Market time...

Hopefully this post won't come too late for most of you...I've just come back from the shop and have the car packed up all ready for my stall at Mathilda's Market. I'll have lots of good stuff there including some super special offers, so make sure you stop by. I'll be located in the smaller annex room... Don't be a lurker, make sure you introduce yourself if you read the blog, I'd love to meet you.

PS. Poppet in the Post is on reduced inventory levels till Sunday night...

Vintage ABC's...

I love the look of vintage alphabet blocks, and occasionally i find some at op-shops or flea markets. It's even better when you can find enough for a full set so you can leave lovely messages around the place...

But if you don't have any luck at your local car boot sale, you can get your own set on Poppet in the Post...

Better late than never...

Whilst googling 'mypoppet' last night - for research not vanity! I came across these lovely images taken by Little Bird Photography of my stall at Magnolia Square last year. They are really lovely so even though I'm a little bit late (nearly a year), I'd like to say Thanks Pru...
These pics also reminded me that I still have a couple of sets of those colourful Mexican Party flags you can see in the picture. They are not online because I'm yet to work out how to photograph them properly but if you want some just give us a ring.

Lanterns...

Some gorgeous images from the interweb using paper lanterns as a decorative feature. Thought they might give you a little bit of inspiration...I've taken the liberty of putting together some lantern combos on Poppet in the Post. A set of 3 paper lanterns for $19.95

Cinti in Wonderland...

Some of you may have met Diana, she works at the store on the days i don't. One of the best employees a boss lady could ever have, and also she always leaves random choccie goodies laying about. Mostly I can resist, but this time she left me instructions, Alice in Wonderland style. Who am i to argue?
Although Di, are you trying to tell me something with the diet Mint Pattie?

My new crush...

A few weeks ago i visited the stitches and craft show in Melbourne and bought a couple of felting needles. Little did I know then how much they would change my evenings in front of the TV. Mr Cinti thinks I'm addicted, but I'm at best, mildly enamoured. OK, maybe somewhat obsessed! But who cares? I admit it *jumping on the couch Tom Cruise style* I'M IN LOVE WITH NEEDLE FELTING.

I'd never tried it because I thought it would be so complicated, but it's not. It's really easy and fun, so portable and a lovely winter craft to sit under a warm quilt whilst watching telly. Although you need to be careful you don't stab yourself!

I've been making lots of mini things. Here are a couple of animals I've made...I've photographed them in my hand for reference. Am also working on an alphabet for Emma. Am up to N...

You can get needle felting supplies from my friend Shelly at Little Sparrow in Caulfield Nth. Lots of places sell stuff online too. Have a go, i'm sure you'll love it too.

MEGA SALE...

I'm really hoping to clear most of the stock before we close the shop doors at the end of June, so I've got the big red marker out and have gone a bit mad. If you want to grab a bargain now is the time to come in...Sale continues on Poppet in the Post...

Some examples of the great stuff on offer, sizes are limited...

Inside Out, Outside In...

I LOVE reversible garments. These coats just arrived on Friday. Black denim on one side for when you're feeling a little bit Melbourne, and this super fantastic print on the other which reminds me a little of stylised peacock feathers. I'd wear the print side out all the time...

(edit - SIZES 1,2,& 3 Price $135 Mention the blog and you can have them for $99)

Last window...

It's taken me a while to make the big announcement in the window. Was looking for an old fashioned sign writer that paints onto windows. That never eventuated so had to resort to paper, scissors and a glue stick...

May = Market time...

I'm so excited to be invited to participate in another Mathilda's Market. This one is on just down the road from me at Malvern town hall. I could almost walk there if I didn't have to carry a stall full of stuff with me...Pencil it into your diaries (or iPhone, my tech savvy peeps) because there is going to be a whole lot of great stallholders with lovely wares to peddle, and me of course!
