*So* worth the wait

Shop Handmade opened to the public at 9am today.

But last night Julie, Rachel and the Shop Handmade team held a VIP and media event and the lucky (paint me green with envy) attendees were able to feast all their senses on the delightful creation that is Shop Handmade. Click on the logo above for a look. Isn't it just breathtaking?

Having previously been involved with the set up of a brand new store, I have an inkling of just how much blood, sweat, tears and sleep deprivation must have gone on behind the scenes to bring Shop Handmade to this point. And now all that hard work has paid off, the big day is finally here.

Well done to all involved, Shop Handmade is simply divine and a credit to your dreams and determination. I am so honoured and excited to be a small part of this amazing adventure.

May Shop Handmade be a resounding success, you deserve it.

Only three more sleeps until the grand opening of the fabulous Shop Handmade!

I got a sneak peak when I dropped my stock off yesterday and in the words of the inimitable Lola from Charlie and Lola:

"I can't wait! I can't wait!"

Have you heard about Shop Handmade?

It's an offshoot of the wonderful Handmade Market, and will enable you to get your Handmade fix all year round - not that you will want to miss the wonderful atmosphere of the Handmade Market, of course!

Shop Handmade will be located located on City Walk in Canberra’s CBD, Allara St (on the corner opposite The Canberra Centre) and will open for business from 9am on Friday 16 April.

It's a fantastic concept and I know it is going to be simply amazing, so I am thrilled and extremely excited to let you know that selected Flibbertigibbet items will be stocked instore. I had lots of queries at Handmade as to whether Flibbertigibbet would be at Shop Handmade, so I suspect there are quite a few of you who will also be very happy at this news.

You can read more at the Shop Handmade Blog. I am sure you will agree that Shop Handmade promises to be fabulous!
