this week's finds & happenings

my week began with a long awaited trip to Ikea with my "fav
Ikea shopping buddy" to check out this year's Chrissy dec's.
you might have seen one of these crochet stars in my previous post.

these cute crowns are very "Rachel Ashwell" don't you think?
so pretty popped on a table, hung on the tree, or atop a bottle of wine.

i love a bit of paisley, so had to grab a packet of these glittery dec's.
each year, i like to hang a little Chrissy decoration off my wrapped pressies.
i might use these this year.

here they sit in my newest milk glass find.
in a couple of weeks it will be time to get the house looking festive!

yesterday i did my first craft and arts market stall.
my tea cup candles were very popular!

my friend Bek is a talented sewer, and had a stall full of beautiful
children's clothes.

it was then home to get the house ship shape for a bit of a dinner party.

i'm kicking myself for not getting some pics with the guests!
we had a ball and sat outside all evening. the weather was lovely.

a market find from this morning.
a huge tray marked on the back 'made in India'.

i'm thinking it will end up in the middle of my coffee table stacked with candles.

after a couple of 4:30am morning starts, i'm
thinking a nanna nap is in order for this afternoon!
enjoy doing whatever it is you love this Sunday :)

market stall

hi! hope the weekend is proving to be a great one for you all!

next Saturday a friend and i will be doing a market stall together.
i have spent hours making teacup candles.
(the one above is a favourite :)

27 to be exact!
i always keep my eyes open for pretty teacups, jugs and
any other little containers that would make the perfect candle.

i've also been madly painting up blackboards to sell as well.
the glass jar you can see to the right is full of chalk filled organza bags.

sweet matchboxes that will compliment a pretty candle
and look lovely on display.

vintage suitcase full of raggy wreaths.
just in time for Christmas, or can be hung all year round.

i snapped this pic of my 'first to flower' agapanthus
when i got home from the markets this morning.

we will be at the Samford St Pauls Anglican Church
12th November 7-12pm for those who might like to pop in.

markets & mini makeovers

Em and i decided we would do our own market stall today. we were up at 5am and out the door not long after that!
we didn't have much to sell, and alot had already sold when Steph took this pic, but we had fun anyway. Em was keen to make some pocket money, and i was happy to have a bit of a clear out.
(oh, and that's my friend Ange to the right grabbing some bargains!)

i found this ikea lamp and only paid a few dollars for it.
i knew exactly what i would do to make it over.
before....

i have been on the lookout for a glass cloche, and look what i found today!
also a lovely rosey dish and another milk glass vase.
cloche before....

these finds got me all inspired to pull out a few Easter decorations.
i've had the bunny egg cups for a while now.

and after!!
a bit of white paint and some cotton lace, my lamp is looking great!

the cloche got some white paint on it's base and it perfect for holding some pretty Easter eggs.

i have hit and gone over the magic 'giveaway' number of 100 followers!
hooray!!!!
thankyou to you all :)
come back tomorrow, i will have something lovely to giveaway......
