Winterland Festival Opening Night

Last Friday was the opening night of the Winterland Festival and we were there with all our Made by White products, it was an invite only event – not sure what you had to do to get an invite but I’m pretty sure all the people were there for the free alcohol (and risotto and soup) It was lots of fun though so we thought we would share some photos they have done a great job decorating!!

We will be having a stall at the Winterland Markets organised by the Finders Keepers this Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday (day and night) so please come say hi !

We will be right next to our good friends Anney and Mechelle who make the most amazing Zines, hand painted plates, jewellery, and artworks – they also have a great collection of vintage clothing!

And the Find Me Keep Me ladies will be there too with all their lovely products!

And just wanted to add this great stage decoration in – and this crazy singer who was wearing the skimpiest outfit while everyone else was wearing 5-6 layers of clothing! She had to be cold especially with the ice rink only 20 meters away!

Lauren Carney Paperdoll Clothesline

I’m very excited to have finally found a moment to put up the coolest thing I bought from the Brisbane Finders Keepers, which was this AMAZING Paperdoll Clothesline set by Lauren Carney. She was so lovely and super excited to have a stall at the Brissy FK market. These cute little paperdolls are all hand cut & assembled and each girly has a different garment made from an interesting printed paper. The set comes with tiny pegs and string to hang it straight up on your wall! They really are pretty amazing and at $25 they are an absolute steal! You can visit her Etsy store here, where you’ll find a great selection of cute things. Kx

Fox and Owl

bunnybrooch1Ok, possibly some of the cutest things I’ve ever seen in my search for all things bunny-related. Fox and Owl doesn’t appear to actually have many foxes or owls, but these two bunnies sure caught my eye! Check out their etsy shop for a small selection of super cute things.

Brisbane and The Finders Keepers

Last weekend was the 2nd Brisbane Finders Keepers Market, which we were lucky enough to be part of. Brisbane is a pretty interesting place, very different to Sydney and the weather is much nicer than it is here at the moment! Here is us (minus Trev taking the photo) on the plane!

And luckily Ben bought along his new ipad to entertain us (and the surrounding passengers) on the trip down there.

This was a cool deer man sculpture on the street which made me laugh, because he looks like he’s waiting to cross the road!

DEERMAN

The vintage shops and antique centres were probably my favourite thing we saw in Brisbane. They were packed with really cool stuff I could have easily filled my suitcase with.

Unfortunately this carousel pig wouldn’t fit, because he was amazingly scary and beautiful. There was also lots of great dresses and accessories, but nothing so amazing I needed to buy it.

These miniature bunnies on the other hand, I couldn’t possibly leave without buying to add to my collection.

And this was my find of the trip, an amazing vintage tea cup and saucer with deer, giraffe and a squirrel for only $2 from Vinnies!

This was a great little cafe we found after it was featured in Frankie Mag. They did great coffee and amazing raisin toast and caramel nut muffins!

Cute Animals

This week has (for us) been a week of cuTe overload – as you could guess we are always looking out for cute animals – Not dogs and cats but unusual animals ones we would love to have come live with us! Here are a few of the best!

This shy walrus, don’t you just want to cuddle him!!

This deer and bunny we spotted on The Ever Dazzling (you know how we LOVE deers and bunnies!!!)

This video of a hedgehog eating a carrot – we just laughed and laughed… Wish we could have hedgehogs as pets in Australia!!

And last but not least this amazing Transformer Owl – how fantastic and magical (fast forward the video to about 1 min)

New Jewellery Sneak Peek

elephantHere’s a sneak peaks at some of the new jewellery we’ve been working on this week in anticipation of next weekends’ Brisbane Finders Keepers Market. Themes include animals dressed in their finest (felt) capes and hoods, some new circus friends (with pom-pom hats) and a few more surprises we’re working on as we speak! Hope to see you all in Brissy next weekend.

Inside A Black Apple

I was very excited to see The Black Apple’s Emily Martin has put out a new book on paper dolls! Available for pre-order here which I will be doing very shortly. I’ve been a fan of The Black Apple since my first etsy encounter where I purchased numerous prints in one hit and I still have them hanging on my walls today! One thing that’s really cool is seeing how much her style and technique has really developed over the years, along with her growing fame (she has even appeared on Martha Stewart)!

book

Anyway I must say the recent work she has done for her “Lost on the Midway” exhibition has been really AMAZING. Here are a few of the pieces which really made me “Aww”.

Lost on the Midway

I think I love this group photo the best, she worked on several smaller pieces for the exhibition like the super cute siamese dolls, ink drawings and pencil sketches. Sigh. So much pretty! Check out Emily’s blog “Inside a Black Apple” for more inspirational goodness. Kx

Juno update

Some random Juno photos because I got her desexed last week and she’s been even more mischievous than usual, pulling her stitches out on the first day & gorging herself on basil (guilt-fed to her by me).

juno1

Except for when the heater is on and her favourite spot on the couch is free, she is then more than happy to sit looking like a little puff ball of velvety fur and just enjoy the heat.

juno2

juno4Mum made me a mini chain scarf for my birthday, it was meant to be for my ceramic deers but I couldn’t resist trying it on Juno for size. She basically just tried to eat it the second it was on, as you can tell from the photo. But if you like it, you can get a person-sized scarf at the winterland markets we’re doing next month, mum’s been very busy knitting and hand-dying some really great colours and these babies sell out pretty quickly!

Brisbane here we come!

Autumn Winter Finder Keepers

We are coming up to Brisbane later this month for the Finders Keepers! Yay we are so excited and happy to be a part of their Brisbane Markets! Sooooo Brisbane people – what’s cool up there?? What should we do? what should we see? We haven’t visited in years so would love to know what we should checkout while were are there for a few days? Any good cafes? Shops? Areas? We need to know so we can visit them – we don’t have much time but want to see everything! We also still need to find a place to stay so any suggestions there are welcome too!

See you all there! (invite your friends)
