So if you
follow truth.be.told on facebook, twitter or even instagram you will know that I
have been focused on preparing for the Melbourne
leg of Finders Keepers lately. And this past weekend the market finally took
place!
It all went
by in kind of a whirlwind. After quickly setting up my little island stall, it was
time to begin on Friday and I must say the crowd was overwhelming and amazing.
The atmosphere on both days was so happy and like a big ol’ party with a spot
of shopping thrown in. Of course the amazing venue didn’t hurt either – as someone
who studied architecture, spending two days inside that gorgeous old dame of a
building was pretty spectacular.
I didn’t
get a chance to get out from behind the stall to take many photos or have a
look around because it was that busy – which is so amazing! I had such a great
time and I’m especially happy with the response to all of the new designs and
products that debuted at the Mark et.
And it
probably goes without saying that the stallholders were awesome. It was great
to catch up with some of my super talented friends – like Emily Green, So Little Time Co., Emma Leonard, Beattie Lanser, Able & Game , Jubly Umph , Lavallier and The Professors Daughter. Oh and catching up with two of my fave ladies - Renee and Angela was awesome as always. And of course getting to meet lots of others I only know
via twitter and instagram - like Alicia from Bespoke Letterpress and Soph ie from That Vintage - was equally amazing! And I
should also say - my neighbour on our little island Sarah Rothe was so lovely
and super talented – check out her jewellery range over here.
Anyone who
drops by here often won’t find what I am about to say strange – but I don’t
think I would have survived the Mark et
without my dose of cupcakes from Mister Nice Guy Cupcakes. Seriously – I love
cake and these are my all time favourite cupcakes. So thanks to the lovely
girls behind their stall for being so great!
Thank you
so much to everyone who came by and visited. It was great to meet you all and also
finally meet some people I know from instagram and twitter too!
I’ve put
together a few shots for you in case you missed the market or you just want to
relive the fun like I do.
Oh and my
online store is now fully stocked with everything in the truth.be.told range so pop over and visit!
