HAPPY FESTIVE SEASON & ONE LAST MARKET in 2010!

Dear Friends

For those last minute presents, wanted to let you know about the Coledale Twilight Xmas Market. It will be on this Wednesday 22nd 2-8pm at Coledale Primary School on Lawrence Hargave Drive. Will be sharing a stall with Lesley Knapp who will have her absolutely gorgeous, nature-inspired prints on offer.

I will have the Punk Clown range of kids' streetwear and the Rainbow Fruit and Vege Bags. They make great gifts and there are over 40 new unique and funky items in the Punk Clown range.

A chance to pick up some local, handmade pressies that your family and friends will love!

Sending best wishes to you all for a fun and festive holiday season, a very happy new year and an amazing 2011! Thanks for all your support for this sustainable enterprise in 2010. Will be back with more goodies in 2011.

Am also including a photo of my adorable great niece and nephews giving out the pressies and celebrating Christmas early last weekend - Josh, Mikala, Zane, Koby and Tennyson. They make Christmas so much fun and love them to pieces!!!

Until 2011!

To make it a Handmade Xmas in 2010 come down and visit us this weekend at the Handmade with Love Markets! Would be great to see you there.

Love Lee

Under the Blue Moon Market Report

Had a fantastic day at Under the Blue Moon Markets where Sydney Goths came out to parade and party. So many amazing looks! Took some photos to show you but this is just a glimpse of what was on offer. What a creative crowd!

The Punk Clown range had its first "celebrity customer" with Tara Moss buying Shrug Punk for an expected little one. She talked about the launch of her latest book "The Blood Countess" which was happening the following day to coincide with Halloween. See www.taramoss.com for details.

Next market will be the Handmade Market happening at Wollongong Harbour on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th November. Will be back with more details and some pics of the eco handmade Xmas range that will be on offer.

Until then!
