Somebody brought a kid along, who made a beeline for the food and ate all the corn chips. 
And during the fascinating demonstration of the printing process, managed to be right under Lara's elbow...
...the whole way down the table.
And then the kid drew some pictures and insisted that Tegan ignore the customers and admire them "on BOTH sides, because they're very good." I've no idea who brought the child, but I'm sure she'll never be invited again.
Strangely, the same child was there when I got to the Made 'n' Thornbury market (mostly seen loitering about the craft table and sitting herself down for some face-painting).
It was great to see all the gals from the "Make Craft Your Business" course that I met a few months ago (when I was speaker at one of the sessions) with their own craft market stalls. 
And 'twas an absolute joy to see Veronica from Mulberry Threads with her fabulous felted accessories. Veronica was one of my most dedicated students - regularly making a 4-hour round-trip to come to bag-making classes. I think she could show me a thing or twenty about felting.... her work is stunning.This crochet wire work was lovely, too.
These gorgeous critters by Make It Wednesday were totally charming. They're all made from odd socks and pre-loved clothing, handmade in Melbourne and completely original. Love, love, love... and you can buy them here.
I also caught up with Lara, Cathie, Margaret, Melanie and my friend Lisa (blogless and not crafty, but very nice) and a few other stall-holders I've come to know over the years.Then Lisa and I went for a late lunch in a cafe (Plan B, since the drinks stand had closed up early at the market). It was fabulous to be able to spend relaxed time with one of my oldest-and-dearests and have a good catch-up (funny....that kid was there, too, roaming about with her cat-face facepaint, making friends with other diners).
And then I came home and had a long telephone conversation with Leonie.....
And then I didn't feel like talking anymore. So my beautiful wee girl and I did some knitting together.
