Sacred Starburst Heart brooch in Etsy Treasury!

It's not often that an Etsy treasury gets me really excited. For those of you who don't know what a treasury is, its a collection of Etsy creations from various makers curated by another Etsian. They can be really lovely and they are certainly a buzz to be included in.  But the themes while always nice and always well curated are themes you just fall into - this one by the folks at FolkHeartRecords had me thinking about just how vibrant and creative the curators in Etsy can be!

The challenge:  There is a secret message behind this treasury that will wake you up, make you smile and want to share the day.... click to see the treasury and comment if you can figure it out!

This little Rabbit is going to the markets!

That's right! Shiny rabbit has new market dates set - new stock will be at each market so you can expect to see something different from us with each visit.  It's worth visiting us as often products are introduced at special prices before heading onto our Etsy shop front so pick up a wonderful object from us at one of these markets!

NEW!! Vegan Wrist Cuffs!

Pagoda Blossom Cuff - Blossom Pink

We have a wonderful new product we are adding to our range.  Its a range of wrist cuffs made from vinyl and acrylic felts - no leather, no wool... just the way we like it!  We always prefer to use non animal products where and when we can.

There are a couple of designs at this stage and more to come.  They will retail at a special introductory price starting at $20 for a Tweety Cuff to $26 for a Pagoda Blossom Cuff.  The blossom pink one shown here was a gift to the people who sold us our dear Crazy Ivan Laser machine. We added this cuff into the package with their generous purchase of our products to showcase in a upcoming trade show in the US in February!

Shiny Surprises!

Wellard Markets - what can I say!  OK it was a really nice day - the customers were far and few but everyone had the same customer base.  But what I really loved about the day were the people we knew who came by, some to see us and some just by accident and it ended up being a wonderful family & friends day!  Worth the stall fee on its own.

Wellard Markets January - click for larger image - again the layout is a bit limited by wind (such a windy town! :)

We had some wonderful feedback about the new products and as a result we have applied for William St festival Markets and Unwrapped Designer Market and are very excited about the prospect of attending those!
