Recap: Cheap Frills Bazaar

I just want to keep this post nice and short, as I am actually supposed to be working on my TAFE assessment (but it is a wee bit boring and hey, blogging is super fun, a little addictive and I like to live by one of Sheryl Crow's most well know lines, "If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad'.)

Me wearing my favourite white dress, which was actually purchased at the last bazaar and had not been worn since, as I have been looking for the perfect occassion to bring it out to play. Do you save your favourite purchases for particluar events you have in mind?
The 'sweet-as-apple-pie' Sarah, holding up one of the vintage dresses (which makes me think of The Virgin Suicides) Tess was selling on the night.

My wonderful housemate and friend, Tess. She shared a stall with me on the night, selling some of her vintage and retro finds, plus a whole assortment of cute bits and bobs.

A few of my handmade accessories.

Stylish shoppers.

Sarah, one of the girls behind Cheap Frills.

It seems that a lot of people liked the Zoology Brooches - firm favourites were the little rabbits, the owl, deer and mushroom.

A market goer.

Closeup of badges that I created using cut outs from old sewing patterns and a 1940's annual girls book.

Lovely brown leather heels I picked up for $10. They are a little small but I'm sure this won't bother me too much in Winter.

Funky blue and white heels. These were $15. I'm not too sure why I bought these, as I am quite sure they won't really go with anything in my wardrobe but they fit well and looked like fun so I thought, 'Why not?'. The best thing about these two shoes is that they don't need to be re-soled or re-heeled. Boy, that sure is a pain! (And slightly expensive, too.)

Delilah Devine

Do you know who, or rather, what is devine? Delilah Devine, of course.

I was absolutely delighted to stumble upon this label of loveliness while trawling Etsy using the 'pounce' feature. Linda, the owner and creator of Delilah Devine sells what can only be described as downright sweet brooches, which are laser cut from wood and topped off with a layer of vintage wallpaper, which is all handcut in her studio.


The little girl brooch above is a firm favourite of mine, although all the other designs are just as splendid. Think a variety of birds and a teacup brooch, all perfect for an afternoon tea with friends, or your dear Nanna.


On a quick little side-note, Linda will be selling her work at the Bowerbird Bazaar at the end of March. I have been told that the bazaar is a fabulous design market that has recently started up in Adelaide and as their website explains, 'Bowerbird Bazaar provides a dynamic and upmarket environment where local and interstate designers, artists and craftspeople are proud to showcase and promote their work'. Sounds good, yes?

Ciao! Sayonara! Adios!

Jessica, a darling friend of mine, has moved away to live in Melbourne. Although I have only known her a short while, she is just such a great person to be around. A few of her friends and I met up last weekend for a picnic, but sadly it was a little rainy so we decided to hang out at a cafe instead. It was a little sad at the end, saying goodbye, but I will be visiting her and some other Melbourne friends in a few months time. But you know what else is cool? I have a new person to send letters and little presents too through the mail! Yay!

Anyway, here are a few snapshots from the afternoon - you may notice that all of her friends have such great style and are very into vintage, not to mention they are as cute as buttons!

Also, Jessica has a very cute blog, 'Pigeons Look Silly When They Walk'.
My first tote bag design features an illustration of a pigeon wearing a top hat and monocle, which was partly inspired by her and her blog. I really do love pigeons. I love how they coo, how they walk (it never fails to crack me up) and how the boy pigeons do little dances to woo the girl pigeons. When I walk through the city, look at them and smile.
