March Suitcase Rummage

Last Sunday was the March Suitcase Rummage.
Up outside the Casino again, it was a really great day. I had my mum on one side, Sarah on the other and lots of visitors throughout the day who dropped in and hung out.

Mum with her new goodies.

I sold 3 papercuttings which I was really happy with and a whole heap of clothes and second-hand stuff.

These two girls looked at my papercuttings and decided that they wanted one each but didn't want to buy them for themselves (one was 'You're pretty fucking fabulous'). So they bought them for each other then handed them over and said 'Act surprised!'
It's people like this that make my day.

Rummage is such a great spot to get rid of unwanted clothes or even find amazing new items. Last Sunday was the first rummage I went to and didn't buy anything! I was so proud of myself.


Meanwhile, tonight I tidied my frame pile and counted them. 42 frames ready and waiting for papercuttings. That should keep me very busy for awhile!

Inspired and excited

I had a really great weekend full of friends, markets and lots of sun and heat.
It was a scorcher in Brisbane and I spent two days sitting in the sun hawking my wares.

Friday was a fantastic day at Laneway.

My goods for sale.

Seeing if anything has melted in the sun. Direct sunlight for 4 hours in Brisbane Summer is not good for photos.

Two Door Cinema Club. So freaking awesome.

My festival buddy.

Great way to keep cool in the heat!

Yesterday was the first Sunday of the month so we grabbed our suitcases and headed into the city for Suitcase Rummage. Despite the heat (again) and a pretty decent hangover, I had a lovely day chilling with good friends. I managed to spend most of my profits during the day but that's part of what I love about rummage.

Looking forward to next month!

All for the puppies!

I've received an exciting email this evening about future prospects for my art and I will share once I know more. Positive feedback always inspires!

It's a rummaging weekend

Yesterday I had a stall as part of Suitcase Rummage at St Jerome's Laneway Festival.
Photos forthcoming!

Hi to all the wonderful people that I met!
I had a really great day. The only downer was the relentless sun beating right down on me but to make up for it I met lots of lovely people, had some awesome Nachos, chilled with some very cool people and listened to great bands!
I came home sweaty, exhausted and very happy.

And in other exciting news, tomorrow is the first Suitcase Rummage of 2011!

February 6th
REDACLIFFE PLACE 266 George Street Brisbane City

Have a great Saturday!

P.S. Pop over and see what Laura is going to have for sale tomorrow. All her profits are going to the Fairfield RSPCA. Isn't she amazing!

Last rummage of twenty-ten

Last Sunday was the final rummage for this year. While it was not the best I've had it was a really nice day of mum's, visitors, handmade dresses and cute teenage girls.

I definitely didn't make a lot of money (especially after I discovered the handmade vintage dresses a couple of stalls up) but I got some lovely comments on my art.

Plus I got to sit next to my mum, the lovely Laura and eat display cupcakes.

{Laura's stall - that you and me in the gold frame is so freaking adorable!}

I'm looking forward to the first rummage of 2011 on February 6 at good old King George Square. I'll be there with lots of new goodies!

Getting ready to rummage

I'm so grateful for my friends. I have some freaking awesome people in my life. So I've started doing some pieces inspired by them.

Maybe they will remind you of your best friends and how fucking fabulous they are.

All pieces will be available at Suitcase Rummage Sunday 5th December at King George Square. Don't forget Christmas is coming!

Available soon

I am working on paper-cuttings and cards for the December 5th Suitcase Rummage at King George Square.
There will be several new works available including lots of new cards.
The following pictures will all feature along with lots of Christmas cards!

Can't wait for the last rummage before Christmas. My mum will be selling along with me, come and say hi!

Best Rummage Ever

November rummage was on today and for this month only it was held at the top of the mall in between the Casino and the library. It was a brilliant spot, apart from no cover and the threat of rain early in the day but that cleared up and from then on it was a great day. There was a lot more space and it gave people more chance to look at what was on sale.







Laura's beautiful goodies on sales.
Sarah did really well with lots of clothes, shoes and handbags.

I took my cards for the first time and did really well. I was so happy with the reception and the feedback I got. I came home so excited to a very proud boyfriend!


I sold five paper-cuttings and got another commission which I will fulfill this week. I am bursting with ideas and can't wait to get working on some pieces for December.

Sarah, Laura and I had visitors all day. It's fun having different people drop in throughout the day.

Hi Miss Morgan!

My absolute favourite part of rummage is talking to all the amazing people. Brisbane is a cool town full of inspiring people.
