I Love it When it Rains

Well, to be honest, I loved it that the rain complied with the BrisStyle guidelines and managed to stay away between 9am and 2pm on Saturday!

St Augustine's was green and shiny from the rain and provided a beautiful backdrop for the shoppers and stallholders alike. Great to see some familiar faces and also lovely chatting with lots of new customers. One gorgeous visitor came from the Sunshine Coast and was dressed for the event in her gumboots. She decided to make the dash to Brisbane when the floodwaters receded enough for her to get out and stock up on her BrisStyle supplies. What a dedicated shopper!

I have to admit to doing a brief happy dance when a gorgeous Gran purchased the first of my upcycled, denim skirts for her granddaughter. There will be more of them available for purchase at the Boutique Markets at Portside on Sunday. Here's a little sneak peek before I go. Hope your week is outstanding!

Couldn't Wait Until Monday

Now, you may have noticed I don't usually post on the weekends...I'm a Monday to Friday kind of girl. This weekend I had to break my rule because I am too excited to wait. Today I had a meeting with the head of my Customer Feedback team (aka Paddy the 51/2 year old button). We were looking at fabric swatches for the plane I told you about. It was a great meeting and we came up with a few possibilities and then he mentioned that he wanted to wear 'his' new shirt to the birthday party he was going to at 2:30pm. Lucky for me the other members of the Customer Feedback team were sleeping so I was able to finish his shirt in time for the party!

We were pretty happy with the finished product and I wanted to give you a sneak peek. We'll debut these on Saturday at The Handmade Expo but in a limited size range so please leave a comment if you particularly want one in a certain size or colour and we'll make sure we have what you need. I had to include the second shot as he was quite happy to strike, what he considered to be, a very, cool pose. I loved the fact that his bear, B.B., was also part of the shot! Please note Beebs was dressed up for the occasion.

We'll post some photos of the other designs as they come off the assembly line throughout the week. Enjoy Sunday!
