Well it’s less than nine sleeps to Christmas and Mosman Christmas markets were vibrant and festive last night. While this weekend is our last weekend of markets before Christmas, Monday 19th is our last day for getting parcels out for online shopping for delivery in Australia before Christmas. I’m not confident that parcels sent out [...]
I’ve been having a wonderful time working with the porcelain clay to create beautiful porcelain jewellery and Christmas tree decorations. I’ve even managed to take photos of the entire range of the Christmas tree decorations. This is the full range that went to market at The Rocks last weekend and started going to new homes [...]
Something I’ve noticed each year with Christmas is the need to keep track of who’s getting what and each year I’ve thought “I really should make a little sheet up so people can just write down present ideas”. I’ve always known it would be an easy thing to do – simply make a PDF that [...]
This afternoon I dashed off to the pottery studio at UNSW to collect and finish my first samples of the new porcelain jewellery range. I’m so pleased with how they’ve turned out, the colours are wonderful, the textures are subtle and show the attention to detail I want to express and they all came through [...]
I always love going to Tasmania but this trip was extra special because I had one of those amazing light bulb moments with a new jewellery range taking firm shape in my mind. My dreams were invaded and I had to stop and write ideas down quite a few times. It requires new skills in [...]
Going to the Tasmanian Craft Fair meant driving to Melbourne and catching the ferry to Devonport as I had to take my stall in my car. I always enjoy meeting interesting people on the Spirit of Tasmania. This trip I met four men from Adelaide on their annual motor cycle touring holiday on their Harley Davison’s. [...]
I have a fascination for our native waratah flowers and while I regularly have local New South Wales waratahs in the house when they are in season I had only seen paintings and photos of Tasmanian waratahs, until this latest trip to the beautiful southern isle. Walking home from dinner after bumping out from the [...]
The final in our small business social media skills seminar series is on this Thursday at The Rocks Pop Up Project and is all about the practical tools for implementing your own marketing plan featuring Facebook and Twitter. This is a very practical, skills sharing seminar that empowers business owners with an understanding of how [...]
The last few weeks have all been about getting ready for our fashion show at the Pop Up Project and I had no idea there was so much involved in putting on a fashion show! I’ve learnt so much from the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority women who have been guiding us through. Running the social [...]
I discovered the Tasmanian Craft Fair last year and simply fell in love with it. So when I was accepted into the main part of the show this year I was over the moon. I’ve been rabbiting on about it to friends and family for months and they’re completely over my carrying ons so instead of chewing [...]
Continuing on this journey of stretching and growing with my business because I put my hand up for the Pop Up Project this year I’m now diving into working on a collaborative jewellery range with fashion designer Wendy Murray. This is the first time I’m working closely with another creative spirit on what my jewellery [...]
