Billycart Markets Launch Giveaway!

Billycart Markets are having their launch market next Saturday. As I am going to be there I thought I would kick it off with a giveaway :)

Edit: Postage is of course also included in the prize + overseas bloggers are more than welcome to enter :)

Red or Blue?

Blue set includes - bracelet, ring and hairties
Red set includes - bracelet, ring and hairflower

It's super easy to enter - I would love for you to leave me a comment telling me what you would love to see at handmade markets AND for an extra entry please just add yourself as a follower to my blog (It will pay off as I will be having more giveaways in the future)

Please let me know if you would like the red or the blue set and also if it is for an adult or a child - so that I can adjust the length.

Don't be shy, I know you are out there reading (or at least I hope so, lol). Start commenting now as the draw will be on Friday 26 March at 7pm (before the market in case you want to pick it up there if you are the winner).

Camera is alive!

You just don't know how much you miss your camera until you don't have it. All is good now and she's back in my snap happy hands. In the last post I told you I was going to show my purchase from Ivy Designs. Even though my daughter has lots of bags as you can see below (I love bags!)

I couldn't resist this gorgeous bag from Ivy Designs. It is the softest leather with gorgeous print inside. I know my daughter will love it but I have actually hidden it to give her as a present later on, maybe even for her birthday (not sure if I can wait that long, it's in December!).

Mathilda's Market in Paddington

Ok, even though I didn't have a stall at the market last Saturday I still went for a little peek. I am glad I did as I usually don't have time to walk around and see all the other beautiful stalls. I caught up with a few familiar faces. I took my camera with me but unfortunately it decided not to work so I had to make do with my phone, the photos aren't great. Check out the pics below.

Sarah from Gifts Created was there, we have been at a few markets together now. She had her fabulous new tree displaying all her gorgeous stuff.

Siobhann is another lovely stall holder that I have also been to a few markets with. She has really funky boys stuff. Her label is called Young Rockers. She doesn't have a website but if you want to contact her you can email her here!

After chasing Wynona down at someone else's table we had a bit of a catch up which was nice. I had to get in on the photo action and I also managed to get a photo of Mr Ivy Designs! The only purchase that I did on the day was from Ivy and I will show you as soon as I get my camera working.

Another stall holder without a website that i keep popping into is Alicia. She makes adorable wall art for children. You can contact her here.

I also met someone new (for me anyway) that I had a bit of a chat with, Vanessa from gelati art, who makes lovely decor for boys and girls.

Happy customers!

I thought i'd show you some happy Melei customers. I'll start off with this handsome guy looking fab in Melei shorts. I met his lovely mother Andrea at Allie's Attic back in December last year. Andrea has an on-line boutique for babies and children. Check out her website and facebook page.

This cutie is the daughter of a great friend of mine in Sweden. She is a perfect little model!

Gorgeous twin boys in the same but different :) and a super cutie rocking a Melei skirt with matching singlet!

If you have bought anything from me I would love to see photos with them in action. Please email me at meleifashion@optusnet.com.au and please let me know if it is ok for me to feature them on the blog or my website. I will never mention names.

New dress in the shop

Tried to take some photos of one of my new dresses today. My daughter wasn't thrilled so I said that she could just goof around (she normally does anyway, lol) and this is what we got. My little cutie. The dress is in the shop.

Back in action

Ok, I haven't really been on holiday for this long, just got a little lazy when I got back. Did go to Bondi market on Sunday. Was a good day but super sticky and hot. Most people were at the beach (don't blame them) but there were a few people browsing the market.

I have finally put a few things in my shop (more to be added during the week) and halterneck dresses are on sale at the moment. I only have a handful so if you want one go there now, lol.

Had a wonderful holiday with my family. We went to Tasmania, Gold Coast and Canberra. First one was beautiful, second one was hot and relaxing and the third one was really interesting (Questacon and War Memorial). My family have now gone back to Sweden and -18c! It took my mum 2 hours to dig the car out (she'd been away for 6 weeks).

I will get a few snapshots from the holiday organised in the next couple of days.

Good to be back :)
