Beautiful work by Madeleine Stamer

Lovely cards by Sandra of Bluberry Paper

One of the few down sides of working from home is that you do miss out on interacting with colleagues and networking with people in the same profession as you - and so one of the many things I like about doing markets is meeting up with like minded people. I met some really awesome and inspirational people this weekend at Finders Keepers, amongst them were these two lovely ladies who are both wonderful illustrators and run their own creative businesses. Sandra Krummins from Bluberry Paper and Madeleine Stamer of little circus designs. I have been following them both for a while on line and it was nice to put a face to a web address. They were both so supportive and I really appreciated their generosity in sharing some industry knowledge. It would be so lovely to have a freelance illustrators catch up every now and then so that we could all swop notes and help each other out. Ps. here is a great review of the Finders Keepers market over at Design Files - it was brilliant! Lets hope we have many more of those in Melbourne.

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!
