo

I entered into Lisa's blog giveaway last month over at Lil Sonny Sky and was lucky enough to be one of her winners. Well today whilst in my pre-market flurry the postman knocked on the door with a parcel from the UK. It was from Lisa, and boy oh boy has she spoilt me. I never cease to be amazed at the generousity of some people - Lisa I am sending you lots of virtual hugs!!! Thankyou so much.

The package was so beautifully wrapped in ribbon with a handmade cards which reads

"Open me up, quickly....come on, hurry up!! xxx"

So I got into a panic and tried to get the ribbon off quickly...he he he he...

There were so many lovely items inside made by this very talented girl. I have been spoilt with screen printed christmas cards, gift tags,

Little Red

Two of her original screen prints which are just so adorable - They will be getting framed!!

I love the labelling on the tags

"very posh"

Lisa has lots of these goodies in her etsy store LISASTUBBS, so pop on over and take a look. They are all truly amazing. I can not thankyou enough lisa.

Market Countdown....

I am now getting serious with my market preparation...well I kind of have to as there are only 5 days to go.. I got quite a bit done today - display boards, signs, table set up. I just have to price all of my bangles

This is the board I did up for my "little Alice collection"

So if you are in the area, I would love to see you at the Denmark River Markets , Saturday Dec 12th, 10am - 4pm.

Is it really December already?

I can't believe it! The year has gone so fast, and this month is packed with end of year things to do. I am off on a school camp tomorrow, roughing it for a few days. Then I will be knuckling down and getting all the last minute preparation done for my first "solo" market.

You can find me at the

DENMARK RIVER MARKETS - SAT DEC 12TH

This is one of cutest tupperware items I have, and he only gets to come out of the cupboard for one month of the year - although I must confess he has been known to stick around for january too :0)... On the reverse side of the canisters is a snowman - but I like the cheery santa side the best.
