tiny happy

Thank you for your kind support over the weekend with regards to my table at the Auckland Art and Craft Fair. It was an amazing event, and I loved getting to meet blog readers and fellow crafters in person. So, thank you for coming and visiting me, if you did. It was very nice to make your acquaintance.

One of the highlights for me was getting to see my fellow NZ craft-blogger friends, including Heleen, Ellie, Jenny and Louana . And, shopping of course. I bought some Christmas presents, as well as some decorations for our tree this year (they are pictured above, made by the sweet Flossy's Fancy.) And I was able to meet Barb and Isaac of Spirocreations, after admiring their handmade shoes for a while on etsy. So that was pretty great. They have recently arrived in NZ from Winnipeg, Canada, and make beautiful leather goods. We did a trade, and I scored three little keepsake bags. I had a feeling that my kids would be into them and I was right about that. They are heavily obsessed with rocks and stones and have been buying crystals, etc from markets for a couple of years now. They also have an extensive collection of other natural artifacts, such as shark's teeth and sea urchins and shells. So these pouches are perfect for carrying such things around every day. (And I think my pouch makes a cool grown-up necklace.) 

I hope you had a good weekend. See you again tomorrow.
