Purses...

E and I went to the Unwrapped Market in Leederville today. It was fairly warm early on, and it was already 35C when we were browsing through the stalls. E's shoes were really not up to the task, and she was continually commenting that her feet were burning through the soles! I of course foolishly did not put on enough (any!) sunscreen so the back of my neck is pink. I do need to buy myself a hat that fits, so that shall be on my list to buy on Monday.

It was a fairly hot day and we felt for the stall holders who would be there until 5pm with no relief. There was an umbrella to share between each stall but it did not cover nearly enough of the table and stall holders.


There were a few old favourites and also some interesting new stalls. E's friend was there with her label Nashi and The Magpie and some cute bolero jackets. It was just too hot to try anything on! Plus, in an (unconscious) effort to not spend money, we had limited cash funds between us. We had both intended to visit the CBA ATM on Oxford Street but it had gone from its usual spot and we had no idea if it had moved or been replaced! Not a good idea to go to a market without cash.

I bought a new purse! It is by Little Tea Party, and the promo picture from the Perth Upmarket blog shows the purse that I bought!


The other product that I was really taken by was the felt being sold by B&M Felt. The product is 100% wool, made in Germany. I was thinking yesterday that I would like to get something nice to use as a centrepiece for the table when we have guests, to lay hot dishes on, and something a bit nicer than multiple cork mats from Ikea! I have to consult with C and see what he would like, and hopefully we can agree on some colours for our table! The table is 1500mm square and solid jarrah, so it would nice to have something square for the centre. My current thought is to have four pieces of the 50cm square felt but we shall see!

After we had browed the markets we headed back down Oxford Street. There are some lovely stores in Leederville, and a couple of my favourites are Remedy and Urban Depot.
