Oops! I have been spending time settling in to our new house and just really enjoying being married..rather than spending all my time in my sewing room and on the computer!

It is called "Body Paint for Women's Ceremony" and it is just beautiful! Betty is from the Utopia region in the Northern Territory and she is continuing the tradition of painting the bush melon and body painting motifs used for traditional women's ceremonies.<br /><br />The small circles in Betty's paintings represent the Bush Melon. The elongated u-shaped patterns with horizontal lines represent the designs painted on the breast and upper body used by women to decorate each other’s bodies for traditional ceremonies. The large concentric circles represent the place where the sacred women’s ceremonies would take place.<br /><br />My family found this paining from The Artery (www.theartery.com.au), a contemporary aboriginal art gallery in Darlinghurst, Sydney.<br /><br />It is the most stunning piece and we just love it!!berlinskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08523976161344610989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073070873443319072.post-28660162383737822772010-05-18T20:00:00.002+10:002010-05-18T20:24:14.144+10:00Wow...what a wedding gift!I just have to share with you a photo of one of our divine wedding gifts...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNwldcHCRRQOEIMrC1x1O9EC33XZV7VeaNTmGYnVHE3P6_oTE9ja-Fek_LRjpP0u1xOlm3utx0_h9SPatGuKnfpf7G2I83cViSVeACUz4C7uQRHJ3Fp_e9qmziGnrTgJIioawblmPjRsB1/s1600/wedding+010.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 272px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472548056651537602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNwldcHCRRQOEIMrC1x1O9EC33XZV7VeaNTmGYnVHE3P6_oTE9ja-Fek_LRjpP0u1xOlm3utx0_h9SPatGuKnfpf7G2I83cViSVeACUz4C7uQRHJ3Fp_e9qmziGnrTgJIioawblmPjRsB1/s320/wedding+010.jpg" /></a><br />One of our lovely bridesmaids had this incredible custom papercut made for us by the amazing Andrea Smith (<a href="http://www.andreasmith.com.au/">www.andreasmith.com.au</a>).

I have never been so busy with Berlinski! A couple of weeks ago I got a HUGE wholesale order which was very exciting! The problem was that it completely diminished my stock and so I have been madly sewing to get ready for Magnolia Square (<a href="http://www.magnoliasquare.com.au/">http://www.magnoliasquare.com.au/</a>). Here is a photo of some new leather clutch bags that I am making for Magnolia Square…<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDufOGByXOGmZVnD7TpSinvvDC9ltoJBiZ7h6E6MWxEDyfWBGVNdUh0b9_lfOwuf32AH5Mo9a2Ys1OThqJHYthkzb57qHWq8gajh3i0dJMoBfsxA5LIrUlWZbHr8xmPbv4P0i0C-B-umQK/s1600-h/DSC_0318.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403376363815217154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 205px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDufOGByXOGmZVnD7TpSinvvDC9ltoJBiZ7h6E6MWxEDyfWBGVNdUh0b9_lfOwuf32AH5Mo9a2Ys1OThqJHYthkzb57qHWq8gajh3i0dJMoBfsxA5LIrUlWZbHr8xmPbv4P0i0C-B-umQK/s320/DSC_0318.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Some other Berlinski news…my sister is doing an amazing road trip around Australia at the moment and she recently found herself in Port Elliot in South Australia. She took a look at Little Bird in Port Elliot…a stockist of Berlinski pieces! She took lots of great photos.

