Are you procrastinating? Should you be working right now instead of reading blogs?! I always wonder when people read blogs. I normally blog read after taking care of my emails in the morning, or right after Paige has gone to bed in the evening. Anyway, just wondering…
Busy weekend this weekend; Saturday I’ll be at Glebe Markets and Sunday I’ll be at Dear Pluto’s Summertime Garden Market. And Monday I’ll be relaxing!

This Sunday I’m setting up stall at The Village Markets on QLD’s Gold Coast; I remember visiting TMV way back in 2009 not long after they had just started, small but sweet they were an amazing treasure-trove for vintage (I may have bagged a fair few vintage beauties for my store). When I revisited again last January I was absolutely blown away by how much the girls had grown the markets and how much bigger the treasure-trove had become! So I’m really excited to be holding my own re:new stall there this Sunday. If you haven’t been, you should go. If you need a weekend away, you should come. IAnd if you live on the Gold Coast, there’s no excuse!
Ooooh I’ve been a bad bad blogger! Sorry miss, I’ll do my best to not let it happen again.
Found this jacket last Thursday, immediately fell in love and knew our first adventure together was to be Saturday. We had fun, Glebe Markets proved to be a perfect day and Neil proved himself amazing 100 times over staying to help me from beginning to end because it was ridiculously exhausting for this Baby Bubble incubator! At the end of the day, as soon as we stepped foot inside the house, I was lying on the couch having a snooze, waking only to stuff myself waaaay too full of pizza. Eyes bigger than my belly! Thank you to everyone who visited, muchos love.
What started out rather early but with organisation and yummy Easter eggs, ended with one rail collapsing in the wind, one rail being blown across the footpath, melted chocolate eggs and then said collapsing rail collapsing again with a snap, never to be used again! Grrr!
But we won’t concentrate on the unfortunate, instead I’m happy to have conversed with some weird and wonderful people (the beauty of Newtown, you just never know who’s going to be thrown into the mix) including (in the wonderful file) Emma from spindizzyfall (who is much smaller in person and the cutest thing in the world) and Emma from Owl and the Grapes (who is possibly the sweetest person I’ve ever met).
So the last few days I’ve been sorting and tagging my selection for the Newtown Markets tomorrow. Thank goodness it’s all done, it’s a surprisingly time consuming job, made more so I imagine when done every once in a blue moon rather than on a regular basis.
Here’s a bit of a look at what’ll be hanging around tomorrow, ready for your eager little paws to find!
Next job - I really should decide on something to wear because at 6am I am not going to be in any state of awake to make such a decision!
... to say thanks to anyone and everyone who came to the sale this weekend. And an even bigger thank you to Emma for having me and being such a pleasure to deal with. If you ever want me again, I'm all yours!
One day down, one to go! I expect the sale will be significantly quieter on Sunday, but that certainly doesn’t mean there aren’t still good finds to be found. There is so much stuff in this place, it’s a never ending treasure trove of the gorgeous, the stunning, the avant garde, the sequinned, the long, the short, the black, the white, the rainbow hued, the one you’ve been searching for all your life.
I love the Hibernian House building; it’s covered head to toe in graffiti, of the artistic kind not the destructive kind.
