I love Craft 2.0!

By Anonymous -




Hello all, Paula is moving house and the poor thing is swamped so she gave me a gentle nudge about the blog since its been a while since I did a post. "But never fear", I said - "I do have something to post about - its the wonderful, fabulous Craft 2.0 craft market I just had a stall at on the weekend". And it was fab... I love it because the crowd is great, I love it because the crafters are even better. I have the best time saying hello to other makers, some old crafty friends, and some new. I wish I could just spend all day schmoozing from stall to stall and hang out with all these talented makers.

The venue is also amazing - The New Dowse is such a lovely gallery. So apart from being surrounded by amazing goods, one can also take a browse through an ever changing array of exhibitions - I mean the place is oozing with inspiration.


So I did do some shopping:

A beautiful new bag from the ever supportive and enthusiastic Emma.

This gorgeous headband from Mellisa at TinyHappy., who also has one of our prints. (I took these two images off her blog as she did such a great job with the photo's)

A lovely print from Dearcolleen for a certain person who will get a housewarming gift.

Hope you all had a fun weekend.
x Shelley

Hi ladies! Just discovered your blog via dearcolleen. Love your work! I am a Kiwi (currently in the USA but returning to live in Auckland in a few months), and I'm so excited to see all the craft-related stuff that's going on in NZ. I look forward to seeing more from you!

Hi Shelley

I attended on Saturday and bought the cute "lovebirds" print from your stall. I also bought the same print as you from Dear Colleen.I am sure your certain someone will love that print lol.

I love stopping by your stall and the last few times have bought a few prints from your stall. I am starting to build a small collection.

My Home in the October Country Style magazine!

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