I am slowly realising exactly how much work I have to do before then and the weeks have just been whizzing by! It is just sewing…sewing…sewing for me at the moment! Exactly how I like it! I have recently started using leather in my work and am going to launch this new range at Magnolia Square. Here is a sneak peek of some new leather Berlinski clutches…<br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQDQimYYvcZFCLWMLfr51SWY5Vu9PmXuFur-DE2cytmA9GU79WBs0KPkiuVxPT34eAjNx1icn27O6o1eXLwSxR3CqR-ATFEVH-bZfcHxUNxt5yw8jLv9ahqel3SHxmaGfrpMlkaAoFJafp/s1600-h/DSC_0656.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387608234116255986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 291px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQDQimYYvcZFCLWMLfr51SWY5Vu9PmXuFur-DE2cytmA9GU79WBs0KPkiuVxPT34eAjNx1icn27O6o1eXLwSxR3CqR-ATFEVH-bZfcHxUNxt5yw8jLv9ahqel3SHxmaGfrpMlkaAoFJafp/s320/DSC_0656.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWGRqBQL0YLpI4_RTajE7DWaa-sab3H5J9Ge0nxaYHc2rwb4Powk0BEOuJwF4FQyWfqRV6RM0MchwOT1yXs9Brh9Knlo5EEOvAZWBPX8TqdgenfT7LndtrpDSe6i9cQTFQHo2Vyp7MESn/s1600-h/DSC_0653.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387608221751854546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 281px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWGRqBQL0YLpI4_RTajE7DWaa-sab3H5J9Ge0nxaYHc2rwb4Powk0BEOuJwF4FQyWfqRV6RM0MchwOT1yXs9Brh9Knlo5EEOvAZWBPX8TqdgenfT7LndtrpDSe6i9cQTFQHo2Vyp7MESn/s320/DSC_0653.JPG" border="0" /></a> </p>berlinskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08523976161344610989noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073070873443319072.post-50748805977538745612009-09-26T23:03:00.005+10:002009-09-26T23:53:59.633+10:00Pretty Paper Things...<div><div><div><div>Today I found my new favourite shop! Paper 2 on Crown Street, Surry Hills, Sydney (<a href="http://paper2.com.au/">http://paper2.com.au/</a>). Apparently it has been open for a couple of years but I haven’t had a lazy day strolling Crown Street in so long…I have missed it! Paper 2 has the most beautiful range of paper products I think I have ever seen in one place! They have gift wrapping, cards, invitations, stationery and many more goodies! I bought 3 beautiful posters by Kareena Zerefos (<a href="http://www.kareenazerefos.com/art/">http://www.kareenazerefos.com/art/</a>) and a box of divine little stickers of birds, eggs and nests! Gorgeous!

The Stitches and Craft Show was brilliant! I had such a great time…spending all day surrounded by such fun, talented, interesting, inspiring people! My ruffle clutch bags sold like hot cakes. I accidentally sold the one that my sister desperately wanted for a wedding…oops! I have to make her an extra special one so she will forgive me!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375157247956213794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 288px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7BEo9YEpaLCG1qA7bKUQTKPb7zmU1OYLdVaHlh94YmJdBBacpG2oUho4UifPY_KARfe8FipQpwJIWTHkUg45z1XLYReTFzO1KOQ7Dc0Co4P7e6ncH1hKOdTupOsmRTOfHoBzww6mkYsIt/s320/Copy+of+bag+photos+003.jpg" border="0" />The clutch in question...<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375167961461110834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 287px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 276px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghVdXO1DmKWaqC0AesS6qHvH8MjM-5NK5oGtO10vFPHgOEO6dRo4Dal3vb-QvcYh8t698d9FgTczcIa4fp0BSra08oj9GcrOqD5iW8DZJFHqJWfM-V95d2HqYEd-iA1Daa_loyNuJ3rDfe/s320/Copy+of+bag+photos+549.jpg" border="0" />My stall set up...<br /><br /><div>The absolute highlight of the show for me was meeting Kate from Little Bird at Elliot…a shop in Port Elliot, SA that sells beautiful indie designed pieces. <a href="http://www.littlebirdatelliot.com/">http://www.littlebirdatelliot.com/</a>. Kate has made an order with me and soon my bags and belts will be in her gorgeous shop…just in time for Spring! I am so flattered, amazed and super excited about it!<br /><br />Over the next few weeks I will do a write up of all the beautiful stalls that really inspired me from The Stitches and Craft Show…stay tuned!!<br /><br />The first inspirational stall holder I will feature is Lisa from "The Red Thread" <a href="http://www.theredthread.com.au/">http://www.theredthread.com.au/</a>. Lisa had the space next to me. Her set up was beautiful! She was selling the most gorgeous vintage inspired doll kits and hand printed fabric pieces you have ever seen! Lisa also creates quirky, one of a kind art works that are just DIVINE! She has a great blog too… <a href="http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com/">http://theredthreadblog.blogspot.com/</a> .

