to market to market to sell a fat goat…….home again home again I sold tonnes of stuff!
I shouldn’t refer to Knuffle as fat I know and if I’m gonna rhyme it should at least…. well rhyme.
Oh well not to worry.
Ahhrr the month of markets has begun here in the world of kk and it started off with a bang.
It was Saturday and it was hot….. and the crowd was out at Sisters market in Brunswick.
Let me just say I had primo position right outside the front door, no one could resist a little peak at the frocks hanging at eye height as they passed by into the big old building that is the Brunswick Town Hall. I must admit that when I first found out I was outside and it was going to be over 30 degrees, I did have a little bit of a wig out. Those who know me, know all about my crazy fare skin – it burns at the thought of the sun and if my head gets hot I turn into a tomato and my ability to speak or think is nil (it’s an unfortunate Tasmanian gene, that I was hoping after living in Melbourne for ten years, it might subside just a little – but alas it is how I was made). Luckily I was greeted with the big ol’ edifice of a building with shady cool solid walls that I leant against all day. They just don’t build them like they use to.
So a big thanks goes out to the lovely sisters Roberta and Marianna for giving me such an ace spot on my first market with them – they inform me that they will be venturing out to St Kilda in the New Year. Sounds like a good plan ladies.
Any hoo enough of my dribble about being hot (I can see my long suffering husband rolling his eyes at me, cause I’m “going” on about being hot. We honeymooned in Vietnam… but that’s a whole other story.)
new bag's for markets
Back to the market…..I got to see a bunch of stall holders that I’m getting to know from the “market/trade show scene” which was great. I love the fact that I can make a bit of extra pocket money while catching up with friends without having little cling-on’s attached. Some of the familiar faces where Keiki Designs – with their cute little frocks/bloomers in ace fabric, Wendy June – who just makes me want to pick up some pencils and draw, love her stuff, Rileah Designs – my present cupboard is full of her hair accessories and Little Bubble and Tree – we seem to follow each other around the markets – love that fabric girl.
Some new friends I made are; Chuckles – damn cute sock monkeys, I couldn’t resist the red and white striped pirate one for Ruby, she’s gonna love it to death. Another amazing stall was Angus and Celeste – truly talented jewelry designers I’m kicking myself that I didn’t buy anything…next time for sure. Tinker had some damn cute stuff also – I have a bit of a thing about birds at the moment…so do they!
Next market to catch me at is the Maribyrnong Makers Market this Saturday 14th Gamon Street Seddon – if you’re in the area drop in, it will be big, lots of stalls in two venues and a little festival in the park.
