<br />
While there was plenty of eating and drinking, (we were assigned the task of researching the perfect cocktail for an upcoming school event - but didn't really need the excuse!) there was lots of time for creativity too.<br />
<br />
My weekend consisted of both intentional and incidental Creative Finds.<br />
<br />
Commencing with the <a href="https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/the-house-of-dior/" target="_blank">Dior Exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria</a> on Friday, and continuing with both the <a href="http://bookofmormonmusical.com.au/sydney-tickets/?utm_source=go&utm_medium=sea&utm_campaign=sydnos&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6NjNBRDKARIsAFn3NMp4Zz4Uma4MTXWyZdvzK2ByGSv0gI9n0UF4ljjKQjYFduzHEpCZG9AaAtdnEALw_wcB" target="_blank">Book of Mormon Musical</a> and the <a href="http://www.rosestmarket.com.au/" target="_blank">Rose Street Markets</a> in Fitzroy which is held every Saturday.<br />
<br />
There was oodles of creativity around every corner in the CBD. Street Art was bringing to life what would've once been some fairly unsavoury areas.<br />
<br />
Unofficially in charge of "documenting" the weekend, I took on this responsibility with gusto and my Camera Roll is chock full of my Melbourne observations.<br />
<br />
Here's my wrap up in images:<br />

Melbourne did not disappoint. The weekend away was voted 11/10.<br />
<br />
Free tram rides throughout the city, fab food, internationally acclaimed cultural events, super friendly locals, and a groovy vibe. And no time for any AFL!!!<br />
<br />
Even the weather was kind to us Sydney-siders who have conniptions at temperatures under 18degrees.<br />

That's<i> 'creative finds'</i> in a nutshell.<br />
<br />
The big reveal is still on track for October, but in the meantime, here is a little taster of some of the hand-made gift solutions you can expect to find via the creative finds website:<br />

Tea sure, but I think this would be perfect for keeping the mulled wine as well as your hands warm around the campfire this winter. AUD$14</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">To be fair, we barely get a winter in Sydney. When the mercury drops below 18 everybody starts to freeze and hibernates indoors. I for one, would choose summer over Winter any day, but will concede that there is something comforting about rugging up and inhaling that crisp, fresh Winter air. </span></div>

Apparently that was a 10 week term. Feels like it was Easter about 5 minutes ago, but here we are, in the middle of Winter with two weeks to fill - more like 3 x weeks for some of you.<br />
<br />
We are planning to embark on a mini room makeover for Harriet these holidays. While madly pinning inspiration I have been sidetracked by some super colourful, DIY craft projects that I think we could also tackle in the break.<br />
<br />
Those who know me, understand my reluctance to take on handcrafted projects myself. I am all about discovering and sharing, and not so much about the making. Two left thumbs and zero patience I'm afraid.<br />
<br />
That being said, even I could potentially pull off one of these naive but very sweet decorative pieces...<br />
<br />
...and the colours are sure to brighten up a gloomy Winter's afternoon.<br />
<br />

Water views, sustainable surroundings, organic food and creative artisans can be found on the last Sunday of each month at the Historic Coal Loader Site in Waverton (North Sydney).<br />
<br />
What was an industrial site, is now home to an inspiring Sustainability Centre with best practise sustainable tecnology, workshops, organic gardening and stunning flora and fauna with Sydney's harbour as a backdrop.<br />
<br />
I supported (ie: purchased from!) a number of the talented artisans who were exhibiting their wares, when I visited last month.<br />

The most divine "kiss and hug" earrings from <a href="https://www.ayanajewellery.com/" target="_blank">Ayana Jewellery</a>, came packaged complete with polishing cloth for AUD$18.<br />

Although there are no teething babies in my current network, I couldn't help but grab one of these beechwood teethers to pop in the gift box.<br />
<br />
Made by <a href="https://wildwoodkids.com.au/" target="_blank">Wildwood Kids</a>, the beads are made using food grade silicon and since the combination of colours and shades are so on trend, these little beauties wouldn't look out of place on display.<br />
<br />
Various shapes are on offer, as well as pram accessories and necklaces. AUD $29<br />

