I have been involved with Mathilda’s Market since day dot.  I find them extremely nice and so supportive of small, handmade brands.  Here is my first market of the year – we are all off to Canberra (which is a fabulous place too).  I hope to catch up with Jennie and I know Helen will be there too.  Will you be down that way?

Paperklip stall Magnolia Square Nov 2009

Hello.  Are you are getting ready for Christmas?  My daughter said to me today – Mummy – I can’t believe that we are already up to no. 7 (on the advent calendar).  I almost can’t believe it either when I think of all the things I want to do – put a little more in the Etsy shop, hang my heart shaped card holder up, write my cards (I actually love to do this – weird I know).  I am even going to attempt a pudding this year for Christmas lunch dessert.  I can say that the tree is up, the lights are switched on outside and I’ve almost ticked everyone off of the list.  And that feels good.

I have a few photos to share with you sent over to me by Naomi from Scissors, Paper, Cake.  Naomi was a fellow stallholder at the recent Magnolia Square in Sydney.  Naomi has possibly the most lovely portfolio of cakes and cookies for parties (and other special occasions) that I have come across.  Together with Natalie from Imprintables (who does very lovely stationery – my weakness) the girls have everything you may need to create the perfect party.  Delightful and delicious and thank you Naomi!

Magnolia Square Randwick Racecourse Nov 19-21

How fast is time going?  It is Magnolia Square time again this Thursday, and its bigger than last time.  More retailers, more space = more fun.  Paperklip will be there with lots of lovely Christmas garlands, gift tags, regular garlands and some nice things hand-picked by myself.  Kelly from Little Bubble and Tree will be there too, and Lisa from The Red Thread, and Prue from Little Bird Photography will be flitting around.  It is going to be great so I hope that you can get along and say hello.

Hi there!  Have you heard about Allie’s Attic yet?  It is a new boutique market popping up at Hunter’s Hill this Saturday, full of lovely handmade goodness (that includes Paperklip).

Allie is also having a little competition, just for filling out a little info about the market.  You could win this sweet Paperklip Merry Christmas garland among other niceties.

Hope to see you there.

Thank you Mathilda’s for the lovely write-up on your new blog.  The new graphics are so sweet. See you Sunday.

Cosmos – fresh from the Farmer’s Market at Warwick Farm Racecourse this morning.  Never been before but will definately go back.  Total haul – Cosmos, Kifler potatoes, Rhubarb, Carrots, Salad Mix, Cherry Tomatoes, Gala Apples, Pork and Sage sausages and a pork Salami from Trunkey Bacon and Pork in Orange, NSW.  Delicious.

It is market season – and this is one I am really excited about.  This will be my third Mathilda’s and I am a little bit chuffed because I have been asked by Anne to do the Christmas decorating.  It is a lovely event, loads of unique stalls and lovely stallholders to meet too.  And of course Paperklip will be hanging around!  Hope to see you there.
