state of design - the rest of the days at d:m:t

i was very optimistic naming the previous post 'day 1', as if i was going to continue up with chapters 2, 3 and 4 -  the past few days were craziness! so many visitors came through our studios and really engaged with us and our work. i intended to get around and take some shots of other stands, but in the end it was actually great just to meet a lot of people that i knew of but never met in person including lara and tegan, yumi, george and of course, the other open studio participants. lucy over at the design files has a pretty comprehensive wrap up of the event (including a photo of me with a goofy smile) that you can see here. thanks lucy!

anita and kim from craft victoria were lovely as always and milly flemming, who handled most of the organisation is nothing short of super-amazing. i'm not exaggerating. nicholas was a great studio partner, very gentlemanly and extremely generous in introducing me to lots of new people.

it seemed like everyone at the event was shopping up a storm - i was so clueless- i didn't even really bring in any stock to sell. but i did manage to pick up a few little things - 

a macrame plant hanger from stampel (and in the background is a framed card by sandra eterovic, a blog buddy who i met).

a necklace from emily green

and, and, and  a gorgeous silver and 10 carat gold ring by milly flemming herself. i love gold and silver used together and i'm so excited to have another beautiful delicate ring that i can wear all the time.

thank you state of design and craft victoria! the event was so much fun but it's good to be back at home.
