Cottage Nerd will be returning to the Rose St Artist’s Market tomorrow for the first time in 2 years. Looking forward to a lovely Autumn Saturday.

It’s been a long time……

One of the reasons why I haven’t posted for absolutely ages is because my site has been inundated with spam……..now a bit of spam is annoying but a lot of spam is positively infuriating. So I’ve just done a clean out and changed settings so that hopefully it will abate.

Another reason is that I’ve branched out into a new venture with Bonnie Gravy. She and I are creating a new line of old stuff, up-cyled and restyled and slightly remodelled. We have called it Mona’s Wardrobe and we are launching it this Sunday at the Rose St Artists Market where we will be every second Sunday for the next couple of months. We will also be at the Blackbird Market in April.

Cottage Nerd has been a little neglected I must admit………but it won’t be for long as I have some plans in the pipeline and will keep you posted.

Rainy Sunday

Its very early in the morning and I am cleaning up my site, why? I’m up because I was going to the shirt and skirt market but its raining, and I just can’t see the point of going, in the rain to get me and my stock wet, and to not sell much at all. So I’m home…the kids will be happy. These cloth cameos are my new thing. I have some new skirts as well which I will post soon…….

Two New Things for the Sister’s Market this Saturday!

When I made the pinnies and edged them all around with handmade bias I was happy and proud, but then I stitched some doilies to this beautiful lustrous silk velvet and made them into scarves and I got a tingle up my spine.

Clear the Decks

This Weekend I am offering all my summer stock at the incredible price of $40

Everything must go to make way for winter stock so I have decided to slash the prices to get it moving quickly.

So this Saturday at the Sisters Market in the Brunswick Town Hall and the Shirt and Skirt Market at the Abbotsford Convent all my summer Stock will be reduced to $40

and everything else including my beautiful new Doilie Pocket Skirts will be $85

On-line interview

I did an online interview for the Modish Creators Market which they have published on their blog………

Crossing the River

This Saturday I am betraying my instincts by crossing the river to St Kilda for the Sister’s Market in the St Kilda Town Hall. Its a beautiful venue and should be a great day with market pals and a different crowd of market cruisers.

Had to put this one on……because I’m on it!

Pinny

I’ve got a few of these to try at the Northside Market and Shirt and Skirt this weekend. One size fits most.
