Just a little note to let you know that Pili Pala is now officially on holidays until the new year. Any orders placed through the online shop will not be able to be dispatched until the first week of January.

Wishing you a very safe, fun-filled and happy Christmas.

Here's to an exciting new year!

The Christmas Countdown!

I can't believe it's December and that I quit/retired/left my job as a Health Professional one year ago to pursue my passion for 'handmade'. I've survived and actually Pili Pala is thriving. I have a handful of very lovely stockists, an online shop and regular appearances at markets and I have managed to stay afloat - amazing (very thankful)!! I only have 2 more markets for 2010 (both Salamanca - can't wait) and then it's full-steam ahead into 2011.

I'll continue to attend Salamanca every second weekend until the baby is born and will also co-manage The Barn Market. As for what will happen when the baby makes an appearance, well... we'll just wait and see. I'll continue stocking my stockists, but perhaps slow down a little on the market side of things (maybe, if I can stay away!).

Anyway, below is a few photos from The Market 2 weekends ago - and please note (and make a big fuss of) the little, slightly battered, brother to my famous big green meatsafe. (I was SO excited when I found the smaller version of my meatsafe - I probably paid too much for it, but I definitely wasn't going home without it!!)

Enjoy the countdown to Christmas and time with family and friends. I'll be back next year... xo
