I'm on holidays. I'm free for a few weeks.

Thrill of the post...

I got such a buzz when I got home last night. The lovely Kimono Reincarnate alerted me to the fact one of my purses had been featured in the weekly MadeIt Monday New Finds newsletter.

Does this distinguish a hobbyist from a professional crafter? I still get such a thrill when someone buys something from my Etsy or Made-It shops .. and to be featured in a newsletter is such a 'name-up-in-lights-moment' and I suppose a validation, of sorts.

I also got a giggle - the doll next to my shelleyberelli purse could be me!

Market wrap up..

Last night was another perfect night in at King George Square for the BrisStyle indie Twilight Markets.

The weather behaved and so many smart shoppers were out, getting a head start on the Christmas lists. It's always so lovely to see the the many BrisStyle friends visit us, time and time again. And to catch up with BrisStylettes between sales.

Last night I sold both of the items I'd donated to the BrisStyle Chicks in Pink  national breast cancer awareness month fund raising effort. I'm donating the total proceeds from the sales to Chicks in Pink. Two generous shoppers walked away with these shelleyberelli goodies.

I shared my stall with the lovely Moose & Bird: 

The shelleyberelli market totes were a hit, as were my zippered purses. I'm going to get to work between now and my next market (BiDM - Racecourse Rd, 10 December) on more totes and some new ipad cases. 

See you in December!

Four sleeps to go...

I'm getting quiet excited - we're nearing the pointy end of the year and market season is looming. I've got my next markets at King George Square on Friday night with the BrisStyle indie Twilight Markets.

I've been sewing calico totes and designing some new purses that are looking like they're going to be upsized to ipad sleeves. What do you think?
