a skulk of foxes

there must be something in the water on this side of town as Natalie from
a skulk of foxes is yet another Prep Mum and friend. That makes 3 crafty mums from Prep 2010.

I am sooooo excited Natalie is coming. I adore her pieces and have a few of my own.

Established in 2006, A Skulk of Foxes creative directors, Natalie and Andrew Cirillo are inspired by an eclectic mix of folk art, fables and forest animals. They draw on combined experience of over 20 years in the fashion and 3D animation industries to take an innovative if not unorthodox approach to the design and manufacture of their jewellery. All pieces are hand made in their studio in Geelong using sterling silver, acrylic and timber.
They look forward to releasing their brand new range for 2010/2011 at Piccadilly Market.

A&A Collections

A&A Collections was founded in 2005 by Annika Macvean and Anna Bryce. They have been working together for 5 years to bring classic and fashionable silver jewellery to Melbourne. All handcafted on the kitchen table they have managed to combine turkish tassels, hearts, gemstones and classic silver beads to build a collection of pieces that anyone would love.

They have brought out a range of luxurious rabbit fur products that I am loving a lot and looking forward to seeing on Sunday. Very stylish.

Let me introduce you to some more stallholders

Time is running out with only 8 days till Market Day so here are a few of my fabulous new stallholders.

Auntie Francie

“Auntie Francie” loves vintage materials -they add a character and charm to the range that new materials cannot match. Sourcing the linens, buttons and scarves is a constant treasure hunt and discovering a quirky linen or buttons and then giving them a new life as a unique cushion or a whimsical piece of jewellery is a great thrill! The use of crochet, sewing and knitting harks back to the days when we were taught these skills by our relatives such as mum, auntie or grandma – they add value to the product- it is handmade- not a throw away item rather something to keep and enjoy.





Benuu Enterprises

Benuu produce socially and environmentally responsible products and return a percentage of sales to their chosen charities. The inaugural range has two products: beautiful bamboo inspirational plaques and a series of inspirational greeting cards. They have designs in the pipeline for a journal, tote bag, inspirational tokens and pendant.

The designs embody and reflect the Benuu Spirit which is based on the legend of the Phoenix and shares the courage, strength, resilience, hope, wisdom and passion that we need to reach our potential in this modern world.




Run Around the Garden

Sally has two jewellery lines. One is made with silver, wood and resin and the other is paper, wood and resin. She creates each piece by hand. The silver and wood are cut individually by hand and the paper images are sourced from different areas. Some are designed by a member of her family, some are from decoupage paper and some are from different cool images

The pics below are from the paper, wood and resin range.



I am looking forward to seeing all that these wonderful artists will have on the day.

Mad for Mohini

Mohini jewellery is designed in Australia and crafted from all natural elements; Kylie's jewellery is predominately handmade using techniques sourced from far away corners of the earth. Incorporating precious gems, stones, sterling silver, gold, and exquisite materials from around the world.

Inspired by the myth of fairytales. Mohini aims to encapsulate the beauty the earth has to offer. Each piece is designed to reflect this in an organic simplicity, an ode to nature.



The earth is an enchanted being. Spinning a melody, that whispers many fantastical secrets. Truth floats in ancient seas of silver immersed in deepest aquamarine. Gems of knowledge glint with hidden answers and untold dreams. Pearls of wisdom illuminate eyes wide open and hearts beat heavy with magic and desire. Beauty and abundance shimmer in golden light and rapture the quiet. Lost for words. Taken by nature in surrender to love. Mohini - Jewellery from earth.
