favourite things.

i took a few shots of the cozy, warm atmosphere at the favourite things- vintage & handmade markets this weekend at the beach road hotel in bondi. come down next saturday between 12-6 to check out the goodies. you can grab a bite to eat, have a cider (or red wine or...) and seek some shelter from the cold while eyeing some special wares at these indoor markets. this is the ticket that bondi has been missing; come be a part of this something different. there are treasures galore, music and shiny, happy faces. dig the cruisy vibe.
....here are a few of my favourite things:

i love seeing shapes and images in nature...you know, like eyeing a castle in the clouds. and i especially love it when people do something about it- like this:

market recap.

'my favourite things' markets on saturday were really great.  however, we had the stunningly gorgeous weather outside working against us, keeping many outdoors i'm sure. the girls in charge made the venue look amazing and the atmosphere was really warm and comfortable. i think there is some real potential for these markets to get busier and busier. i will be there next saturday too!

these vintage aprons strung as a garland were a nice touch:

my stall; it was quite dark in the space, but in the end i feel like it worked for me...i lit my lamps and had fairy lights strung. i quite liked the moody look:

and a lovely customer went home and instagrammed her birdcage purchase-cute:
