Winter Made on the Left Market

I was naughty and forgot to mention I'd be at the Made on the Left market last weekend, I posted about it on facebook but I've been neglecting my blog a little (if you haven't already 'liked' eeva margita on FB go do it now to keep up to date with new happenings http://www.facebook.com/eevamargita ).

I took my camera and snapped some pics at the end of the day when the crowd had quietened down and I could have a little breather. There were some seriously amazing things there! I felt a little like I was at the Finders Keepers market (or how I imagine it would feel since I have sadly never been to one). The quality was amazing and I wish I had lots of money to go buy all the pretty things. But I had to be content with just taking photos, which I will share with you all and perhaps you will see something you like!

This is a bit of a mega post so prepare yourself for lots of photos!






I was able to do photos from a balcony (Finders Keepers style hehe), doesn't it look so cool! The market was held in the State Theatre.


Photos of some of my new things - a few new hand painted mahogany pendants.


Hand stitched and embroidered felt brooches. I love the bunny ones I made!! I don't normally fall in love too much with my own work (I'm a harsh personal critic!), but this one my excitement about it rose stitch by stitch. I'll have some in the etsy shop soon.


Little Finnish cottages, I wish my place looked like this.


I made washi tape bunting to hang above my table, it's a little hard to see but you get the gist!


My neighbour Little Mo & Friends, she always has such an amazing looking stall, so jealous!


Lovely pod necklace by Eden Dreams.


Also by Eden Dreams.


This necklace was so hard to get a photo of! The lighting was a little dark in this area so combined with my shaky hands it was tough but I managed to get one that was reasonably in focus. Necklace by Novella-Ria.




This photo and the above photo are sweet mother and daughter dresses by Dizzy Daisy. If I had a child I would have snapped up several of those outfits!








Aren't all these felted foxes and bunnies, plate necklaces so so wonderful?! All made by A Story Of.






These 3 photos feature Enid Twiglet (best name ever!).


Lovely softies by Anna Hadwin.




Tall Rabbit make seriously the cutest things ever!


The most beautiful letterpressed coasters by Fluid Ink.


This is one of the nicest stalls I saw there. It's a small collective of friends called Small Things.


I don't who made these out of the collective but they are so cute! A friend bought me the pug one as a house warming gift, it's going to look perfect in my display cupboard.






Amazing illustrator Natasha Muhl, who is also very nice to chat to.


These owls were part of her display and she let me take one home!


And last but not least, Moss & Twig. I would never have the patience to sew each of those scales individually so I am in absolute awe of her.
So as you can see it was a great day, I had fun meeting new people (for a bit of an introvert like me that's not very often, I tend to shy away from talking to people I'm not familiar with) and I am so so excited for future Made on the Left's!

Outskirts Recap

Big victory of Outskirts was it didn't rain like it was supposed to! We had an odd location to set up, the ground was sloped but we made it work.






We made some masks to sell and I think they look pretty spiffy! I did the fox and the bear, Ali J did the butterfly and owl.


We had a photobooth made up. We painted a backdrop of birch trees which I didn't take a proper photo of silly me. But I do have these practice photos we took so people understand the concept. I love the Fujifilm Instax so much! I also made the moustaches the night before for props, they were a hit :) We have big plans for next time with heaps more props!

Made on the Left July 2011

Woohoo Eeva Margita will be at the July Made on the Left market! And it's right in the heart of the city so it's super easy for everyone to get to. Hope to see you there!

Bunting Galore plus market news!

I've been busy cutting circles all day because I was making bunting! I'll have these for sale at my next market which is on the 20th of March. It will be the William st Culture and Arts Festival. I'll be posting up new goodies that I'll have on the Sunday throughout the week so keep your eyes peeled xx

Made on the Left Christmas Market

It's getting close to that gift giving time of year again! And what better way to shop for gifts than to buy handmade at the next Made on the Left market.

Upstairs at The Saint, Innaloo
2 Morris Rd
10-4pm, 13th & 14th November

There are no lifts so if you've got small children or babies have a day off and leave them with a sitter or your partner, you deserve a free day!

My brand Eeva Margita will be there on the Sunday, 14th November I hope to see you there! I will have some delicious new goodies featuring monocles, owls, butterflies and the alphabet, how exciting ♥

Unwrapped September

Oops I just realised I never said on the blog that I was going to do Unwrapped back at the start of this month! Eep sorry, I mentioned it on facebook and just assumed I did on here too. Sorry sorry, here are a few photos from the day to apologise!


See that first necklace? It's a wee harmonica!


When I saw these camera charms I had to get them.


I freaked out when I saw these little pocket watches, so cute!


Slightly different layout with little clothespeg displays to combat any wind.

I've applied for a couple of markets in November so fingers crossed I get into those and I promise I will notify you of when they are ♥

Made on the Left Report

What a great day Sunday was! I was a little nervous at the start since I was launching a new brand and it's always hard to predict how others will react to your work but I didn't need to feel so worried because it was a very successful day. The new venue was spacious and full of light, a nice change from the Hyde. And gosh so many people! I hardly got a break the whole day, whenever there was a break it only lasted maybe 5 or 10 minutes, I'm so glad I had my man helping me out otherwise I believe I would have collapsed. Enough talk, onto the photos (the best part of any blog post).






This is how my booth looked for the day. I really like how it came out! I'll be setting up an etsy store to buy from in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned!

Here are some other great stalls from the same day
