Subi Street Festival

After a few false starts I finally met my sister at the Subiaco Street Festival last night! We had planned to get there for the start at 5pm however I was distracted by a retaining wall and did not make it in until 7pm.

So, it was a power shop for me at the market stalls this year!

We met outside Mr Sparrow and went inside to browse their unique and interesting collection. The shop is a little bit out of the way from the main Subi strip but well worth the effort of having a look!

The Subi Street Festival closes off part of Rokeby Road. Between Bagot Road and Hay Street were many food stalls, entertainers, childrens activities and all sorts. From Hay Street to Roberts Road is the Subi Upmarket, home to many different and interesting stalls selling handmade goodies! We powerwalked through the food stalls - due I think to my lateness, as last year we explored the side streets - to get to the other side of Hay Street and the Upmarket.

There were many old favourites at the Upmarket, and some new faces. I was impressed by the beautiful prints and products of Formosa Design, and acquired myself a new t-shirt and cushion cover! E queried my need for a cushion cover, and to be honest I do not need any more to cover my couches, but I did have a spare insert so that it can be added to my collection rather than languish in a drawer somewhere.

You can buy from Formosa online through their website or from their Etsy store.

The t-shirt has small sleeves and is quite long, good to protect my shoulders from the summer sun and according to E the length will hide my butt-crack. Thanks E.

The cushion has a gorgeous blue wren and I could not resist! The fabric is a 100% organic cotton/hemp blend, and ties in well with my Ink & Spindle, Spacecraft and Bholu cushions.