You may have seen on the <i><a href="https://www.instagram.com/my_creativefinds/" target="_blank">"creative finds instagram account"</a> </i>the gorgeous succulent arrangements by Marilyn at For the Love of Succulents?<br />
<br />
The big wreath is equally at home on the wall / door or the table with a large candle in the middle. The living wall is customisable to your requirements and Marilyn makes sweet little wedding or party favour succulents too.<br />

Not only are there plenty of handmade creations designed specifically for the blokes, there are also an ever increasing number of chaps following their passions, flexing their artisan muscles, and making superior handcrafted products.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.afternoonswithalbert.com/" target="_blank">Afternoons with Albert</a> is the avenue by which Perth Pilot, Shane, brings form, function and beauty together, by designing & making products to enhance our lifestyle.<br />
<br />
His <a href="https://www.afternoonswithalbert.com/products/copy-of-the-cord-roll-brown" target="_blank">Cord Roll </a>is everyone's answer to tangled earphones, chargers and the lost minutiae of life. Available in Tan, Black or Grey, these are equally at home housing lipgloss and hand-cream in a handbag, as they are in a backpack or jeans pocket keeping cables in check.<br />

<br />
Her most recent works are, by her own admission, naive and abstract - but I really love their depiction of Sydney beach life, which is such a motivating force for many of us living in this great city.<br />

I reckon I'll give some of these a whirl, as we still seem to have plastic animals lurking in the toy boxes....<br />
<br />
<br />
The kids are growing up and we have another birthday just around the corner.<br />
<br />
To make way for the celebratory loot, I am deliberating about which toys it's time we parted with. Of course as soon as something is earmarked and put aside, it suddenly becomes the <i>toy de jour </i>and I so cease making any progress at all.<br />
<br />
We seem to have a plethora of plastic animal figurines. While they don't take up much space per se, my children have trouble remembering what they have to play with unless it is all out on show. And by on show, I mean scattered haphazardly throughout the home.<br />
<br />
I had pinned onto my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/findfoundforage/">DIY board on Pinterest</a>, these up-cycled jars using spray painted toy animals, and when I searched further, it seems there is no end in sight for these little guys. They've been re-purposed into so many carnations that they will live to see many more days.<br />

While the daily goings tickled my fancy, I couldn't help but reminisce...<br />
<br />
Remembering the days working at Chifley Tower while the Sydney Olympics were on, watching and celebrating in the Domain. Such fun times.<br />

Ventured out wearing a new purchase from <a href="https://emily-green.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Emily Green</a>. On leather twine are these polymer clay beads in all my favourite shades. And with sparkles! 9 x bead necklaces are <a href="https://emily-green.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Emily's signature design</a> although she creates pieces with up to 18 beads as well as earrings, art works and even has a sock range!<br />

<br />
It has to be said, I have been in "need" of some ear candy updates - and it was just so damn hard to choose!<br />
<br />
While there were polymer brights, acrylic numbers with coloured foil, wooden studs, titanium hoops, the overarching theme was tassels!<br />
<br />
I am not complaining. Love me a tassel.<br />
<br />
Some were dainty, others audacious.<br />
<br />
But all are guaranteed to dress up a plain outfit, or give you a confidence boost on an otherwise dreary day.<br />
<br />
I bought a pair like this from <a href="http://www.corejewellery.etsy.com/" target="_blank">core jewellery</a> for AUD$38. Tin foil, acrylic, ply wood - so tactile yet, so sparkly.<br />
<br />

