Little Diva's last market......

Make sure you come and visit Little Diva Designs at the markets tomorrow as this is going to be my last market (for a while anyway) while I concentrate on my new online store to be launched soon...


Boutique Markets, Portside Wharf, Hamilton. Free Parking and great food and coffee for when you need a shopping break.

**EXTENDED HOURS: 9am to 3pm**

Don't despair if you can't make it to the markets as I'll still be selling online for the moment and will be uploading lots of new items next week. Also, I'm offering *Free Postage* on lots of items at the moment.

A perfect spring day for the Markets.... and a discount too !!

Little Diva Designs will be at the fabulous Boutique Markets again tomorrow and seeing as it's going to be such a glorious spring day, I'm offering 10% off to all of my Facebook, Twitter and Blog followers.... just mention that you're a follower and the deal is done.

The markets are at Portside Wharf, Hamilton from 8am to 1pm. See you there...

It arrived.... YAY !

This is why I was waiting so patiently for the Postman yesterday:


You'll probably remember my post recently where I made a couple of Owls for the lovely Jo at Lovestamp.


Well, we had decided on doing a swap, so after a lot of deliberation I finally picked the necklace I wanted and it came, beautifully packaged, yesterday...


There's two packages because I also ordered one for my sister - I can't show you hers yet as it's a belated Birthday present and I'm giving it to her tonight.

here's mine though:

(sorry about the photography - clearly I'm not good at photographing jewellery!!)


I just love it and had to wear it straight away. It has my children's names on it and a little x and o (for kisses and hugs of course) at the top.

Thanks Jo... If you want one of these beauties for yourself you can click here to visit the Lovestamp online store or you can also catch Jo at the Boutique Markets tomorrow - where of course I will be wearing mine!!

BIDM was a huge success....

I'm nearly recovered now from my huge weekend....

First on Saturday was the BrisStyle Indie Designers Market (BIDM) over at Hamilton.

(outdoor stalls before starting time)

I must say it was a raging success with the inside hall packed for most of the day. So many fabulous stalls with such different and unique handmade things... Unfortunately I didn't have time (or room) to take any photo's of my stall or others but you can visit some blogs with photo's here and here .

(indoors - before the madness) you can just see my clothes rack over there on the left..

(indoors - during the madness)

By the way, I borrowed these photos from Epheriell Designs and TrishAlan Designs. Hope you lovely ladies don't mind!!

I didn't get around to see everyone but I did manage to pick a few things:


This is my new brooch from Prettyhead Designs. Cute isn't he!! I'm not really into brooches but I just couldn't resist and he's now going to be my little market buddy as he goes well with my black and red market apron. It was lucky I got in early as they almost sold out - there was just three little lonesome heart brooches at the end of the day - well done Casey!


This gorgeous card from Denim Days - thanks Tracey for looking after my stall for me while I had a quick break or a wander...


and this lovely domino pendant from Up in Annie's Room - it's for a friend's belated birthday..


Then on Sunday we had our two Birthday parties. 10am at the park for a 4th Birthday Party and then 2pm at Lollypop world for a 5th Birthday Party.

Here they are ready to head off for the first installment:


I just took the girls to the second birthday party as it would have been too much for Harry and he would have been a nightmare by that time of day with no sleep. He would have loved it though!

So, onto another week. I've got a wholesale order ready to take over to Mini Boutique at St Lucia, another wholesale order to sew for Babies Australia Emporium, some photos to take for the Love Mum website (my newest stockist - online store launching 15th July) and lots of sewing for the Boutique Markets I'll be at this coming Sunday 12th July....

I guess I really should go and get something done... (oh and I've got to write my July Newsletter too - if you're not signed up, send me your email address and you'll go in the draw to win an AUD $15 voucher to my Made It store).

June Boutique Markets Launch..

The launch of the new Boutique Markets at Portside was just over a week ago and it was fantastic. The weather was just beautiful - a little bit frosty setting up at 6.30am but once I got started I didn't notice - the stallholders and organisers just lovely and the shoppers aplenty.

I had the Boutique Markets information stall on one side so I got to chat to Rachael (one of the organisers) quite a bit and on the other side was Katie from Evie Rose. Here's a couple of photo's of her stall:



and one of mine:


I meant to get the camera out later to take some more photos of my stall and others too but it didn't happen so I'll get some more next month.

The July market coincides with the "Chocolate and Coffee Lovers Affair" at Portside which would definately be worth checking out itself - mmmmm, I'm thinking I might have to keep wandering away!! But don't forget to leave time to visit the market too. It will be Sunday 12th July from 8am until 4pm (extended hours for this event).

Don't forget though, before that market, you'll be able to find Little Diva at the BrisStyle Indie Designers Market on Saturday 4th July:


And don't forget myself and some of the other BrisStylettes will be on The Great South East this Sunday 28th June on Channel 7 at 5:30pm.

The BrisStyle Market will be here soon...

Just a reminder of the BrisStyle Market coming up on Saturday 4th July.... Hope to see you there..


Just a quick post today as I've got the house to myself ALL day so I can actually get some sewing done.. YAY !! It's a bit quiet though.... I think I'd better crank up the music!!

P.S. It was just pointed out that my "Snigglebottom's" were featured on the Handmade Kids "Fabulous Friday Finds" yesterday - they're definitely in good company!
