Great News from Craft2.0


The news has come in that the last fair was amongst the best ever! This is great news for lots of sellers and a fantastic heads up to New Zealand folk about the potential for buying handmade in the run up to Christmas.

Having such a strong focus on the handmade movement is tremendously positive, and, with the media focus on handmade in the run up to October's Craft2.0 everyone's eyes are now opening to the possibilities of buying quality handmade for Christmas.

Check out the Craft2.0 blog for updates and information here.  Sadly, I will be overseas while the fair is on (it's the start of a series of trips over the next few months!) but I know it will be the next best fair ever.  The easiest way to keep in touch is to add the Craft2.0 bog to your RSS feed!  Go do it - right now!!

Wrong Again! Being Happy with Small Things!

After a not successful fair, I find myself wrong again!  Why wrong,???? Well, after being down in the dumps, I found two lovely things that are just so cool I have to share.

1) I'm addicted to hair clips!!! Sad but true, but since I found a cute hair clip from Silver Circus in my Friends of Craft2.0 goody bag on Saturday I have worn it everywhere to great acclaim!!

2) I also got a little badge (button) in my gift bag from Supervery.  It has Betty Boop on it and, what I am working on making at the moment? You guessed it - a Betty Boop doll!!!   It is a vintage pattern and, as such a little difference to your average pattern but I cannot believe the co-incidence - this is FATE!!

AAAND to my two lovely treasures to start off my week and kick me out of the doldrums...... my wonderful boxes arrived from Notable Notions in the USA.  They take a while to get here to New Zealand but are SO worth the wait.  Their Etsy store is at the link above and they supply a range of perfectly sized boxes at modest prices that have few equals.

Happy Happy Day!!!!!!


Voila!! 
How about this Silver and Gold boxes 
for my pendants and my doll pins  
HOW festive is THIS!
