Finders Keepers Fun Times

13 October 2010

shed

We have just returned from a great weekend in Melbourne doing the very first Finders Keepers Market at Docklands. There was lots of people and perfect weather, which always makes for a great atmosphere and fun times had by all! The Made By White stall was looking as bright and fancy as always, with our deer friend blowing bubbles across the backdrop!

The Storybook Rabbit was right next door, packed full of all the goodies I have been lovingly creating for months.

plates

I made teatowels, puppets, brooches, porcelaine necklaces & framed tiles, but when people came, they came for the plates! I must say I did feel a little sad saying goodbye to some of these, but they all went to good homes in the end.

We were very happy to see some of our friends at the market too! Sal and Bec are some of the nicest gals you’ll ever meet and had a super cute assortment of pretty things from Sally’s online store Georgie Love, which we love too.

Of course the girls from Made590 were there right next to us, with their cool birdhouses and apple tree clothing racks none the less!

And this is the super cute Lark stall, Alison had beautiful daisy lane swap cards, Belle and Boo goodness and most importantly, the tastiest LOLLIES at the whole event!!!

Speaking of tasty, Beatbox Kitchen was also there and kept us fed both days. I had the best Schnitzel wrap of my life from here.

And while Raph cooked us food, his partner Beci Orpin created this amazing installation over at the Frankie stall! Which I just want to steal and hang straight on my wall AS IS. Amazing.

All in all, we had such a great time being around other “creatives” and meeting so many lovely people. Thanks to anyone who came and purchased our goodies or just stopped by for a chat! Kx

Winterland Festival Opening Night

8 July 2010

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

5 July 2010

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

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)

We had a very busy lead up to Christmas this year, sooo much going on but we finally got around to making the brooches for our winners of the Finders Keepers comp! Here are the final products, we do hope everyone is happy with what they receive! Lx

Winners of their own custom brooch design!

14 December 2009

So we said we would choose 5 winners but it as hard enough choosing 10 so we are going to make the following 10 designs into one-of-a-kind brooches, congratulations guys!! Drawings were not only judged on the drawing but whether we could see it making a great brooch or not…. We think all of these are going to be fantastic! We will be in contact with the winners to let them know when they will be receiving their brooch!
