As we mentioned a couple of weeks back it's fete season, they're everywhere and really excellent places to pick up whackadoodle craft objects, old books and second hand kids toys, not too mention a barbie'd snag (in white bread with sauce of course), dodgy lamingtons and a plethora of preserve options. We have to admit however, we are a little weirded out by the new trend for glammy coffee carts. They just seem, well, rather un-fete like... we expect luke-warm polystyrene cups of weak tea. Anyways, last weekend we hit one of the locals (we're blessed with about seventy primary schools within 15 minutes!!) and were thrilled to find this little 'wool craft' number, especially since it clearly once resided in the Channel Nine children's library. Who'd have thought... a children's library at Channel Nine? what crazy times those 1970's were.
We loved that it included such time honored favourites as the wool star (above), some nail & metal thread art ideas and a wee bit of finger weaving , but it was this insane string 'witch doctor' mask and costume combo that really blew our minds...
just nutty, and of course any craft you need to put a bucket on your head to complete is OK by us.
