Hello everyone and just wanted to wish everyone a very merry christmas. I am taking a couple of weeks off and going back home to New Zealand to spend time with family and friends. I can't wait I get to spoil my little nephew and my best friends little daughter, drink lion red in the sun, have icecreams on the beach, go shopping with mum and generally chill out. I am so excited.... I still have my shops open so if you looking for some pretty pendants please check out. I will be checking orders every couple of days but wont be blogging until I get back....

Markets at Manly

Hi everyone. Well the markets were great on Saturday made lots of sales and gave out all the goodie bags that everyone had participated in. Had such a great response, everyone thought it was a great idea and ravved about them.

Thanks to everyone who particpated and hope we all get some extra sales out of it. Have attached a couple of pictures of the goodie bags as you can see my little cat was a little bit tired after trying to play with everything.

I love all doggies

Hi everyone, Hope you all had a nice weekend. I had a nice relazing time, went to see Australia and I am in love with Hugh Jackman, like everyone I know, what a hunk!!!. It was a beautiful day yesterday and in my other life I do dog walking and pet minding which I love so much but am not able to walk as much these days as I had a knee op a while ago and can only go for short walks. One of my friends Malin loves animals as much as I do and we decided to do some volunteer work at doggie rescue. Its such a great organisation where all the rescued doggies go until they can find someone to love them. Check it out here wwww.doggierescue.com. I can't go onto the website very often otherwise I start tearing up!! I am a bog sook. Anyway here are some photos of the lovely dogs we walked. I love them.

Yay its the weekend

Hi everyone, thank god for the weekend, yay. Last night decided to do something different and me and a girlfriend Malin went to the Rocks area of Sydney just down by the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. In November they have weekly night markets so we strolled around along with hundreds of others and watched a free concert, had an icecream and even some chocolate dipped strawberries, they were awesome. We then had dinner at a lovely italian resturant and Sydney put on a show of fireworks, what a night, fantastic.

I even brought a great singlet from a cool shop prettyinpink.

Well this is the start of my blogging life

Hi everyone

well I never thought I would start a blog, firstly I thought my life wasn't that intertesting and secondly I am not that much of a writer but thought may as well give it a go now I sort of have an idea of what I am going to blog about.

I love supporting independant designers of all sorts and have decided to help out.

I have a market stall in Manly, Australia selling my pendants, rings etc. I have only just started doing this and I love it, its a great day, lots of laughs and socialising. I thought I would see if anyone out there wanted to send me some samples of products and some business cards to go into a goodie bag to give out on the market stall on the 6th December 2008.

I have had such a great response that I am going to feature all the sellers that have sent me items.

So over the next couple of weeks keep your eyes peeled for some great stuff from some of our designers out there.
