We recently met with the gallery store at the National Portrait Gallery (www.portrait.gov.au) in Canberra.

If you know the National Portrait Gallery, you will know the Portrait Gallery Store  (www.portraitgallerystore.com.au). The Store is great and has a reputation for stocking a thoughtful and beautiful range of books, gifts and jewellery.

This was Six's first conversation with a retail outlet and we are thrilled to report that they have taken a capsule collection of necklaces from our pebble, crystal cut, icy blue and retro green women's ranges, and some gorgeously bright pieces from our bright children's range.

Thank you Richard!

It never looked good, but ever the optimists, we loaded up the cars and drove to Mosman. Instead of finding the buzz of stallholders unloading cars and setting up shop, we found huddles of people, waiting.

And as the rain fell and the wind blew, the Council decided that the conditions were bad and so the September Mosman Market was cancelled.

We apologise to the people who had planned to come today, but we will be back there again next month (Saturday 2 October).

So now I am tucked up at home with Brasseries Bread chocolate and almond croissants, the only brave stallholder to laugh at the rain and set up shop. Not a bad consolation prize really.

At a recent event we met Nicky and Cassandra from RaspberryRose (www.raspberryrose.com.au). These two friends source gorgeous and unique gifts and accessories from both Australia and globally that you just won't find at your usual shopping haunts.

We obviously love resin and RaspberryRose have gorgeous little resin bowls and spoons in really yummy colours - perfect gifts. They also have a great eye for colour and pattern which shows in their collection of aprons, water bottles, key rings and wallets.

 It's a great site to visit for a bit of gift shopping.

The earrings are designed to compliment our necklaces and bracelets and come in a wide range of colours - gelato pastels, creams, crystal clears, turquoise, red, white, icy blues and "vintage" green. And we only use sterling silver findings in our earrings.

I snapped these photos at a market over the weekend - not the same high standards of the beautiful professional photos on our webpage by Mel Birt (www.melaniebirtphotography.com.au ), but they hopefully give you an idea of how they look!

At a recent meeting during the school holidays we couldn't help but notice the colour similarities between some of our children's necklaces and the gingerbread men the children were enjoying.

Inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere.

So we thought we might occassionally post pictures of how we wear our Six in a Row jewellery.

Today I was feeling like doing a twist on the twin set and pearl look and have layered up some creamy resin beads with a cream wrap cardigan.

The cream beads are feminine and beautiful and they are very easy to wear because they work with so much in our wardrobes.

Sometimes it can be hard to find a reason to wear beads on a rural property but my loyal honey/caramel amber necklace earned it's place in my wardrobe once again. It was just right for the setting.

The smaller girls didn't have any problems accessorising - apparently beads can be worn picking lavender, collecting eggs, spotting wombats, horse riding and building cubby houses.

I took my beading kit and a lot of delicious beads with me with the noble intention of making many pieces in the fresh country air......I made a grand total of two pieces. But we are back home now and there will be no excuses for not getting busy again.
