What an absolutely fantastic time we all had at The Handmade Show in Perth on Sunday.
The event was really well organised with a fantastic variety of talented people exhibiting.
The Concert Hall made a wonderful venue with lots of light and an ambient atmosphere. Plenty of space as well.
I met up with a few online friends at the show including Alison of Alison Moore Designs, Rebecca from Songbead, Sally from Soul Silver, Tracey from Fat Cat Felt, Audrey from Prettyful and Rachel from Beauelle.
Alison took this photo of me at my stall. I have to say I was not feeling at all well. I came down with a cold on Friday and was really unwell all day on Saturday. I got to the show in good time to set up on Sunday morning though but once the doors opened I never stopped! Thankfully Carol, two stands along came to my rescue by getting me some hot water for a Lemsip and a cup of tea later on.
I completely sold out of my printed cards and nearly sold all my brooches.
My new resin hearts were very popular, especially this purple design below.
I have spent most of today listing new pieces in my Etsy and Folksy shops (as well as recovering!) so do take a peek to see if there is anything you fancy.
If you click on the photos they will take you to each individual listing.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and to all my customers old and new.
It was really lovely to meet people who actually visit my blog here! We never really know who is finding us online and it's always lovely to meet people in person.
I sold a couple of my boxes this weekend and last but I still have these two available.
The brooches were a big hit and I will have to get busy making more.
Here are a few that are still available.
This week I have a batch of sheep and heart pendants going out to a lovely new shop in Glasgow called Lemon Pomm-Pomm.
You can find the Facebook page for the shop here and keep up to date with what's new.
My new textile pendants and cuffs certainly attracted a lot of attention. One lady loved this purple shade so much she bought a cuff and put it on there and then!
Most of my pictures will be going out to stockists over the next couple of weeks but I have kept a few back.
I'm not sure what I will be working on next. I HAVE to spend some time tidying up as it's getting to the point where I can't find anything. I also have some new ideas that I am desperate to try out.
Thanks again to Dawn and everyone else who helped make the first ever Handmade Show a great success.

I'm so glad you were successful at the show but, sorry you were poorly!
I do love your wares,I think it's the heathery/purple colours that I go for too!
Have a relaxing week,

Lovely stall! I'd probably faint with excitement if I saw all your goodies displayed live :)
Your stall looked lovely, wish I could have come
Sorry you were feeling poorly, but glad it went well. Your stand looks gorgeous.
So sweet pendants and boxes. Wish I could have come.
Thank you for all your comments. Still feeling a little under the weather but better than I was. Biba, your comment made me laugh out loud : )
