Aussie Christmas in July

Do these words conjure up an Australian Christmas for you??

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
(Torme & Wells, 1946)

No, not usually. Unless, of course, they refer to the Etsy Down Under Street Team (DUST) “Aussie Christmas in July” promotional weekend.

Etsy DUST members from all around Australia are coming together for one whole weekend, 12.01AM Saturday 25th July through to 11.59PM Sunday 26th July (AEST), to showcase their talents & stunningly handmade creations.

All stores participating will be offering a promotion to their customers - free worldwide shipping or % off sales; a selection of items at reduced prices or reverse auctions.

With so much variety, including jewellery, children’s clothing & accessories, art, supplies, vintage items, stationery & bags, you are sure to find something to suit each & every taste.

The DUST team will also be running giveaways for the entirety of the weekend, giving you the opportunity to win some fabulous prizes from Australian sellers. Poke your nose into the Etsy Forums during the promotion for your chance to win.

I encourage you to visit the participating stores, as well as our team website – http://www.dustteam.com/ – and support the handmade revolution sweeping Australia.

Stay tuned for more details as the weekend draws nearer, but for now here's a sneak peak at some of the stores-

Sculpey fun

Polymer clay is so much fun. Here are some of my latest creations.

Wish list Wednesday

I spent the afternoon re-living my childhood in the vintage section of etsy. I didn't find what I originally went looking for but I did find some things I remember from when I was little, that I would love to own again. I don't really like to think of my childhood as being 'vintage' though-I don't feel vintage!

Sheer toddler dress from scarletbirdvintage (mine was blue)

Lamb on wheels pull toy from cottageprims

Kerplunk game from kittyBcreative

Wish list Wedneday

Just to spoil me this week-

Another gorgeous dress from Lyptis (I already have one)

Not your Nanas tote from Bobishi

Very cute Ellie (she measures a tiny 1") from TigerWings
