Creating away....

The cold winter days are a great excuse to stay inside and create more and more notebooks. As the house is now bursting at the seams it is time to get to a few markets and sell the latest wares. This weekend  (June the 4th ) I'll be the Burnie Farmer's market, followed by the Made with Love market on the 11th of June. I hope to showcase these French inspired notebooks at both markets.

New designs

Life has been quiet on the market front these past two weekends. It has been good to have a break and concentrate on working on some new designs and notebook ideas. I have been moving towards some vintage styles of paper which work well. For all those recipe horders I have created a few recipe notebooks in which to stick all your favourite recipes or create and write your own. For those needing little shopping list notebooks I have added a few smaller notebook style pads to the range.

If your not into recipe writing and shopping lists I have also created another new range of vintage notebooks - these are particularly suited to little ones. The designs on the papers are very sweet and they would make gorgeous journals or memory keepers.

Happy market days...

The weekend was very busy, but also wonderful. The Circular Head Shopping night on Friday saw a great turnout and it was so good to see local ladies supporting the market. I had lots of positvie feedback, particularly about the new range.

 On Sunday I was at the Burnie Coastal Art Gallery launch and Made with Love market. It was another fun day -again with steady sales, positive feedback and the chance to meet some really nice people and reconnect with people from the past. The children's range was selling well - the small pencil sets were a big success. It is always great to hear where the notebooks are going to end up - 2 were off to Thailand, one to England... two were going to be used as sketch pads and one delightful little girl is going to design all her new Barbe outfits in hers!

Busy days.....

Clever Zebra Designs has been really busy creating and making a huge range of notebooks. Last weekend was the wonderful 'Made with Love Market' in Wynyard at Artscape. It was a great premother's day market with lots of people out and about shopping for their lovely mums. I launched a new line of notebooks at this market - the lovely brown paper with black imprinted style. It is a huge change from Clever Zebra's usual colourful style of notebooks, but it had a good response and sold well.  I am madly getting ready for two markets this weekend. Friday night I'm off to the Circular Head Shopping night - which promises to be a fun night for ladies in the area. All the proceeds from this market go to Ronald McDonald House in Hobart. On Sunday we are having a stall in Burnie at the Upper Burnie Coastal Art Gallery from 10.00 am until 3.00pm.
