Next market for Sweet William below - MAD.

The other day I met my friend in the city and we went to see the wonderful work of Marise Mass at Flinders Lane Gallery. I was very inspired by the bold, simple, colourful pieces depicting everyday things. On the way to the gallery we walked passed Hosier Lane and had a look at the work by the amazing street artist Lucas Grogan who was commissioned to do this beautiful piece by Movida. This too was hugely inspiring as well as all the other street art in the lane. Wow so many hugely creative talented people out there! Back in my studio I had to get things together for all the upcoming markets Sweet William will be doing leading up to Christmas. I had fun with some chalk board pens and hot pink fluro card! The next market for Sweet William is the Melbourne Art and Design Fair (MAD) Pop Up Market on Sat, the 5th of Nov at 118 High St Prahran. Should be good!

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!
