Suitcase, Staircase, Showcase!

I loved being a part of the recent "Suitcase Showcase" at SPIGA on Florida Road!  What a great initiative by the iheart market!  The challenge - showcase your work as a small collection within a 1m size stall using suitcases! "Sip, savour and Shop" was the call of the day and I must say I loved sipping on my frozen Margarita chatting to customers and fellow exhibitors. 

Nice to meet you!

I'd like to introduce you to these collage characters that have been popping into my creative life lately.

A bit of my art, a bit of pattern cutting, a bit of vintage paper or postcard and voila!  

This Next!

Visit from "it's what I'm into"

I was recently visited at my home studio by Sara Trickett and Tyrone Bradley from itswhatiminto.  They came to take a peep around my home (very rustic) and studio for a post on their uber cool and popular blog.  Without further adieu, here are a few of my favourite photos of the visit by Tyrone.

Beautiful suprises!

One miserable Monday a lovely lady showed up at my front door with a beautiful gift just for me.

She was a stranger who was my "secret santa" through an initiative by blogger Kelly (Sunflowers and Spears).  It really turned a ordinary day into a special day.  In the madness of getting ready to take a family of 5 on holiday I forgot to share my happiness and special gift on my blog.  So apologies to Samantha, but below is her delightful gift and a link to her blog Everything Samantha Hearts.
