Doodles From Abroad

When we were searching for inspiration for 'the Wolf and i'    logo last year we happily stumbled across the very talented          AMY BLACKWELL's doodles!

We just love all of Amy's illustrations and were very chuffed  when she doodled a design just for us!

..and 'the wolf was born' LOVE LOVE LOVE!

A BIT ABOUT AMY BLACKWELL

"My name’s Amy and I class myself as a ‘doodler’. I’m currently based in Nottingham where I live, work and play. I came here for university purposes but never got round to leaving. I spend a lot of my time colouring things in and printing. My favourite colour at the moment is lime green. I like sewing but I’m a lazy sewer so I get worse as I go along (that’s why the cotton doodles are so small). I love to read. I’m hopeless at crosswords. I like the circus, autumn and halloween (just the sweets and the pumpkins). BIG fan of conkers. I once made a pair of shoes and a violin out of cardboard. I’m allergic to horror movies. I could go on and on and on but I won’t :)"

Fryerstown Antique Fair.

Fryerstown Antique Fair first started in 1975 and is held once a year. We are surprised this is the first time we have heard of it! Only an hour and a half from Melbourne with over 180 stall holders selling their treasures. This is my idea of heaven. 

(except for the dust and the fact I had two small kids with me!)

 Love a bread bin! And what a bargain. 

 Camp stools. Handy for resting our weary bones at the markets.

 Two wooden ladders have given us the inspiration we needed for our display at 'Life in Style' our first trade event in Feb.

These ceramic pipes are a bit of a mystery. Apparently from the 1900s. Thinking they could be transformed into necklaces... 

These metal stencils were exactly what we were looking for! 

Stay tuned to see what we do with these. 

No Bingo! Regret not buying this gorgeous piece.

My 5 year old boy would not budge until we bought this container of matchbox cars for $20. Most of them from 2000s, hardly antiques except for...

...this 1970s 'side kick car' very cool!

So if you are looking for old suitcases, trunks, old tools, glassware, ceramics, hangers, kitchenwares, fabrics and things alike, Fryerstown in Victoria, is definitely the place to go. 

It does get a little overwhelming, you may need to pull up some dusty ground, sit back and enjoy a sausage in bread before continuing!
