amanda's market bag

it has been a busy time for birthdays. lucky for me a fabulous new store has opened up just around the corner. maker handmade is located in park street, south melbourne. the store is filled with beautiful local handmade items.

i bought the birthday girl a market bag with a screenprinted artichoke on it from melbourne designers yardage design. as their website states, all yardage design products are hand screen-printed using water-based inks onto natural fibre base cloths (organic cotton, linen, hemp).

i made a card for amanda out of brown paper. on the front i stuck a gift tag with a little bird stamp. the present was wrapped in recycled bronze paper with a brown and white stripped ribbon.

amanda, i hope you fill your bag with lots of treasures when you next visit the market.

and the owner of maker handmade, rachael, blogs here. a lovely little blog to match her lovely little shop.
