Inez the face of Markit ... well kind of

The designer directory has been published... http://www.markitfedsquare.com.au/Designers_AtoZ.html

Have a look at who is taking part & you can understand why I mildly freaking out now .... 100 designers taking part & this bunny is one of them. Yep the count is on as it is less than a month & reminds me of uni all over again with a looming deadline!

Aside from that if you do have  look at the link you will notice that Inez the parrot is now the "face" of my Markit campaign! If you do want to see her she is residing at Quirk & co. in North Melbourne, she has chosen a perch amongst the jewelery... 

Inez loved a bit of razzle dazzle

New Stockist Gleaners Inc.

I have a new stockist! I dropped off some bunnies & song birds today at Gleaners Inc. It's tucked in just off the main drag of Sydney Road in the former Perucci shirt makers store front - it is an oasis of vintage finds, haven of nanna crafting & handmade goodies. 

Pleatybunny By Miss Foo now at Gleaners Inc.

Run by the very lovely Liz Jones - super friendly and is the clever lady that is behind Betty Jo Designs. Also she's a bit of a truffle-pig of vintage finds... I have to admit I did leave the store today with a  beautiful vintage map book, mmmmm embossed cover... 
Here are some pics of the store & what you will find in there.

To Market to Markit!

I have secured a stall for Markit at Fed Square on Sunday the 27th of May  10am–5pm  The Atrium & BMW Edge Theatre, Federation Square Melbourne. Excited but kind of terrified at the same time as I have never done a market with my work before.

I am in overdrive thinking about what needs to be done & just how I am going to stock the stall & the merchandising is a big priority. I may not be for nearly 2 months but I operate on a high level on neuroses and considering the way this year seems have flown by it will be here before I know it.

I love a good market, especial trash & treasure ones, having a sticky beak at the detritus of peoples lives, it satisfies the voyeur in me. Also the promise of a bargain, the thrill of finding a must have item... one you probably don't really need but then again maybe you just didn't really know you needed it until you actually laid eyes on it? 
Now you have bought said item, you now wonder how you are going to 
A. carry it around the market 
B. fit said item in your car & get it home... 
am I the only one that has this problem? I have a tendency to overestimate the holding capacity of my car. I am still in denial that my current car does not have the sheer Tardis like qualities of my old faithful Starlet which once managed to get 2 of us plus what was equal to 2 carloads of stuff, fresh baked muffins & a thermos of tea to the Camberwell market.

 

The Tardis (yes I am a geek) & Piglet my old car ...

Anyway I managed to find some goods that i can give an overhaul too to use for my stand. the next 2 months for me will be filled with cutting, folding, gluing, sanding & painting! YAY! 

Stay tuned for more pre-MARKIT preparation chaos which is likely to ensue....
