Etsy Front Page for BrisStylers

Today was a very exciting day. Lots of BrisStylers got featured on the front page of Etsy. My Black and White pocket mirror was among them. Lots of sales resulted. Here it is in case you missed it.

Lets Go Shopping

Time for some etsy shopping and the "Lets Go Shopping" meme with BrisStyle.

As I sit here typing this it is cold and rainy out side, my feet are cold and the winter chill has definitely set in. So I set out to find some toasty slippers, scarfs and other warming things on etsy. Red is such a warm colour so lets go with that.

What do you think?

Lets Go Shopping

This is my first week joining in the BrisStyle meme "Let's Go Shopping". So here are my finds.

I just love hearts (hence the name)... so when searching for hearts on Etsy I found these delightful green heart earrings and decided to go with the green theme. I'm happy with the end result!

CraftAlive Dubbo Fair

Tomorrow I am heading out to the Dubbo Craft Alive fair. Its all very exciting. This is the first big three day event that I have attended. As usual the preparation has all been let till the last minute and I just know I will forget something. But it is sure to be a great weekend. If you live in or near Dubbo, why not pop in and see us. Check out the CraftAlive website for details. I'm off to pack. Road trip here we come...

Handmade Love for the Flood Appeal

I am privileged to be part of the BrisStyle etsy team who has banded together to raise money for the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal by way of BrisStyle's "Handmade Ark" Flood Appeal”.

To help out all you need to do is search 'BrisStyle Ark' on etsy or click here and purchase some of the hundreds of handmade goodies that are being donated to raise the much needed funds.

So far the floods have devastated 75% of Queensland with a loss of 12 lives and many more still missing. Thousands of people have lost everything and the rebuilding will take months and months.

If you would like to donate to the Flood Relief Appeal you can do so here. Every little bit counts.

I have also donated some handmade items to the Etsians Australian Flood Appeal. All proceeds from them also go to the Flood Relief Appeal. Check out what they have to offer here.

BIG Market Weekend

This weekend is going to be huge. Firstly, Friday night is the BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market. Brisbane King George Square between 5 and 9pm, is going to be packed with lovely handmade goodies. Not to mention the big band music with jazz and swing standards from QWAZZ (Queensland Wind and Jazz). Hopefully the rain will hold off and it will be fabulous night.

Then on Saturday morning its off to The Handmade Expo bright and early. A great location in the Ipswich Turf Club and Soulman O'Gaia entertaing us with his soul tunes. This month is also time to buy your Fireman/men 2011 calender. Proceeds from the calenders go to raising much needed funds for the children's hospital, and don't forget the Swanbank Steam Train Rides running throughout the day. Another fun, fun day.

Hopefully I will still be awake at the end of the weekend. I am still busily putting the final touches on some magnets and pendants that I will be selling at the markets. If you are near by drop in and say hi. Mention this post and you can grab yourself a FREE pocket mirror.

Shadow Shot Sunday #11

A few weeks ago was my birthday and my wonderful husband took me away for the night to the Marriott on the Gold Coast. Such a beautiful place. These chandeliers were hanging in the foyer and in the restaurant and made lovely shadows. Just had to share. Enjoy!
