Merry Christmas

Its been a very busy year for Pili Pala Pieces with my products slowly taking off, and now I am even stocked in 2 shops!! Have a look at the ad for Funky Homes that was in the Mercury last Friday - thats me in the top right hand corner!! Who would have thought?! I am also pleased to announce that Content in Launceston is stocking my products too. I hope to be expanding my stockists, and product range, in the new year.

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas; thanks for all of your support throughout the year. I can't wait for what next year will bring, and I am especially looking forward to attending many of the markets that seem to never stop popping up around Hobart and beyond. All the best for Christmas; enjoy your break and time with family.
See you next year! xo

The Marvellous 'The Market'

With weary eyes and sore muscles I can happily report that 'The Market' on Sunday was an absolute, unmistakable, fantasmagorical success!!! Mirri and I started setting up at 8am (yawn!) on Sunday and were very pleased with how our stall ended up looking. It took a few minutes after 10am for the flood of people to begin and we hardly took a breath until the lunch time lull (and when I say 'lull' I mean only half a dozen people at the stall as opposed to 15 or so!) It was so nice to have friends and family visit and to meet so many people - you could definitely feel the festive vibe in the air as people were cheerfully gathering gifts for loved ones (and a few for themselves as well).

Thank you so much to 'The Market' for providing such an amazing avenue for Tasmanian handcrafts and products. We can't wait for what next year will bring at 'The Market'.

Happy countdown to Christmas - we can say 'Christmas is next week' now!

Christmas stall at The Beach Market

It was my shift last night at The Beach Market in Blackmans Bay and it was an interesting night. There were moments of chaos and quiet patches too. Miriam from Jasmine Rose is manning the stall today so I'm waiting for an update.

We'll catch you tomorrow at The Market on Sandy Bay road; I have a funny feeling its going to be a BIG day!!!

The countdown is on....

Its off to Market we go!!! Its that time of week for the finishing touches on all of my market products. I can't believe we are doing 2 markets this weekend - well it is the 'crazy time of year' - it has definitely left me feeling a little crazy!

Below is a little glimpse of some of the products I have been preparing for the markets.

Please pop in and say hello and pick up some beautiful handmade gifts from the range of very talented craftspeople at both of these markets.

See you there - can't wait!!

All wrapped up!

Here is a sneak peek at one of the Christmas ribbon designs that I will be selling at the markets. They are made of christmassy fabric and add a special touch to any gift. You don't have to worry about shopping for classy Christmas paper as these ribbons will dress up any old wrapping. Actually, the plainer the paper the better; try them on newspaper or brown butchers paper.

Fa la la la laaaa, la la la la!
