Next Saturday, come and visit the Makers Market as part of the Fringe Festival in Murray Bridge. I will be bringing some new flower sticks and vases, along with some jewellery. Hope to see you there!

I really enjoyed talking to people at @tartscollective on Saturday about the glass flower sticks. Blue has been such a popular colour that people are choosing and most of the people were putting them in blue bottles and jars that they have collected over the years. I loved this idea. I have a bunch of test flowers sitting on the windowsill in my kitchen in an old vase I bought when I first started working!

Remember the old necklaces that needed some refreshing? I have transformed them into longer necklaces that suit this lovely person more now. We worked out that some of those necklaces were about 15 years old! They were bought at the Rundle Street Markets when my daughter was just a little baby! I loved seeing those beads again, very inspiring!

I have been looking forward to my day in the shop at @tartscollective today! I have made some more vases and flower sticks for the window display. I am so grateful for the positive feedback and purchases of my new work. It took about 12 years to work out how to do all of this!

Sounds like I need to bring more vases and flower sticks to @tartscollective on Saturday when I work there! Between Writers Week, Adelaide Festival, Fringe Festival, Womad and Chihuly in the Gardens….Adelaide is packed with visitors and things to see and do. I made it to Chihuly at night on the weekend and what a magical experience it was. Loved it all. Well done Adelaide on another Mad March!

It was so lovely to get a message from someone who has bought all sorts of pieces over the years and wanted to do something new with all of the beads! I think some of these necklaces were from around 15 years ago when I was doing the Rundle Street Markets (remember them)? I was excited to see all of these old beads, it was like a walk down memory lane! Stay tuned to see what I did with them!

Some new necklaces added to my display at @tartscollective available now.

Thank you for all the lovely feedback on my new adventure making flower sticks and vases. It’s been quite a journey getting here but I am glad I finally worked it out. I am thrilled with how they turned out.

I hope this window display makes you smile if you get a chance to see it. It made me so happy to finally set it up! I was telling someone yesterday that it took me years to work on all of this. I had the idea, but no idea how to do it. I had the wire, but no idea how to use it. I had the presses, but no idea what to use them for. It all came together when I needed it to.

And it’s all set up!! Fioritura is now blooming at @tartscollective until March 29. Enjoy!
