Re-Loved Pop-Up Shop a huge success






We had a fantastic weekend with a brand new venture for Re-Loved Creations, the 3 days only temporary shop at the Canberra Centre.

Ten designers and artisans came together to showcase their fabulous one-off creations and original artworks. Everything from handcrafted little gifts, baby booties and toys, original art, digital artwork to unbelievable head wear and designer clothing and accessories...it was all there.

When I first thought up the idea of Re-Loved Creations this is exactly what I wanted to achieve: showcasing local artists and designers...and didn't the public just lap it up!!

Kristi even had a little fun playing jokes on passers-by by posing as a shop mannequin in the shop window.

A huge thank you goes to my dedicated team: Lee Dewar, our hard working event manager and the other half of Re-Loved Creations; Kristi Dewar our house model extraordinaire and budding artist with her individual pop-art on the walls; Lisa Barrett (aka Tango & James label with her beautiful vintage inspired range) our interior designer for making our shop look absolutely fabulous and for being there for me when I needed extra help; Barb Mickelson (BM Designs) for her gorgeous head wear (I'm now converted..love the hats!) and for being so caring; and all the other designers and artists who made this event so special!
