Mad Tea 2013 We are so late.

Oh my goodness where has the time gone? Like the White Rabbit himself we are frantically running around with a pocket watch, crying we are late, we are late for a very important date and yet not doing much more about it .

We are so behind on our Tea Party Prepartaions for this years Mad Tea Party hosted by the fantabulous Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist , so whilst we polish up the china we thought you might like to visit out past tea parties.

We are off getting our Tea Party Trailer ready for our next real life event and at this rate we will be ready for next year, because now I have to go and Visit Mad Tea Parties all over the World and have a thoroughly lovely time.

Thank you for stopping by to visit, you are welcome any time.

Back on the bike.

I think I am back on the bike, so to speak, I don't think you shall be seeing me actually riding a bike for a long time unless of course there is some sort of wager involving money, then you might see me.

The year has flown by so fast in a flurry of markets and creating and shopkeeping and I have hardly time to draw breath.

This past weekend we did two markets, handmade redcliffe on Saturday afternoon and The Handmade Expo Market Morayfield on Sunday.

Our Sunday market was an outside market and it was the first outside market we had done is while. It was an extremely warm Winter's day, so much so I was done to the very last layer of clothing that I had on and my face was this sort of fluorescent glowing red...but I couldn't stop, I had displays to set up.

As usual I had all these display ideas in my head and even as I am creating a piece I am thinking what other pieces it will go with in a display.

It is a pity my darling husband can not see inside my head, that would make life so much easier, lol.

He and our children did a fabulous job of repainting our little trailer and it made everything look so good.

( Mary Monday was our helper for the day).

The lovely thing about the Handmade Redcliffe market was we went from bright sunshine to a lovely crisp night and we got to have our fairy lights and my portable chandelier and they looked so magical.

These images are all from that market as I literally took hundreds of photos (not all them are completely in focus,(despite my camera's constant remind me that  my hands were shaking, that doesn't really help).

I had so much fun putting these bits together and if only I didn't need to sleep I would have got so much more done too...they will have to wait until next time. :)

(I love my wrapped up bike, it was a lot of fun to do...took a while but was fun.)

 

I hope you enjoy my little photos,
