New things

It's always so exciting when we make new things...

Pippy really is the brains behind this one... and the patience to create them all so lovingly.

Not only are they all different, right down to their skin colour and hair colour, they are so lovely to look at, I just wish I had a girly whirl of my own to share her with. The boys said "Oh wow Mum! They are fantastic! Really nice. I like her, no... I like her the best... oh it is soooo hard to choose..." but then they turned around and ran away to play with a ball.

I don't really understand about balls and boys. It is so strange how they can kick and throw and catch and kick and throw and catch and kick and throw and catch all bleeding day. I can't do it! I really can't. I tried once, but it completely does my head in... I am constantly having conversations with myself about what I should be doing right now. It is so hard to stay on task with a ball...

Anyway, these lovely little dollies were a hit at the markets and I can understand why... I remember my paper dolls... In fact, I still have my paper dolls... I will take a photo of them this weekend and post a picture of a REAL VINTAGE paper doll... fancy that... I had not made the connection between mine and these... wow.

Kingscliff Market

We had two little helpers at last weekend’s market at Kingscliff.

Here are the feet of one . . .

The early, early morning (out of bed at 3:15 am)

and all the excitement were just too much by lunchtime,

so they made up a bed under the table and attempted to have a sleep!

It was a breezy warm day and we were lucky enough to be placed under the shade of a tree.

We ventured over to the beach

and collected pebbles and shells and waded in the water.

There were holes in the sand where the sand crabs were seeking refuge.

We found a heart shaped rock, smoothed by the waves.

Back at the market a large cat was playing a violin dancing on his back legs.  

There was a lot to see and do.

If we saw you there – Hello again

the Casual Stallholder List and would love to go back!
