There will be over 40 exhibitors showcasing an array of original, fresh and contemporary design across all mediums and work practices - from ceramics, jewellery, textiles to design co-ops.

The Portrait Gallery Shop stocks a select range of Six in a Row pieces, and we are looking forward to showing our full range this weekend.

 Details are:
Friday 25 November 5 - 9pm (to coincide with Last Friday Drinks)
Saturday 26 November 10am - 4pm
National Portrait Gallery, Canberra

And we will be back in Canberra on 17 and 18 December for the Handmade Market at the National Convention Centre.

These two markets will give those Sydney customers who have been asking us when they can see Six in a Row before Christmas, opportunity to catch us before Christmas.

And with this great news, we thought it was a good time to confirm all our public dates for the rest of the year in both Sydney and Canberra.

Enough typing for now - it's back to the beads for us. Hope to see you at one of these lovely events.

And we will have lots of lovely new pieces available for this Market.

And a big thank you to the lovely friendly faces that came by to say hello at Kincoppal-Rose Bay last weekend. It was an incredible Fair.

Emma and Susannah

From where we sit, it looks like the organisers are doing an incredible job, with an impressive menu of activities and attractions planned for the day - rides, a classic car show, gourmet food, family entertainment, children's farmyard, art show, sports zone and of course the market stalls, of which Six in a Row will be but one.

It is the perfect colour to go with almost everything in a wardrobe.

But I must admit, I was a little shocked by just how many cream necklaces have found their way into my personal collection. And the sign that I may really have a problem is that I can't see that this is a problem!

Lucky for our customers, we have a rainbow of colours we love too. Just wait until you see the new colours we are going to be working with. A post will follow soon.

Instead, a perfect activity to fill some time has been to help my daughter make a lovely owl hand/finger puppet project. This kit is really beautiful and answers the "teach me to sew mummy" cry perfectly.

If you wanted to buy them, they are called "Alice Melvin's Cut Out and Sew Glove Puppets" and I have tracked them down on Big Cartel, but Alice Melvin's on a maternity break until November, if you can wait! Click here to see the site.

And now these beautiful owls are made, the fun continues as my daughter writes a play for the puppets to star in.

We have also expanded on our popular bracelets by creating a new range with a little touch of silver. 

These pieces will be having their debut at the PLC Pymble Garden Party this weekend.

Details for the PLC Garden Party are:

Date - Saturday 17 September

Time - 10.00am to 3.00pm

Where - PLC Pymble

All members of the wider community are invited to join the Pymble community at the College's annual Garden Party. Come and enjoy a day of family fun with food, entertainment, games, produce, craft, rides and much more.
