Christmas Markets 2011

The Eucalypt Homewares Studio has been in a constant state of making madness over the last few weeks, in preparation for the upcoming Christmas markets. We are looking forward to showcasing the latest bowls and plates, decorations and adorns at these fabulous events.

Perth Upmarket Sunday 27th November @ UWA 10am-4pm Perth Upmarket brings together over 150 of Perth's talented artists, designers, stylists, craftspeople and gourmets all under one roof. The product mix is diverse ranging from handmade clothing, cupcakes, wall art, cards, homewares, jewellery to skin care products. The market allows Perth shoppers who appreciate the handmade to connect with the talented creators. Eucalypt Homewares will be located in the usual spot in the Undercroft of Winthrop Hall.

Fremantle Bazaar Bazaar at Fremantle Arts Centre is your annual slice of pre-Christmas shopping heaven on earth, taking place again this year from 2-4 December. Established in 1985, Bazaar is the foremost event of its kind in WA for high quality locally made wares. Bazaar remains the best pre-Christmas market for goods made by local artists, designers and makers of Perth's finest fashion, jewellery, textiles, homewares and more. Shop under the stars on Friday night and enjoy the beautiful garden setting throughout the days on Saturday and Sunday. Fremantle Bazaar 2010 Eucalypt Homewares will be joining forces with Old Grey House and Robin Wells Jewellery under the stall name Clay Cloth Metal.This unique and beautiful stall can be found up the stairs in the upper deck, near the payment tent and food stalls.

Markets

Thank you to everyone who visited me at Perth Upmarket and Fremantle Bazaar.

Here are a few photos taken at the two markets...
This is Tanya Cain-Abbs from Old Grey House and me at Fremantle Bazaar on our "Clay & Cloth" stall. We had a lovely few days selling our wares at the relaxed and beautiful Fremantle Art Centre.

Perhaps I should have also taken a photo of the stall on Sunday afternoon, as there was not much left!

These photos where taken at the Perth Upmarket. It was a very warm day, but that didn't stop the Christmas shoppers. My decorations sold like hot cakes and so did my new Floral Ware. It is so nice to get the immediate feedback from people buying my work from the markets. It is very affirming :)

A special thank you to Justine from Perth Upmarket and Marcus from Fremantle Bazaar.

Bazaar 09

Two entries in one day! I thought last week was busy, but at least I still had time to blog about it! This week has been so crammed full of studio time that if it wasn't for my husband and daughter helping around the house, things would be in a bad way around here! I managed to finish the reports for school, produce another 200 Christmas decorations, have my hair cut, attend the playgroup committee wind up, finish the Ardross tiles, grout the pre-primary tiles (with some mums from school), glaze and fire the pre-primary angels, re-number work for bazaar (thanks to mum), set up for Bazaar, spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Bazaar, string up 200 decorations (up to 1am Friday night with David), throw, turn and handle 39 mugs and and and... Anyway here are some photos of the bazaar set up.
