Thankyou to everyone who commented yesterday. I was so inspired to read about lovely people buying handmade/locally made gifts. Initially I was going to reply as a comment but then thought that your responses were so sincere that they were definately worth publishing here:
Sarah, I'd love to see a picture of the pinny that you bought from Douglas & Hope and I was little worried when I read that you'd bought a flinch pin. My mind immediately conjured up some sort of archaic torture device. ok, I was a bit tired when I read this and so I was then relieved to discover that you'd actually written, Betty Jo finch pin. The perfect gift! >Cathy, well done on your beautiful, local purchases. Your comments sent me on a wonderful meandering journey through blogland. I rediscovered the Rose St Market blog and of course read about your art swap which I'm keen to read more about soon. I still haven't added my favourite books to my profile but Shantaram and Moduc are definately on my list!> Venta what could be more perfect than a handmade gift for the Mirabel Foundation from the masters of craft, Meet me at Mikes.> And kvb, is Arthur's Circus that fun-looking shop on Nicholson St next to the ANZ? I'll be sure to use your quote from now on ("buying gifts for others salves my need for retail therapy").> So what could be more soothing than buying your sister a Nancy Bird Clutch (klar). Now I wish I had a sister!>Thanks for your comments Anna. Do let me know the name of the jewellery store when you find out.>Sophie I really enjoyed reading your comments and your beautiful blog. My list of places/people to check out is now a mile long.>And finally to my anonymous respondant, I'm continually amazed by people at home with children who continue to create (beyond muffins for afternoon tea). Well done.
To everyone mentioned above, thankyou and I'll be sending out your bangle samples this week. You can either email me at sam@aprilmay.com.au with your address or if you're happy to wait, you can collect them from the studio when we open next week on Friday the 4th of April. Either way, please be sure to wear them when you're at Aprilmay next so that I can put some faces to your blogs.

Oooh, I am so excited, and so lucky. The bracelets look so beautiful in the photograph.
And what a lovely post about everyone and their purchases. Thank you.
I am going to send you my address in case I can't get there over the weekend of the 4th. Hopefully though I will pop in that weekend too.
I hope you are enjoying your journey in Blogland.
Cathy
