Oh my its been over 2 months since I've looked at this poor little blog. My blogging started to fall to the side in my preps for the fantastic Bristyle market. What an absolutely fantastic experience this was. Being my first market I was very nervous but once I was there it all fell into place. The market was held at the beautiful Hamilton Town Hall on the 13th December 2008. All the stalls looked so fantastic and I even managed to do a little Christmas shopping while Mum minded the stall.
I picked up some fab bags for my little girls from Wheresbeckybean, they are so cute and the girls were very excited to open them up on Christmas morning. They make for a little bit of artwork sitting on their door handles.
I was very lucky to have a stall next to the most lovely Nicole from HotToffee. Nicole was so helpful and her jewlery is amazing. I haven't worn earings for many a year but seeing her beautiful designs makes me want to again. It took such a lot of will power to actually give my niece the earings I brought for her birthday and not keep them for myself.
I was lucky enough to get a great stationary set from Twinkle Star Art. My eldest daughter has had such a fantastic time actually writting letters to all her school friends that she is missing.
Embelish was a HUGE hit with the little girls. The adore the hair clips.
I also was picked up some gems from: Ruby Red Studio, Jellignite, Wicked Child Designs , Scampsville and Made By Miffy.
To celbrate the new year, I thought it was time to do a little referb. I shall be back with more when I can upload som pics of all the fun.

Oooooh, I LOVE the refurb. I've been thinking about doing the same thing...as usual it could take me a while to get to it though :P
I've been meaning to tell you how much of a hit your little pouches were with so many members of my friends and family at the market. It seems between myself, my sister Jade, my mum and my bookclub friends, we must have raided a good portion of your stall :P And we are all SOOOOOO happy with our purchases. The other thing we are ALL in agreement with is that we would all have happily paid much much more for them!!!
Thank-you so much - you really do make gorgeous things. You have a wonderful aestethic, and your stall was just so beautiful. I am keeping all my little brooches in my pouch, and it makes me smile every day when I go to it!
Cheers, Bec X
Oh Bec, you brought a tear to my eye. Thank you so much. Everyone's stalls were so beautiful and all very unique which I think helped to make it all look so great.
I find the whole pricing thing really hard. It is so much out of my relm. I've never worked with money - just people. Its all a learning experience isn't it! Please thank your family and friends for all of their kindness.