<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Turns out my Mum has been eyeing off the colourful and impossible-to-choose-from earrings from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/kingstonjewellery" target="_blank">Kingston</a>. Handcrafted in Victoria using mixed mediums such as clay, brass, painted elements and of course tassels, it took me an age to decide on these two pairs above.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you head over to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kingstonjewellery/" target="_blank">Jemima's facebook page</a> there are literally hundreds of photos of her creations. No two pieces are the same, and I read a feedback comment from one of her customers that said:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"These earrings are the BOMB DOT COM". Prices started at AUD $45.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I walked out of the market wearing this pair from the girls at <a href="http://www.polli.com.au/" target="_blank">Polli in Bryon Bay</a> (and yes that is another burgandy tassel). They went perfectly with my green and gold sparkly jumper... AUD$45 </div>

I've gifted this Hello Sydney book a couple of times, but I'm super keen on picking up some of <a href="https://www.mckeanstudio.com/" target="_blank">McKean Studio's</a> other new age souvenirs.<br />
<br />
Husband and Wife team Joshua & Megan McKean design and make bangles, acrylic ornaments, mini city-scapes, scarves and prints in a huge range of cities from their Sydney studio.<br />
<br />
Got an international visitor coming to stay, or a colleague leaving for an o/s post ? These make the perfect gift!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can justify another purchase when I've saved some dollars (which makes no sense as I'll usually end up spending more) as I'll have twice as much to show for it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://lumiereartandco.com.au/" target="_blank">Lumiere Art & Co</a> have many beautiful textiles to choose from, AND they also have a page on their website dedicated to <a href="http://lumiereartandco.com.au/shop/sale" target="_blank">SALE</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Unlike many other Sale pages, this one isn't the rejects; instead it's chock full of gorgeous linen towels, cushion covers, throws and art work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do you have a gift drawer? Do you gift your host/ess when you visit? Then might I encourage you to fill your cart with some of the following handmade goodies to always have something on hand?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You are sure to be giving something individual, something that will punctuate your host's living space and ensure you a repeat invitation!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Teatowels start from as little as AUD$10...in fact you could pick up one each of the following and have change from $150. Now if that's not a bargain...</div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
Velvet Round Cushion - with pom pom!</div>

<div>
"Beautiful" and</div>

<div>
in the introduction to <a href="http://langdonltd.com.au/" target="_blank">Langdon Ltd's</a> website, I was confident there was going be gold on the following web pages and I was right - literally.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Metallic threads weave their way into many of the designs by <a href="http://langdonltd.com.au/" target="_blank">Langdon Ltd</a>. Having spied their stall at the recent <a href="http://www.lifeinstyle.com.au/" target="_blank">Life Instyle</a> exhibition in Sydney, I was besotted with everything they have on offer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The cushions, bags and rugs are to die for, but the idea of elevating my humble door mat to designer level with some gold, is, pure gold!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Start your salivating now. Prices start from AUD$79 for doormats.</div>

<br />
It's exactly a year to the day since my last blog post....<br />
<br />
I sold my soul to a retail job about 18months ago and the weeks (and most depressingly, the weekends) were no longer my own. I had some fun, met some nice people, spent more than I earned with my "staff discount" and basically reaffirmed my future as business owner and not employee.<br />
<br />
Having reclaimed said soul (ie: I resigned!) I have enrolled in a 3 month hustle course to fine tune my vision, and reboot my business. So having broadcast this, you can keep me accountable and watch the re-birth of find...found...forage.<br />
<br />
Are you on the <a href="http://www.daniellelaporte.com/" target="_blank">Danielle LaPorte</a> Bandwagon? She is in the country right now! Anyway, she hit the nail on the head for me with one of her <a href="http://www.daniellelaporte.com/truthbomb/" target="_blank">#truthbombs</a>:<br />

<br />
Set on the Mosman Square and Village Green, I'll be in great company with over 150 art & craft stalls plus gourmet food and entertainment.<br />
<br />
I'm secretly hoping to be positioned next to the exquisite hand poured<a href="http://maisonpetale.com/collections/all"> Maison Petale Candles</a> as the scent wafting from their stall is just divine. And don't get me started on the packaging. Yum. Website prices AUD$59 but cheaper at the Markets!!<br />

