The signs are out there

have you seen our signs out and about this week?

Refreshed! Check out our website!

Our website has been in need of an overhaul for as long as I can remember!

And now it lives!

The website will now be more onsite market focused with a kind of 'round up' from the last market.

Each fortnight (-ish! 2nd and 4th remember!) the site will be completely redone and if you missed the Saturday market you'll be able to go online and see just exactly what and who you missed out on!

Hope you enjoy visiting the site regularly to check out our awesome and talented stallholders who do a brilliant job in creating beautiful stuff!

Go right now and visit our revamped website...  Don't delay!

Who's at Homespun this Weekend

It's raining like crazy at our place.  We're back from holidays.  The rain was a good note to come home on - I would have felt depressed leaving on a day like yesterday!

So rain, keep coming today and tomorrow and all tomorrow night, and then stop at around 7am on Saturday morning just for 7 or 8 hours... please?

Here is the fabulous line up for this Saturday's market:

Tamar Valley Gourmet Foods - cakes, slices, biscuits including gluten free - the best baked goods I've ever tasted and market priced too...

Lizart - a large range of fine beaded jewellery including crystals

Hoot Hoot Skirts - groovy ladies' wrap skirts

Three Little Chickens - bits and bobs of all kinds of stuff from pendants to cards, cute appliqued baby singlets

Justeen Hamer **new** - handmade jewellery

Blaze Mason - original artwork by Blaze, very cool badge brooches among other stuff

The Beach

We've had two days at Greens Beach and we're loving it!

At seven months, Poison Ivy hasn't quite gotten the hang of smiling on cue and at two and a half, the H-Bomb just couldn't hold that smile any longer when the little one finally did look up!

The weather has been lovely and it looks like we're in for much more of it.  Bring it on!

Tomorrow I might even post something about handmade and markets... maybe.

At the Shack

We're having a spur of the moment holiday.

Our friend's shack at Greens Beach was unexpectedly vacated and Nick just started 4 weeks of annual leave so we packed up the girls and the dogs and headed off.

Now there are shacks and there are shacks if you know what I mean.  Shacks that are on par or better than your humble abode or shacks that are just that - little shanties.

The shack we're at is a little shanty, a throw back to the 1970s.  I am dying to share some pictures with you!

look at these mirrors!

this is the lighting in the kitchen - the wallpaper is nearly cool again

and remember these doorbells?!  we had one at home...

and take in that wallpaper in the bedroom!  if it was reno'd it would be a keeper for sure!

and the centrepiece in the living area including that great lamp and the original shagpile carpet... how about that for quality!

We have been here 24 hours and are settling in and relaxing already.  It's so generous of our friends to let us use this little relic!  The best thing about it is the golf course setting and just 5 minutes flat walk to the beach.  Aaaahhhhh, we might not come home... for a while anyway.

Alas, there is a market next weekend that I must be in town for...

Five Saturdays in January = No Market this Weekend

Our new operating days of the second and fourth Saturdays of the month is kind of fortnightly, but occasionally not.

So no market this weekend.

We are on again on Festivale weekend, 13th February.  We'll hopefully take advantage of lots of visitors to town and add to the festival atmosphere.
