Wonderful markets and my cupboard!!

Well what a few weeks it has been for Poppy & Lulu!! Firstly a mini market for some of the lovely Karratha mums to grab some home grown goodies at. It was such a wonderful few hours- Karratha definitely has some talent out there!!





Then was the big millars well markets we had in 40 degree heat!!But it was all worth it- such a successful day. It was great to meet new people and hear the great feedback from the locals- a real treat :) Lucy this time stayed with her daddy in the aircon with regular trips for a little feed!!





I absolutely LOVE markets- I can't wait to do more!! 

With Poppy & Lulu getting bigger and slightly bigger, one needs more materials! And where does one put her materials!! In a icky brown cupboard up cycled to a marvellous off white cupboard with some swish green flower door knobs- thats right!!!




She fits everything in perfectly...for now at least :)
Of to now play with an almost crawling, teething bub :)
I can't leave without putting a recent photo of Lucy up though. Here she is at her swimming lessons and she loves the water.


Until next time..

Poppy & Lulu are on Facebook!!!

What a busy few weeks I have had!!! We have just got back from being in Perth for a few weeks and geez did I stock on fabric or what :) As Poppy & Lulu were successful at the last markets I have decided to do the last few markets here in Karratha before christmas and before it gets too hot to do anything. So I have found more fabric to make rings, earrings and hair clips out of to keep me going for ages :) I also have had plenty of more ideas of what I can make and sell- but one step at a time as I have a tendency to overdo the work load :) 

Here is a sneak peak of the material that I have bought- all beautiful material from the ever lovely Calico & Ivy in Mosman Park!!




As the title suggests Poppy & Lulu are now on Facebook!! I have been so overwhelmed with the positive feedback and all the people who like my facebook page- it's such an inspiration to keep going and make such wonderful things for everyone, it really puts a smile on my face :) I absolutely love doing this- finally I have found something that I'm really passionate about and really enthusiastic to want to do. I just hope that I can continue with my Poppy & Lulu journey as I never want it too end !!

Here are a few photos of custom orders I have done for some beautiful customers of mine :) It has been so much fun to do:





I also have to share the amazing things that I found at the local ( well in perth anyway) Melville carpark markets that run every sunday morning. I love markets and fossicking through others people so called trash to find my treasures :) This is what I found- One polka dot dress, a floral top and a floral shirt, a pair of Tony Bianco heels and a basket to carry it all in- LOVE!! And all for $15.


And to finish off for today I have included a photo of Olive who is my mum, dad and sisters new little kitten who is just adorable!! She found my ring and it was her new toy for ages :) And of course a Lucy shot.




Love Dani xx