<br />
Whiling away hours in boutiques & markets rather than the shopping malls of usual life, is for me, the perfect therapy. Coupled with family time at the beach too of course!<br />
<br />
Shared below are just some of the plentiful hand-crafted discoveries I made over our recent summer break.<br />
<br />
Design House <a href="http://www.lovehate.com.au/">Love Hate</a> offer Australian hand crafted jewellery, ceramic wares, clothing, & leather goods. Shapes & colour palletts inspired by the designers surroundings, these sweet pieces are as unique in their designs as they are in their manufacturing process.<br />

Earrings & Porcelain Necklace AUD$65, Linear Brass Necklace AUD $49.<br />

It seems every market has someone peddling Turkish Towels.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://findfoundforage.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/im-dubious-as-to-whether-well-ever-get.html">I blogged about them back in 2012 here</a> and am still very much an advocate, using mine on high rotation this summer; but I haven't seen colour ways like those on offer by <a href="http://www.knotty.com.au/">Knotty</a>.<br />
<br />
Brights or pastels, in colour blocked styles, wide stripes and some stunning designs for your home, these beach towels are a refreshing take on the Turkish towel.<br />
<br />
Prices start from AUD$39<br />

Well documented is my love for all things sparkly; so it would come as no surprise that the combination of both in these gorgeous ceramic wares made from <a href="http://birdyandclementine.com/">Birdy & Clementine </a>appealed to me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Robyn is the lady behind Birdy & Clementine and in her own words: "I create modern feminine ceramics: practical pretty tableware and porcelain jewellery with a touch of bling". Robyn will be bringing her range to the next <a href="http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/sydney-markets/">Finders Keepers Markets in Sydney</a>. Yay!</div>

<br />
Here's a wrap up of some of my delightful scores:<br />
<br />
From my newest "Go To" online store <a href="http://www.oliverbonas.com/">Oliver Bonas</a>, I was gifted a gorgeous Chrissie Tree Decoration crafted with the Scandi sentiment that I love coupled with a second love - fluro!!<br />
On sale now for a little as one pound. Run don't walk!<br />

While on the fluro theme (gee my friends know me well!), a gorgeous hand printed looped scarf / snood with a bright tassel was gifted to me. And for a week there earlier this month, I was actually wearing it! Made in Tasmania by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/henleyandcostore">Henley & Co</a>. Also on sale now...from AUD$29.<br />

This tray below was made upcycling old magazines! Using collected materials from around their village in Sumatra, <a href="http://www.navehmilo.com/">Naveh Milo</a> recycles them into practical products. I know a couple of children who would love the Mentos Pencil Case. The bangles below are made using old soda cans! You can image the waste that would otherwise end up in landfill (or not, as is the case in many third world countries), so hats off to Naveh's team.</div>

Trish from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WohnWally">Woh'n'Wally</a> makes all sorts of fashion accessories for your fur child. Bow-ties, Bandanas, Jackets and even sun-hats (I know!!), and of course leads and collars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Prices start at AUD$12 for a bandana up to AUD$50 for a pure wool jacket.</div>

<br />
So while the air is electric with summer and socialising, the time for shopping couldn't be better.<br />

<br />
Fi from <a href="http://www.theinspiredpaddock.com/">The Inspired Paddock</a> had set up the most stylish stand. She was selling pieces such as antlers that have been naturally shed, wreaths made from barbed wire, and lamps, vases and decor items made from the trunks of Birch trees.<br />
<br />
Looking for pheasant feathers? Want a deer hide? Or how about a hand-made backgammon or chess board? <a href="mailto:fi@theinspiredpaddock.com">Fi has gotten busy in her studio shed</a> and made all these items herself. By hand.<br />
<br />
Be prepared to drool....<br />

