mathilda's market

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend so far. I've had a great day doing lots of things around the house with my family and enjoying the glorious Sydney weather.

I'm excited about tomorrow as I'm going to be attending my first Mathilda's market. I've wanted to go before but haven't been able to make them for various reasons. This time I'm free as a bird and can't wait to check out all the gorgeous handmade goods, and I might even do a spot of Christmas shopping while I'm at it.

I'm not taking my camera but I'll be sure to share any purchases I make. I'm also looking forward to meeting some of the lovely ladies behind the handmade brands!

Have a happy Sunday everyone!
