Our Adventures at the Marky Markets

Apologies for such a late post, being Thursday evening and all, but I'm sure you wouldn't mind me sharing a photo or two of the Marky Markets that were held on Sunday 15th August at the Hi Fi in West End, Brisbane.

I think next time I will make sure to take a LOT more photos of the whole market, stall holders and market goers. Sometimes it is just a bit too hard to drag myself away from the fun of stall-holding and take pics. Funny thing is, it's all too easy to spend a whole wodge of money on other fun things being sold by local creatives - especially if they are gorgeous fabrics and vintage buttons from Voodoo Rabbit and rad brooches by Polly Gone.

I was also having a great time sharing chit-chats with Svetlana of Lady Sveta and Amanda Whitelaw of Hungry Designs, not to mention sharing a quick little hello with Kiara Notaras and a few other stall holders who I am sorry I have forgotten the names of.

(Oh and I must mention the wonderfully fun chill-times and conversation with 'the boy', Mister Thomas Griffin, stall-buddy extraordinaire.)

Suitcase Rummage Re-cap!

Wowee! What an eventful week I've had! How are you all? Did you end up coming along to the Suitcase Rummage?

It was such a wonderful day - I met new people, spotted my friends and had chats (or, rather, they spotted me as I was wearing my brightest, pink-est 60's dress!) bought some things, sold some things and generally had a ball.

I promise not to waffle on as I have to get cracking on hand-stitching some embroidered badges for next Sunday's market (Marky Markets at Hifi in West End, 15th August 11-5pm).

Psst! Become a fan of Pannikin on Facebook - there are tonnes more photos and regular posts to keep you up to date and in the know!

Marky Markets Wrap Up

Greetings and salutations!

It's been a while since my last post but I think I have a pretty good reason - I got to do my market stall at the Marky Markets last Sunday! Wee!

I have spent the past two weeks or so madly creating, packaging and all the little odds and ends that come along with preparing for a market stall, in between almost-full-time work and spending time with friends. How I manage to eat anything I don't know, I sure know I don't get much sleep though! It feels great to be busy though.

A big thank-you goes out to the organisers, the stall holders, the helpers and (how could I not forget!) you guys! Without you, Pannikin would not be what it is today, or what it could become down the track.

Merci beaucoup, mon cheries!

Marky Markets

Fingers crossed, people!

I've been having a bit of trouble lately with getting days off work to participate in various markets.
From now on I am prepared to fight long and hard for my right to skip work and flog my handmade wares to the Brisbane public, since completely missing out on last Sundays Suitcase Rummage (save for a super quick lunchbreak-chat with fellow stallholders, including my housemate Tess of A Beautiful Calamity, who kindly offered to sell my badges while I worked for the man)

Therefore, I kindly request that you all join me in super-tight-finger-crossing that I can have my own stall at the next Marky Markets market. Phew! Tongue twister!

Marky Markets are all about vintage and handmade everything. The last market was at the Boundary Hotel in West End, but has since confirmed a new location - The HiFi in West End and is expected to be bigger and better!

The details:

What: Marky Markets
Entry: Free
Where: HiFi - West End
When: Sunday 18th July 2010
Time:11am - 5pm

PS. If you are keen to have a stall, shoot them a quick email before all the places are snapped up! It's bound to be a whole lot of fun.
