First Time At Fox Markets

My first time at Fox Studios was a lovely sunny day with a great space to set up in. I'm finding each market a different experience with the best product sales of the day being different every time. Cushions and dolls have always been popular, but selling my first lampshade was definitely a thrill - beautiful japanese print of french style Alice in Wonderland, a favourite of mine.

Fox best product of the day was my new range of felt cards with hand stitching details.

Doody St Market, Alexandria

My first time at Doody St was a good learning experience. The weather didn't bring too many people out, but i met a lot of lovely stall holders who had great advice for me. Lots of interest and more names for my mailing list.


Apologies to anyone who feels they have been left off the mailing list, there were a couple of email addresses that were a little difficult to read and didn't make it through, sorry.

Vintage Find in Binda

On a relaxing weekend in the country i found a hidden treasure at a garage sale in Binda, which is near Crookwell, which is half an hour from Goulburn NSW. Great cotton Bias Binding from the 60's, 70's and 80's if i had to guess. Made in Australia too! Can't wait to use these, probably on lampshades.

Fell in love with the cotton Ric Rac too, made in Japan and was labelled at the bargain price of 12cents. Originally bought at Downes Department store.
Most of it was still in it's original wrapping!

Mathilda's Market a Success

Sunday 5th July at Mathilda's Market in Lane Cove was a great first market experience. It was very reassuring to have some other first timers around me. Once the doors opened it wasn't long before i made my first sale of a Softy Toy Owl and it kept steadily going from there.

The Softy Toys were a big success. I'll definitely need more for next time


The old wooden ladder i found worked out perfectly for displaying the quilts
