CATNIP

Last night was such a fun night, Camilla Nicholls  Exhibition Opening went fabulously  well, we packed in around 35 guests, who enjoyed themselves as much as we did!

Camilla's parents-Sandra and Richard-got behind the evening with a great spread of nibblies and a heartfelt speech by Camilla's proud dad. (and so he should be, this girl is GOLD!!)

A pleasure to have such a lovely family evening, plus the support of friends and family, and to top the night off, we got home just in time to catch 'Midsomer Murders"!!!!!

I'll post pics soon.....................

TIME TO GET CRACKING..............

I've been steadily setting up my stall at the Ballarat Mill Market..........


The pair of club chairs and the funky vinyl couch,together with Lysette's "Lounge Linen" cushions


Beige Bar, soda syphon, lamp


Groovy little record player and one green bottle...

next door to THE MATMOS LOUNGE


Today I visited the Ballarat Mill Market with my sister.

The Dear Prudence Stall is located next door to Tashi's 'MATMOS LOUNGE' which stocks gorgeous bags, purses, softies, and clothing- inspired by 60'S styles, and original  60's fabrics.

When Tashi has stocked her stall full, she will have available some of the same at Dear Prudence in Sturt Street.

MATMOS LOUNGE also has great knitted gloves, hats and heaps more- oh clothing too, made by Tashi!
