a new venture (& an explanation for my recent absence)

I have to apologise for my recent absence from the blogosphere...but I can assure you that I have a very good explanation! Aside from the fact that the hours and the days and the weeks just keep flying past, I have been an extra extra busy little bee.

Just over a month ago a very good friend and I made an exciting decision to start a business together...our new venture is almost a month old and I am really pleased to be able to share a few tangible pieces of our recent adventures with you :)
Jackson & Kerr - the partnership of Megan Jackson and myself - launched at the wonderful Handmade Market here in Canberra early last month. We've attended 2 markets at Canberra's own Old Bus Depot Markets in recent weeks and are enjoying the debut of our new little business.

We are creating a unique range of eco-dyed, 100% certified organic cotton t-shirts that are made and designed right here in Australia. With styles for men, women, kids, infants and babies - there is a fit for everyone!

If you are interested in reading more or following our journey, please feel free to visit our blog at www.jacksonandkerr.wordpress.com. And if you can't make it to Canberra to see our lovely t-shirts in person, you can also see them online through our etsy store or our Australian store.

That's right...the wait is over - Handmade Market is on again! Hurrah!!

The next Handmade Market - Canberra's UpMarket - is on this coming weekend. Handmade in Bloom on Friday September 11th (6pm-9pm) and Saturday September 12th (10am-4pm) is set to kick off the same weekend as Floriade. What better reason to come and kick back in Canberra!?

Handmade will be moving to a new venue in the lovely Yarralumla Woolshed...and for the first time will open on Friday night with a twilight market before the full market day on Saturday!

Without a doubt it will be another fantastic event...lots more space, wide aisles, tons of parking, fabulous new retailers, new products from your favourites...we hope to see you there!

moyou in sydney | young blood: designers market

Moyou is very excited to be traveling to Sydney this weekend for the fantastic Young Blood: Designers Market, at the Powerhouse Museum.

The coming Young Blood: Designers Market is being held as part of Sydney Design 09. Showcasing approximately 50 of Australia's emerging talented designers, it is sure to be a wonderful event! The Powerhouse Museum is located at 500 Harris Street, Ultimo in Sydney and for the first time Young Blood will be held in the Powerhouse Museum's main gallery - the Turbine Hall.



Admission to the museum/market will be $5 (a fabulous 50% discount off the regular $10 admission fee) - and on top of this I have a special 2-for-1 offer that I can email to you if you are interested, which will see you and a friend enter for a total of $5! If you would like to receive this special 2-for-1 offer please contact me via email: amy@moyou.com.au

Young Blood is on Friday evening (August 14) from 6pm-9pm and Saturday (August 15) from 10am–5pm....so if you're in Sydney this weekend and you're free, please come along, say hi and see Moyou's gorgeous range in person!

The past week has been enormously busy but I just wanted to share a couple of images from Moyou's stall at Magnolia Square in Sydney last Thursday, Friday & Saturday.

a new moyou range | sneak peek

I can hardly contain my excitement about this new project...and it has been difficult keeping it under wraps for so long. It is nearing completion and I can now show you a sneak peek of this secret-squirrel range that I have been working on.

A couple of early pics of the coming Moyou handmade ceramic range - currently undergoing their 3rd and final firing. They will have their grand unveiling at Magnolia Square Sydney next week.
