Pop into 'not for the faint hearted'

'not for the faint hearted' is a boutique run by Mary Crosby. It is an environmentally sustainable boutique that stocks beautiful items of clothing, jewellery, unique gifts and more. Most items are crafted from treasures found in local charity shops.

At the Pollard Park Market, I had a stall next to Mary and she kindly invited me to sell mimosakids at her boutique.

You can find 'not for the faint hearted' at 107 Mt Eden Road and it's open on Fridays from 12 noon until 6pm.


She also stocks the beautiful notebooks by Annie B Handmade.

Pollard Park Market Day

Thanks to the wonderful people who bought a piece of mimosakids. It was a lovely day. We were tucked away in the scout hall but thanks to the great marketing by Justine, Louise and the other stall holders it was a great success. We look forward to the next one. As per usual I bought lots from other crafters, including the following:

Dr Seuss necklace
 
The gorgeous necklace and earrings made by Anya Bell from bellbirddesigns.com.

Flower earrings by Anya Bell
bunny notebook
I just love these beautifully handcrafted notebook covers (A5 notebook included) made from up-cycled blankets. They are made by the wonderful Annie B Handmade. Look at the lovely machine sewn ruled lines and margin. You can hardly believe its crafted on the blanket. And I just had to buy the one with homework written on it (the teacher in me!) and the gorgeous bunny (I love hares and this is the next best thing!). Find Annie B on www.anniebhandmade.blogspot.com
