Finders Keepers Markets

On the 3rd of December, I travelled out to Eveleigh to have a peek at the bi-annual Finders Keepers Market. This is an Australian art and design market which hosts some of the most famous indie design brands of Australia, such as Frankie Magazine, Able & Game and The Design Kids.

Some style stalking outside,

The place was brimming with unique, drool-worthy products of the highest quality and most creative design. It was truly amazing!! To me, it was like walking into a giant lolly shop!

Beautiful bowties and neckties from Marcello Neckwear,

Cute bits at Leeloo,

Molly-Made: a very cute stall selling nautical-style collars and circle skirts,

I bought a lovely wooden cup from Attia to hold my make up brushes. I should've bought about five... they're so handy! You could fill them with pens and pencils, paintbrushes or make up brushes!

I also bought this lovely cowhide cuff (which I pretty much haven't taken off since I bought it) from Mr & Mrs White, a lovely stall featuring beautiful furniture, homewares and accessories.

I also got to meet Emily Green, the creative mind behind these amazing necklaces and brooches. Some other favourites of mine were the La-Rara calendars, the Able & Game cards and the A L A S designer sleepwear. They make pyjamas so pretty that I would seriously wear them out of the house!! Definitely on my wishlist!

I thoroughly enjoyed my adventure to the Finders Keepers Markets, and I'm definitely going back next time it's on! I highly recommend you come along too!! 

Have a lovely New Year friends, and I'll see you in 2012!

And to all a good night

Merry Christmas friends!
I hope your day was filled with fun, food, family, and special gifts.
Christmas is a great time of year to celebrate everything that has been given to us, and to celebrate the birth of Jesus!

This is just a quick Christmas post to wish you all a nice end to the year and a great start to the next one. Why not make this your best year yet?

Can't wait to see what exciting things happen next year!

I'm very tired and very full after spending the weekend with 3 grandparents, 3 sets of cousins and 3 Christmas feasts!! So now off to bed for a big sleep in :)

So on that note, from Jolly Miss Molly,

Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Christmas Decorating

Hello friends! Isn't the month of December hectic? School is finished, and the madness of a rapidly approaching Christmas is well upon us!

So I thought that since it's only 9 days until present time, I should probably hurry up and decorate my room already!

We spent a couple of hours decorating the tree last week, and this afternoon I got out my little treasure box of all things green and red.

little wooden drummer boy from Bangalow, button softie, red and green fabric finds from op shops.

I'm very happy with myself because I went and did my Christmas shopping yesterday, so now I can cross that off my mammoth to do list.

I hope you have some nice plans for Christmas. We sometimes get so caught up in trying to make the day perfect, that we forget to enjoy ourselves! It's quite silly really!

So if you're normally a bit disorganised around Christmas time (which I tend to be most years), I wish you luck as you venture out into the crowded malls and shopping centres this week!

Have an absolutely lovely Christmas and New Year, and remember to relax.

Stomach Rumble

I felt like a treat this morning. I decided to have a piece of chocolate, almond and raspberry cake with some strawberry coulis.

I have to tell you, this is a seriously delicious cake. You should bake one for yourself and see. 

The extreme deliciousness of the cake inspired me to create this list. It's a list of ten foods that make my stomach rumble. They're not necessarily my favourite foods, but if I was stuck on a deserted island for a month with only ten different foods, these would probably be the ones I'd pick.

They're the sort of food that I'd eat in a furious, messy frenzy;

 and then lick the plate afterwards.

What makes your stomach rumble?

Writing this post has made me hungry again. I'm off to get some food.
