off to markit

hello crappy rushed photo of lovely things

Somehow it's Thursday. Not entirely sure where the week has gone but I'm excited how close we are to the weekend and dreading how much I need to do before then. I'm even more excited that yesterday I finally got a new work PC after mine died on Friday, talk about timing...

So the weekend was a busy one. We went to Christmas in the Studio on Saturday which you should read about and admire the pretty pictures on Sarah D's Tumblr. Then I annoyingly had to work until 3:30am that night but still decided to head off to MARKit the next day anyway. Despite feeling a bit blurry eyed and it being a quite chilly day, it was a very enjoyable market. It had a really good vibe- it felt very positive and friendly, similar to that at Finders Keepers, which was nice as normally I find design markets a bit snobby.

I bought a couple of little goodies pictured above- a teatowel from the Ink & Spindle ladies [I FINALLY got to meet Teegs in real life too! Probably the highlight of the day, much like meeting Lara was the highlight of Finders Keepers!], another one of lovely Dawn's recipe teatowels for a friends birthday and a toothy mobile from Beci Orpin who is just so ace [as is her new website].

I think that's it for me and markets this year, the rest of the Christmas shopping will now be done online!