I have used quite different areas of the fabric for each side of the bags so it actually looks quite different depending on which way you wear it! </div><div> </div><div>Anyway...better get back to sewing! </div><div> </div></div>berlinskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08523976161344610989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073070873443319072.post-15680360219166436392009-07-20T21:17:00.006+10:002009-07-20T22:30:14.687+10:00Glenbrook Markets<div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360508544710041154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisLJ0dRrX6qKOznmONUgB_rwzAYgPRhiUjFiSaSLcnm8-ZPFxB6rgotkhjWcvFNdsfCMkxCf3pyUWMD4Au0xvnDndVkO4UbR7UKkwkD3LWYp5OuhlstIbVtQ6QN_ERC72yKKeEOOnE1uP3/s320/berlinski+photos+and+images+269.jpg" border="0" /><span style="font-family:georgia;">My trusty old suitcase! </span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil3imhSaFZP6xVJ-5AMR_Tl4mc6SOLPODVMIaisu5OU97vVsK_ABlw7PZZKn8zpeAbNj72RqxTQlFbAMZMtXrz1svT9JUFtFJRh4eRtbsVoh6_lG1RILEWfJDcdkZDZX-KRVZGw4BTNvuL/s1600-h/blog+photos+075.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360508554389446466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 318px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil3imhSaFZP6xVJ-5AMR_Tl4mc6SOLPODVMIaisu5OU97vVsK_ABlw7PZZKn8zpeAbNj72RqxTQlFbAMZMtXrz1svT9JUFtFJRh4eRtbsVoh6_lG1RILEWfJDcdkZDZX-KRVZGw4BTNvuL/s320/blog+photos+075.jpg" border="0" /></a> Mama Duck's super cute bibs<br /><br /><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBy80lr8KFp5y6yDGeGxBAFx5Ya6WCt3Vj6GA3PxSWDYrjmPbU58WQLk3jFfKZsLA0zLOZEjWGeTSPyShRmXwlDGl_sVLV2lrPZhTRm2hHLybI8iyNpc6Nn0AzMADiJhfi714YCKbm_Z-v/s1600-h/blog+photos+070.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360508546322444018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBy80lr8KFp5y6yDGeGxBAFx5Ya6WCt3Vj6GA3PxSWDYrjmPbU58WQLk3jFfKZsLA0zLOZEjWGeTSPyShRmXwlDGl_sVLV2lrPZhTRm2hHLybI8iyNpc6Nn0AzMADiJhfi714YCKbm_Z-v/s320/blog+photos+070.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />This weekend was a Glenbrook market weekend…yay!! The Rotary Glenbrook Markets are on the 3rd Saturday of each month and it's a surprisingly great market. There are heaps of stalls with so many talented local crafts people selling their products...the organic fruit and veggie stalls are also very tempting! It is such a relaxing, friendly market! I have to say, my stall is in the perfect possie for the warmer months…but on Saturday morning I don’t think I have ever been so cold! Apart from my frostbitten toes…it was still a great day! I have a few regular customers that I love seeing each month and I eagerly await to see the latest creations a few of my favourite stalls have up for sale! My absolute favourite stall is Mama Duck by Alison King <a href="http://www.mamaduck.com.au/" target="_blank">http://www.mamaduck.com.au/</a>. She creates a range of gorgeous accessories (rings, earrings and hair clips using vintage beads and buttons) and babies products (super cute bibs, singlet’s and dummie clips). My favourite piece in her range at the moment is a girl silhouette singlet…I just wish I could fit into it! So if you’re ever heading up the mountains on a Saturday I would strongly suggest taking a quick detour off the highway to check if it is the Glenbrook market weekend! </div></div>berlinskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08523976161344610989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073070873443319072.post-14681182071131259142009-07-15T20:20:00.006+10:002009-07-15T21:27:55.887+10:00Shopping...shopping...shopping<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcq9dI_3HSMYNXU3Kwuvq0SwcplI4eYLyLBCwjB2cT1pWwDKHUAcHsmwdHLfMnwMiSVQl20zhk8O749HJoaRlOOVBzPFmoyp8fS3vj48Tc8JaZy-ENzNuxgsTH6lFKKqIvRV9n3rnk5Jnm/s1600-h/blog+photos+053.