The Handmade Show is only 2 days away and EP Designs will be there.
The venue will be full of gorgeous wares hand crafted by creative artisans & crafters.
Come along for an enjoyable day. Browse the stalls and then relax at Cafe Handmade where the menu is tempting & yum.
Saturday August 18th
10.30am – 3.30pm
St. Anthony’s Parish Hall
164 Neerim Rd, Glen Huntly, Melbourne.
Don’t worry if the weather turns bad – it’s an indoor market.
It’s a great feeling knowing there’s a great team of dedicated workers who are using their talents & skills and giving their time to build up a successful show. The Handmade Show committee members are workers, parents, artists and crafters (mostly a combination of each), yet they give their precious time to help organise and build up a boutique style market … to make a dream become reality; to give an opportunity to the exhibit & sell extraordinary creative works; to offer benefits to the community as a not-for-profit organisation.
This is not an easy task but it is an exciting one especially when you can see progress. Karen from MooBee Tees (and a committee member) says –
I’m proud to say that our baby is no longer crawling, and is now walking :0)
I must also give a big Thank You to Karen, Bobbie, Samone, Jade, Kerri and Regina – we’ve still got lots to do but the job that’s been done so far is fabulous.
Roses, vintage images & beautiful things are just some of the many things that I love.
Today we are celebrating Pink Saturday’s 2nd Birthday so I decided to go into my Pink Saturday archives and dig out some of those gorgeous things I’ve shared since my first Pink post in June 2009.
Good china always helps make a celebration special. This teapot and tureen are so richly ornate – don’t they make you feel you’re in a grand palace in France?
The next item I found was one of my recreated pieces. The roses you can see on the plate of the compote are decoupaged onto a motley background of pink, green and pale yellow.
I rather like the idea of filling the compote with delicious chocolates……. then eating them all with the excuse that you need to see the roses 😉
A pretty gift for the party …. a tiny, cute tassel adds more prettiness to the fluffy organza gift bag.
I think you’ll agree that roses are a favourite, so here is a lovely pink one for you.

If I didn’t procrastinate so much then I’m sure these Fluffy Fancies would have been complete & ready for their ‘photo shoot’….. or maybe I shouldn’t admit to this? 😮
Welcome to Pink Saturday!
Seeing I won’t be taking part in Pink Saturday for a couple of weeks I’ve decided to show you what I’ve been working on anyway….. My Fluffy Fancy Pin Cushions
My collection of old & worn silverware includes these liqueur/sherry stem goblets which have been painted & given some gold antiquing.
I’ve added a big handful of craft stuffing contained within a covering of crushed panne velvet, to form a round ball for the a pin cushion. The cushion & beaded fringing are fixed firmly onto the goblets …. but the lace & feathery embellishments are only pinned into place at the moment. The look may change slightly when I eventually finalise these trims.
So far the above design is my favourite, but I have more designs on the go – these will all be available for sale as soon as they’re finished.

Welcome to Pink Saturday!
It’s exciting to get back into Pink Saturday. For those of you who pop in frequently, you will notice I have a New Look blog. This coincides nicely with my 200th blog post…. So stay tuned for a celebration to mark these two events!
While doing my ‘on again – off again’ clean up around the garage & work area I organised a small collection of teapots. Some will need to be recreated & some are more of the ‘collecting’ type. I don’t have any newer recreations to show you so I fossicked through my photo archives to find one old teapot which was given a makeover a few year back.
Of course this can’t be used as a teapot but it can be used as a decorative piece. The teapot is more pink in colour than is showing up in the photo. In the above photo it’s sitting elegantly on a recreated tray.
Old teapots make charming vessels for beautiful blooms …. preferably the real kind though – don’t know what I was thinking when I took this photo, lol.
