Those two sock monkeys are special gifts for Miss Muffet and Mr Magoo who brighten my life and make everyday an adventure, giggles, loud music, lollies, screaming like a banchee and oh so much more.
The rest are little inspiring moments in Coco's this morning. I will be closed from the 25th til the 28th of December, after that I will be instore Tuesday til Sunday from 10am- coffee in hand.
I hope you all have a supercalafreaking awesome Christmas. I plan too.
See you on the flipside.
This is where we like to spend my day off from the shop. Usually I would don the togs but yesterday I had much to draw and colour so I supervised whilst colouring. The result was completion of 18 beautiful hand drawn, coloured and written on bunting. Quite chuffed with that and with the season bearing down at breakneck speed now I only have a little baking and wrapping left to do!! Yay!
It is indeed too late at night for me to prattle on too much, but here are a couple of snaps of the Artist Market on Sunday. It was a great day, lots of Christmas shoppers and with the twilight market Thursday the 17th just over week away I best get to work. Make, sew, draw, stitch, colour.............
Coco's is full of Indie goodness at the mo.
Local Indie artist Vicki Linn has two works adorning my walls. They look magic!
I have been folding paper cranes and turning them into mobiles and on the bottom they say "I wish you peace" in French.
Just recieved deliveries from Rummage, crowns ( see we'll eat you up- from the Wild Things of course), peggies and smashing vintage tea towel cushions. All deliciously different if your looking for wonderful Christmas presents. And another delivery from the queen of Indie Boardies- no mass produced, run of the mill here, no sirre. Wicked fabrics is ALL Miss Miffy uses - come in and check them out!
Such a productive day... 12 bath tea bags, they smell divine, filled with lavender from my garden
....12 large cards for the store
12 friendship teas, 10 lots of inspirational bunting , 20 lunch box lovin' cards, 4 new singlets,
and some candy cane mice...and the day's not over yet!!
Sky rockets in flight......afternoon delight.... look what my Mum found me on her recent road trip out to Blayney and surrounds. Apparently there is a few groovy wee little shops in the village of Milthorpe- all of which Vicki, Sue and Sharon can sniff out from miles away!! True die hard shoppers indeed.
The first is an old French book- so very cool, if only I could read French without my iphone, I may have to phone a friend on this one. The second is an amazingly old undrawn in sketch book with an awesome Elk on the back. My dilemma Shall I draw in it??? I so want too BUT it is just beautiful and oooh so old.......................what to do, what to do......
see what I mean.
Sky rockets in flight...
I can finger knit...
thanks to receiving the latest edition of Mixtapezine which is of course now instore, there is a little tutorial on how to teach your child to finger knit and because Mr.Magoo and Miss.Muffet are becoming regular sales staff at Coco's Closet we require cool little projects that are doable for the two of them. Here's what I did, bit happy with that.
We'll wait and see how the sales staff handle the class. I'll keep you posted.
ooooh just remembered I added a couple of things to my made it store this afternoon. Wander over here to check it out otherwise swing on in Wednesday to Sunday from 10am. shop 1/64 Wharf st, Forster is where you will find me.
Finally I found tools to carve the way cool stamp blocks I got from Dudley Redhead at the show. And wacko whadya know I can carve stamps. So here's my reindeer bonus for you if you swing on into to Coco's Closet I can gift wrap all your christmas purchases (purchases from Coco's of course).
Here's our snow globe... I quiet like it. What do you think?
