*Rose Street Market - Part 1

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day!!! <3

Jacob got me some very cool Barrel of Monkey earrings and some nice handmade non-soap soap. I made some yummy prawn alfredo pasta for dinner... it was a good day. I took a couple photos and if I wasn't so forgetful, I'd have them up by now.

Anywho. The Market went well on Saturday! Even with the rain and chill in the air. Thank you Marky for the giant cafe umbrella, even with the leaks, we would have been much worse off without it!!

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! 

 Woodrow, a friend of Aida's took a couple shots - he's much quicker than I with the uploading.. Thanks!!!!

Cutest market visitor!!

  

Thanks Woodrow for the shots!!

Once I am back at my computer, I'll have more images of the stall and goods. Can't wait for the next installment of the Market this weekend!! Hope for no rain and sunny skies!

*Rose Street Artist Market this Saturday!!!

Don't forget!!!

Aida and I will be at the Rose Street Market this Saturday (and the next two Saturdays 13th, 20th, & 27th)!

I've been trying to get a few things together, photographs, images, buttons, and a few crocheted pieces.







I'll have a range of 4x4 inch prints and 7x7 prints for sale. There is a mix of some Holga, some TTV (Through the Viewfinder) and some Brownie shots. I'm really excited because quite of few of these are new - or rather - have not been on Etsy or seen anywhere else.

Also, lots of brand new buttons!!! And of course, with Valentine's Day coming up on Sunday - there are some super stylin' new pink and red brooches that I'm crazy about!!! I'll have to make a couple to keep for myself..

Anywho! Hope to see you there tomorrow!!

*the Rose Street Preview!!

In the works.

Along with some sweet fabric and limited Vintage Map Melbourne buttons and a few drawings and prints. 

*a new want... no possibly a need :)

omgomgomgomg...

I had a quick chat to a client today who dropped off some film to be scanned... This is her new baby and her photos were just lovely!! Yep. Me want.

If anyone is feeling generous... you can find it here... Pretty reasonable considering what they are charging for Holgas these days (which just kills me!!) ie. girlfriend goes to NZ to visit her family for the holidays, comes back with scary news - Holgas are over $250 in NZ.... Unreal! I got my first one probably over 10 years ago now and paid all of $20 each. I bought two... how could I resist? I gave one away to a friend, but still have one. I'm heading back to the states in a month or so and am going to check out the Lomo/Holga/Diane details while I'm there. Ahhhh.... Can't wait!!!!

*The Rose Street Artist Market

I will be at the Rose Street Artist Market with the lovely Aida Sabic on the 13th, 20th and 27th of February!!

I'm so excited to be there!! This will be a first for me.. But yeah, bring it :)

I'll have some funky little buttons, quite a bit of my photographic work, TTV and Holga prints, and I'm actually working on a few drawings and a couple small paintings as well. Crazy!!! Anyway, hoping it's not as hot as it's been this weekend! Fingers crossed!

*some favorite photos of 2009

I've been taking this last day of a decade to go through some photos I've taken the last year...

These are from our NZ trip in March... They are all from the Holga, too. I decided that was the only camera I was going to bring, and it was liberating!

I'm sure I'll have more as the day goes on...

*personality colour quiz

Mmmmm. Quizzes! Check out this colour quiz found via How about Orange (love her blog!!!!!)

Pales colours inside are for sure my thing. My lounge room at my last apartment before I moved in with my hubby, was mostly white, black, tan and reds. Black and white images framed with white matts and black frames, and another set of images in white frames....

The more I started putting my own images into my space, the more colour seems to creep in. Now I live in a house that is mostly beige and browns, but the lounge room has these bright cobalt blue couches and more colourful painting on the walls. I like to think that I am growing in my appreciation of colour.Bring it on!!!!

*what's hot & not

I've given in to Loobylu's blog!!

What's Hot :

New yummy fabrics purchased from Dancing Queen and zippers a-plenty!

Aida finally getting a Holga! And me getting to photograph her new exhibition opening at 696! Woohoo! I'm such a good sponsor ;)

Pumpkin carving - Thanks to everyone that came Saturday night to the First Annual van Hulst Pumkpin Carving Night. I'll upload photos very soon! I promise! There was heaps of pumkpin guts everywhere and spooky glowing faces sitting on the porch... Good times!

Erin and Duncan's quickest portrait session ever! Seriously it took less than ten minutes. Sweet!

What's Not :

Realising that I missed the gallery opening for Sarah Louise Jackson at Obscura Gallery. I will get there soon! Fingers crossed!!

Allergies.

Racism on Public Tranport. Seriously. Bad news.

True Blood Season 3 isn't on until June 2010????? Very Not! Argh! Withdrawls!
