Scarlet Calm after the Storm





Bit of a hectic week at Scarlet, nice to see so many of my Patchwork regulars at the Sale. Kate W and I spent a rewarding day on Monday re designing the shop layout, (with Geoff doing the heavy lifting thankfully) Kate is a wonderful designer and her talent shines through in the window display's.

Christmas is Coming



Yesterday I finally got a day off, with all this de cluttering, Mag Square and Sale, I haven't had any time out. So yesterday I had a day out.
I love the vibe in Fitzroy so had lunch at Arcadia with a friend Simone and walked up and down Gertrude Street.
Shops there are really diverse, sadly one of my favourite ones, Three Quarters is leaving and will only have their Brunswick W store. They have unique mid Century furniture.
The Vintage stores in Fitzroy have lovely quality clothing, especially Circa. I could not resist a fifties blouse that had my name on it, which was new old stock.
I didn't get a chance to go to Meet Me At Mikes, Pip has just put out a new book and I especially loved the Skirt and Bean bag. I will get there next time.
After Fitzroy I went to Pinoak Cresent in Flemington to check out Simone's shop Wild Jam.
Simone has great taste and her shop is full of fabulous things.
Anyway to cut a long story short (not really) Simone showed me some cute as Christmas birds.
After trying madly to get some, the wholesaler said there is no more.
So being an old crafter I decided to make my own. Cute huh! There will be many more to come.

Random Things







Random is a funny word. To me it is things that you love but don't necessarily go together.
I think this is what is interesting about other people's interiors. Today's photo's are of a few of my random things.
p.s. The prints are by the talented Christina Gordon (Jam Fancy)

What I am doing at the moment



At the moment I have gone back to a quilt I made quite some time ago. It is a Brick pattern two colour quilt.
I had it ditch quilted and am starting to hand quilt 1/4" around the red.

Lily of the Valley and Sale at Scarlet




This morning at Camberwell Market my flower man had bunches of Lily of the Valley.
The smell took me back as it was my mum's favourite perfume.
I am now off to prepare Scarlet for the Sale. among other things on Sale Place des Lices cosmetics will be at clearance prices up to 70% off, great to get in early for Christmas, which is only about 8 weeks away. Scary really!

Magnolia Square and Scarlet Sale


I am at Magnolia Square at the moment with Scarlet stock. For anyone that does not know, it is a Boutique Market at Malvern Town Hall. Lots of very nice things there including Scarlet Jones clothing.
I am having a big clear out at Scarlet next week for anyone interested.
I want my lounge room back as excess stock from the warehouse ended up there!