Need to get your Christmas Gift Wrap theme sorted? Are you using wrapping paper as a centrepiece for your Christmas table? What about the bon bons?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wrappsody.com.au/">Wrappsody</a> were also at the KRB Spring Fair with the most comprehensive array of wrapping papers, co-ordinating ribbons and gift tags. Not only were there tons of options, but the rolls of paper came in quantities sure to wrap all your loot.<br />
<br />
Rolls of 10m or 50m of the highest quality papers are sourced with co-ordinating ribbons. I for one, cannot wrap a gift without finishing it with a ribbon. Amy and her team solved my Chrissie wrapping conundrum.<br />
<br />
I've already wrapped a trio of gifts on their way to the UK...<br />

Lucy from <a href="http://www.frayed.net.au/">Frayed</a> was another talented crafts-lady with scrumptious offerings. This time of the Shibori kind. All manner of linen delights were on offer from cushions, to napkins, placemats and bunting.<br />
<br />
Her gift tags alone will convince you to style your Christmas blue this year!<br />

Fairs and markets are on in abundance at this time of year.<br />
Get yourselves along to one and pick up some pressies that are sure to tick the 'unique' box.<br />

And what a fair it was! Held once every four years, it is a community event eagerly anticipated by both the Eastern Suburbs locals and the school girls, and it attracts over 5 000 people.<br />
<br />
The weather was kind and the patrons were out in force. When you have an interior decorator of the calibre of <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/lsmeallie/">Leanne Smeallie</a> on the organising committee, the fair was always going to be a stylish affair.<br />
<br />
I'll showcase some of my fellow market stall holders in my next blog post, but for now here are some snaps from the day.<br />
<br />
How good do the bunting, hay bales and picket fences look?<br />
And you couldn't possibly have Devonshire tea without chandeliers, roses and proper English china tea cups, could you?<br />

Embarrassingly, it can often be my highlight when visiting a museum / art gallery. <br />
<br />
Yesterday, prior to seeing the <a href="https://maas.museum/event/collette-dinnigan-unlaced/exhibition/">Collette Dinnigan Exhibition</a> at <a href="https://maas.museum/powerhouse-museum/">The Powerhouse Museum</a>, I found myself in the newly-renovated MAAS Store mentally ticking off many gifts from my scarily extensive Christmas Shopping List.<br />
<br />
Check out some of these hand-made discoveries:<br />
<br />
The interlocking wine rack you can configure to suit your needs / space. Made by <a href="http://powertomake.com.au/product-cat/shop/homeware/">Power to Make</a>, these plywood sets come in different colours and you can add sets as your wine collection grows. The best bit is they come flat packed for building, so easy to post & carry. Starting at AUD$55 for the 6 bottle set, this would go down well in any home at Christmas.<br />

I was totally crushing on these flower frames by Sydney company <a href="http://www.rainysunday.com.au/product-category/flower-frames/">Rainy Sunday</a>. They come in all sorts of delicious shades. I imagine gifting one of these with some fresh blooms, as they provide a beautiful keepsake long after the flowers have gone. Single black one will set you back AUD$52. </div>

Having laid Tasmanian Oak Floors in an attempt at a slightly Scandi interior, Oak is still very much on my radar. These oak homewares by <a href="http://www.normann-copenhagen.com/products?category=Gift%20Ideas">Normann Copenhagen</a> caught my eye in the Museum Shop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Great gifts, good prices and so smooth and tactile to boot. A house can NEVER have enough hooks and here are a couple of stunning oak versions, and a luxe timber trivet to protect your bench tops. Truly Scandinavian, all items online are sent from Denmark, so prices are in USD. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Curve hook - USD$28, Trivet - USD$33 & Stick Hooks - USD$25</div>

I could account for at least a third of my Xmas Shopping List at <a href="https://maas.museum/maas-store/">The Museum Shop</a> - I recommend it highly for some novel pressie ideas, some amazing books and they even had some yummy fodder on hand for the hungry visitor.<br />
<br />
If you have the chance to see the Collette Dinnigan Exhibition - on until Aug 2016 - you won't be disappointed. Tickets are $15 and she has a book out too. That's the perfect Xmas gift combo right there!<br />
