Well here it is early Sunday morning, and I am sitting here at my desk in our little shop at Carrara Markets..... waiting for that elusive customer.  If you have nothing planned for today, why not pop down/up here to see us.  We have new stock - some fabulous hand-painted bags.  Well worth a look.  

Here is one that I particularly like - it is quite large, would be great as a beach bag or a market shopping bag.

Size: 48 cm x 46 cm

Handmade & Hand-painted onto pure Indian cotton.  Fully lined.

Hand made  from recycled and vintage fabrics, and enhanced with the most exquisite vintage laces and hand embroidered linens, this collection is sure to please.

Pictured here is Peasant Blouse 1 - size: Medium 

Wendy's Time to Shine.

Size: 600 mm x 500 mm x 40 mm 

Enamel & Acrylic on Stretched Canvas.

Where does the time go?  Here it is November already - which means Christmas is only a few weeks away!!

Our little shop at Carrara Markets is slowly gaining strength.  Rainer is busy stocking up on his miniature artworks (great stocking fillers for Christmas gifts), and Carol-Anne is working away at filling up her racks with some exquisite one-of-a-kind wearable art pieces.

Many hours have gone into these creations - using only the best of the best fabrics and laces, vintage and recycled fabric, every one of these garments are a treasure.  Be sure not to miss out, as they are gaining in popularity fast.

The photo here is of an exquisite Bohemian summer dress - hand-made from a vintage hand-stitched linen tablecloth.  Every stitch has been created lovingly by hand.  The patience required for this labour of love is truly from a by-gone era, and is much appreciated by us both, as I hope by you  too.
