Racing to get ready for Racecourse Road

The next BrisStyle Indie Designers Market is fast approaching and I'm looking forward to showing off my latest range of bags and hand towels. If you're heading to the Winter Racing Carnival at Eagle Farm on 5 June, why not stop by St Augustine's on Racecourse Road to check out some of the fantastic handcrafted goodies created by members of the BrisStyle team.

The market runs from 9am to 2pm - here's just a little sample of the talented artists, crafters and artisans who will be selling their wares at the market.

Getting Inked - new tattoo-inspired bags

Introducing my new range of upstyled messenger bags, each inspired by a popular tattoo design - from hearts and roses to skulls and crossbones, there's something for every lover of ink.  These bags will be available soon in my Etsy shop or check them out in person at the BrisStyle Indie Designers Market on 5 June at Hamilton.  Here's a little preview, with more styles on the way soon!

Great night at the BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market

Last night I attended my first market in many, many years and what a great time I had!

Lots of fabulous BrisStylers with their gorgeous handmade treasures, lots of shoppers, great music - what more could I ask for??

Thanks to everyone who gave me their ideas for my display - I decided to make my upstyled army bags the centrepiece of the display but the hanging hand towels were certainly the star attraction last night. I'll be re-thinking my layout for the next market, when I'll have a lot more room to play with.

Anyhoo, I promised a set of hanging hand towels for my April competition..... and the winner (selected by a random draw) is.... CARMEL, who made comment number five and wisely nominated the towels to be the featured product.  Congratulations Carmel, I'll contact you directly to discuss your prize.

I'll pop back in a couple of days with details of Kerri's Hangups' May competition.
