girl friday 27 april

a bonus part of running a blog is having a reading list that regularly updates me on my favourite craft and design blogs.

this week i have been drooling over the finders keepers markets held recently in melbourne www.thefinderskeepers.com.

check out the beautiful ceramic wares, jewellery and inspiring fabric home wares that were on show at the market on julia atkinson's www.studiohomeonline.com.  julia is wanaka based and has her fingers on the pulse of creative talent from downunder.  inspiring stuff!