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358638040896376386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcq9dI_3HSMYNXU3Kwuvq0SwcplI4eYLyLBCwjB2cT1pWwDKHUAcHsmwdHLfMnwMiSVQl20zhk8O749HJoaRlOOVBzPFmoyp8fS3vj48Tc8JaZy-ENzNuxgsTH6lFKKqIvRV9n3rnk5Jnm/s320/blog+photos+053.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBxqGTOhFNSlpy-9SCfCGuf6m7efKG91ZO7yHmHo4xTT5sYrpzzNQyHnderzy0Q0Bv4_GDOVHC4KAdNJcX6dO_JO0deI_Ai1W7v4SgXsYJ9jFukLrbO8qQwIHLa6bHHg6oOnLi12OBijxE/s1600-h/blog+photos+065.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358632275853179970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBxqGTOhFNSlpy-9SCfCGuf6m7efKG91ZO7yHmHo4xTT5sYrpzzNQyHnderzy0Q0Bv4_GDOVHC4KAdNJcX6dO_JO0deI_Ai1W7v4SgXsYJ9jFukLrbO8qQwIHLa6bHHg6oOnLi12OBijxE/s320/blog+photos+065.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358634873403146194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKr8jW0RTx5Dg0dIDHO6T9p9pWYA3Tv1EhsbkZwSI9_K7USl4sJUi52e1Y5YM71dLrqOaUC76KH11Y1M8nphWInoLxjlMQ9VqVy2L5HXfOaYIYw83vouuUBMOe2W6RN5eOj77tb6-pMjTj/s320/blog+photos+056.jpg" border="0" /></div><div></div><br /><div>I had such a great day today doing one of my favourite things…fabric shopping in Surry Hills!

I think the Stitches and Craft Show in August <a href="http://www.stitchesandcraft.com.au/sydney">http://www.stitchesandcraft.com.au/sydney</a> is the perfect place for me to launch the Berlinski Bridal Range!<br /><br />I discovered the vintage silver braids in a mind-blowing antique shop in the Southern Highlands. They actually have real silver woven through them giving them an incredible shine. The intricacy and detail of the hand-woven work is incredible…they are just so beautiful! </div><div><br />The silver and white vintage beaded braid was a lucky score at a recent Lawsons action (<a href="http://www.lawsons.com.au/">http://www.lawsons.com.au/</a>). I had my very first successful bid…YAY!! The auction was for the closing down of a famous costume design business. They had huge amounts of fabrics, braids, ribbons and costumes up for sale. I put in bids for lots of pieces and ended up getting just one…lucky for me it was the one I really, really wanted!</div><div><br />The incredible detail, uniqueness and quality of these braids are exactly what I’ve been looking for to start this range. I think they are absolutely perfect for bridal accessories! </div></div></div>berlinskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08523976161344610989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073070873443319072.post-87601838653471765312009-07-05T18:12:00.005+10:002009-07-05T19:07:38.760+10:00Weekend Finds...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ccNEAnNSruZ6lY7daAqiVuibGcspek2yuXLQd33p89JZKGT2m4dChyWOjRvQtbbKA7YUmglSvV5Oj3Z_vz1tM94E9deQBZF8rdc5SJu2v-J1x766cznziMCdkNEwTuOascWg5IXlpKU_/s1600-h/blog+photos+022.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354890138151348722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ccNEAnNSruZ6lY7daAqiVuibGcspek2yuXLQd33p89JZKGT2m4dChyWOjRvQtbbKA7YUmglSvV5Oj3Z_vz1tM94E9deQBZF8rdc5SJu2v-J1x766cznziMCdkNEwTuOascWg5IXlpKU_/s320/blog+photos+022.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgljsOTEQAFrtOXGQ_FHKkZ3PSEg5F-aJPiQXy_-IekPXkvV5B_X7U8PiO0dd26LNNdOCkSpavwIligAw1miLCXGqRjMD0VxHKLy9OVj3qMwEqVArikcVqlvNizdfmB1F2nDo6fRIRroOQZ/s1600-h/blog+photos+031.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354890134095846930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgljsOTEQAFrtOXGQ_FHKkZ3PSEg5F-aJPiQXy_-IekPXkvV5B_X7U8PiO0dd26LNNdOCkSpavwIligAw1miLCXGqRjMD0VxHKLy9OVj3qMwEqVArikcVqlvNizdfmB1F2nDo6fRIRroOQZ/s320/blog+photos+031.