Weekend Drool List

I'm having withdrawal symptoms from clothes shopping at the moment, given I'm 37 weeks pregnant and there is no point in me even considering buying new clothes until bubs is here and I'm back into some sort of normal shape! However  I cannot wait to go on a shopping spree for some new wardrobe pieces....

So with that in mind, thought I'd do a search on etsy for some handmade clothing designers. Here's what I came up with...

I stumbled across a designer located in Perth (and part of the DUST team) who has a store called RawHemline and makes these etheral, angelic, delicate tea-dyed dresses and tops. They make me feel all pretty and feminine just looking at them!

And speaking of feminine, these femme-fatale tattoo-inspired peacock feather tights are so adorable. They're from a cute little stocking boutique on etsy called tattoosocks. I can so imagine them paired with a hot little black dress and killer heels. Think French Bond Girl. Ooh la la!

It was really hard to choose one item to feature as I adore practically everything in this store. Vintage inspired and oozing with 1950's sex appeal comes this gorgeous chemise from Hopeless (another wonderful DUSTer!). One word...Gorgeous. No actually two words.. I want!

How delightfully feminine is this vintage turquoise bombshell dress from Thrush Vintage. I adore the color, the beaded bodice detail and the form of this stunning dress. Wear this dress and you'll be instantly transported to another time, with 'blue moon' playing in the background and slow dancing with your first crush . Sigh. If only I had a ball to go to....

How sexy is this dress? From melissatabor on etsy, it has a deep plunging neckline and high waist, with a cute little pleated feature at the back.  It is definetely the ladies alternative to a killer suit. I think strutting around the office in this little number would sure to get you some attention, maybe even a payrise.

Ok no more clothes talk now until I can actually buy some :)

Another day, another treasury....

Since posting a few treasuries, I've been in four more treasuries this week, that's 6 all up just since the weekend. Something is definetely in the air with treasuries lately!! Thank you to Gaby from hopelesslydevoted,  Emma from noogal, Kavitha from poetry jewelry and Rhonda from glimmeringgems for inclusion in these four new gorgeous collations....

Revolver Designer Market 11-03-10

Last night I attended my first Revolver Designer Market. It's a bit of a bizarre thing, I've never been to a pub or bar before that has market stalls, but I liked what I saw and was more than happy to be a part of it! Thank you to everyone that popped down to see me and my stall, and thanks to all who purchased from me on the night! An extra big thank you to my husband Ty who came and sat with me (no doubt bored!) the whole night :) I was a bit nervous about the whole thing, having not done any markets before, but it worked out well and I have another one in 2 weeks (so if you missed this one, come to the next!).  Thanks also to Gaby and her sister from hopeless who were on the stall next to me and managed to answer my silly questions, being a newbie and all!

Whilst me and Ty gobbled down our yummy thai food from Colonel Tan's on our laps, without, may I say - a single drop down my top (a mean feat considering I'm usually such a clumsy grub!) I managed to sell out of wooden bunny brooches, so I will have to get busy to make some more for the next market. Also popular were rose rings and rose necklaces. Not a huge amount of sales, but the other stall holders assured me it was an unusually quiet night, and with markets, unfortuantely you have to take the good with the bad. So based on that theory alone, the next market is gonna be tops & I'm gonna make a fortune. Hehe. We'll see.

The other stalls incuded some wicked jewellery, awesome funky cards from able and game, cool eco lighting shades from electric firefly, and darling handmade hair accessories from hopelessly devoted. I must also thank Amelia from milkwood design for giving me the goss on the market before hand, so I was a little more aware of what to expect! She does awesome resin jewellery I always drool over.

SO.. If you're going to be around, make sure you come down Thursday 29th March, from 6-10pm. Bring a group of friends and make a night of it. It's a really great atmosphere, with groovy beats, cheap yummy thai food & quality beer (just $10 for jugs if that tempts you further!) or if you're more into cocktails, extremely 80's cocktails are a also hit :) PLUS whilst schmoozing and drinking, you can view a selection of handmade designer stalls, including mine! Now tell me, whats stopping you! :)