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZC-JPVV9Wg9_zj_6OV1Dd_yXjIQ2UB8vyPzMoXtUa-S24e62Kd2teceZOh4r97-_AcwA-r4gCc56TSAfuRrs-oSzthy7WcGkcfRJ7IGisuTA7D1uXznsDtA-4qV1koQHp1ZQgukFUvyLh/s1600-h/blog+photos+036.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354890129919496578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZC-JPVV9Wg9_zj_6OV1Dd_yXjIQ2UB8vyPzMoXtUa-S24e62Kd2teceZOh4r97-_AcwA-r4gCc56TSAfuRrs-oSzthy7WcGkcfRJ7IGisuTA7D1uXznsDtA-4qV1koQHp1ZQgukFUvyLh/s320/blog+photos+036.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirccRXMfQDea2zUr6QcdFOuVG9NeEQAre1ihrfxcTQhcKrr_IjCNWtgfbivP_MWaTvE0RGusWdf9e5tsL3584d_4lK_C5Uu_HBvpPfgaNZMVaPh3fcrjgOQfKH_EruUE7qssxwI6aLtK1M/s1600-h/blog+photos+034.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354890124261854434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirccRXMfQDea2zUr6QcdFOuVG9NeEQAre1ihrfxcTQhcKrr_IjCNWtgfbivP_MWaTvE0RGusWdf9e5tsL3584d_4lK_C5Uu_HBvpPfgaNZMVaPh3fcrjgOQfKH_EruUE7qssxwI6aLtK1M/s320/blog+photos+034.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilN8jyoKttO2wrhU5LmJYHzcKYP-Pez460mtJnX1sd7TmDg5wArKekauk37zsflyBrZE2llL-CDOGadylxwWEG7tUNV2UFUnytFtTQckqzS2oWhJ6dderOP3MhXsZyeSKKlLxS6XTyr-wo/s1600-h/Copy+of+blog+photos+037.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354889071507725810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilN8jyoKttO2wrhU5LmJYHzcKYP-Pez460mtJnX1sd7TmDg5wArKekauk37zsflyBrZE2llL-CDOGadylxwWEG7tUNV2UFUnytFtTQckqzS2oWhJ6dderOP3MhXsZyeSKKlLxS6XTyr-wo/s320/Copy+of+blog+photos+037.jpg" border="0" /></a>I had one of those relaxing weekends where I was able to find time to explore my local op, retro and antique shops.

In October last year I launched my new little venture called "BERLINSKI"!!<br /><br />Berlinski products are one-of-a-kind handmade handbags, clutch bags and belts. Each Berlinski piece is created to be a unique work of art made from a variety of vintage, antique and contemporary fabrics. All pieces in my collection are designed and sewn by me! I have a passion for beautiful fabrics and detailed embroideries and have collected many pieces over the years and am now using them in my work. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">I love the idea of being able to have beautiful, unique and environmentally friendly accessories!! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Over the past couple of months I have been sewing like crazy, churning out bags for a big market that I was lucky enough to be involved in called The Finders Keepers. Check out the website: </span><a href="http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/markets.php"><span style="font-family:georgia;">http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/markets.php</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;">. It was such an amazing market with so many inspiring designers...I was in absolute awe!! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:georgia;">I have recently been contacted by Living Creatively (<a href="http://www.livingcreatively.com.au/">http://www.livingcreatively.com.au/</a>) who asked me to be involved in the Sydney Stitches and Craft Show in August as an "Indie Incubator" which I am very excited about!! Check it out: </span><a href="http://www.stitchesandcraft.com.au/sydney"><span style="font-family:georgia;">http://www.stitchesandcraft.com.au/sydney</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;">. I am ready for many a late night in preparation for that...what would I do without freshly ground coffee and my trusty old plunger!!</span> </p>berlinskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08523976161344610989noreply@blogger.com3
