February 5 Rummage registration

2012-01-23T23:39:00.000-08:00

REGISTRATIONS FOR FEBRUARY 5 RUMMAGE ARE NOW OPEN!

PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN REGISTRATION FEE- IT IS NOW A $25 STALL FEE

This cost includes:

$15 stall registration fee

$10 insurance coverage

Now we want to explain this increase in price:

Firstly, with the growth of this event, have come a growth in costs... So we have had to increase our stall fee by $5 to be able to cover the various elements (venue, marketing, artist fees, administration, wages etc).

Secondly, insurance is a killer... unfortunately, we weren't able to cover all of you within the original fee cost, and with the large amount of wonderful stalls we get, the fee for insurance also increased... If we don't cover this cost however, we wouldn't be able to run the event. Full stop. No two ways about it unfortunately.

We hope you all understand! We look forward to seeing you all again in February.

Love Suitcase Rummage xx

Introducing another of our talented Rummagers! ...

My name is Sarah Fallon and I live in the Redlands, south east of Brisbane. I graduated from the University of Queensland in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Film and Television (not the most vocational of degrees). I new I wanted to do something creative, I just didn't know what, so once I graduated I started playing. I'd always had an interest in jewellery making and so I eventually stumbled back into it. I looked at other peoples work, experimented with technique and style, and found something I really enjoyed doing. It's been about five months since I got started now and I'm really excited with how things are going. My other interests are illustration and writing.

You can contact Sarah for more information below, or drop in say and G'day at the Rummage!

Introducing one of our brand new Rummagers! ... check out her suitcase this Sunday for some recovered treats!

My mother taught me never to waist anything. If you have old apples you stew them, if you have stale crackers you put them in the oven to make them crisp. This waist not want not mentality then shifted to textiles. If you have a nice dress that doesn’t fit anymore…turn it into a top or…if you have old bed linen turn it into a laptop sleeve!

Needless to say all Recovery items are handmade using recycled materials, making old into new. Most items are made from vintage bed linen that I have collected over time from op shops, some incorporate old scarfs and even old clothes that have been dismantled.

This Sunday will be my first Rummage, I will be selling laptop/ipad sleeves, charger cases, pencil cases and if I can manage to get it finished I will have a quilt cover for sale also.

I’m very excited to be a part of the rummage. Big thanks to the organiser’s of this easily accessible market .

For more information or to contact Recovery, please see details below.

Introducing one of our Rummagers - Hannah from ruby&lo!

Hi everyone, my name is Hannah and I make jewellery and fashion accessories under the name of ruby&lo. ruby&lo started off as a holiday hobby, and now that I've graduated from high school I can focus on growing my label full time.

I taught myself how to sew, and could spend all day choosing fabrics and coordinating lining to be made into pencil cases, clutches, pouches and coin purses. I aim to create unique yet practical items that can be given as gifts or kept for yourself. There is always something for everyone, and I create my products with every age group in mind.

I've been rummaging since March, and I love coming back each month to catch up with other regular stall holders and see returning customers, coming back for more! It is always so thrilling to see people wearing my jewellery or using my purses. Coming up to Christmas, I will be busy creating new products for Summer 2011/12, that will all make perfect (& affordable) Christmas gifts.

Thank you to everyone who continues to come out and support the local handmade artists! It means so much to me knowing that people are enjoying the products I love to create. See you at the next Rummage.

You can find ruby&lo products on madeit: www.madeit.com.au/rubyandlo & keep up to date on facebook:www.facebook.com/rubyandlo

Introducing....

Yukiko - another one of our lovely Rummagers! Visit her at Etsy, her Blog or Her Facebook page......

I was born and raised in Japan.
I have moved around the world with my husband for the last 10 years; 3 years in New Zealand, 4 years in Japan, 2 years in Vietnam
and I came to Brisbane just over one year ago.

I studied interior décor while I was in New Zealand which influenced me a lot about coordinating colours, patterns and textures.

When I was in Vietnam, I worked for a shop that sold vintage items as well as manufacturing clothing and accessories. Through the job I became familiar with various kinds of textiles and gained experience in shop management, production management and graphic design.

I learned about kimono dressing several years ago, and soon I started buying vintage kimono at antique markets in Japan. I was so fascinated by their beautiful patterns, diverse designs and colours, gradually I started to see kimono fabric as a great material for my craft projects. I self taught sewing and jewellery making. I started selling hand craft items online, at events and flea markets about four months ago.

About my products:

Kimono jewellery and accessories

I make a wide range of kimono jewellery and accessories with various kinds of kimono fabrics. Kimono fabrics with small patterns are used for kimono jewellery, kimono fabrics with bold larger patterns are used for bags and scarves, and obi sash fabrics are used for pouches and clutch bags. I usually get inspiration when I see the fabrics I like, then I decide what to make with them. So I am constantly making something new with different fabrics.

Original jewellery
I source jewellery materials from all over the world including my home country, Japan. I usually mix vintage and contemporary beads which often makes unique yet stylish jewellery.

Introducing....

Another of our lovely Rummagers - meet Tennille of Twig and Bird:

Twig and Bird has been a concept in my head for some time and it finally blossomed to life this spring with my first suitcase rummage. I have started with only a small range, but have many exciting pieces I want to create and add to my collection.

My dream is to allow my creative side to evolve, while developing a business that will allow me to stay at home with my young bub - the most rewarding job of my life to date.

Twig and Bird style is handmade and a twist of vintage. Old, up-cycled and new wears that show the heart, soul and love of their creator. Amongst my own work, I also have vintage fabrics that have been re-created into beautiful hats and up-cycled toys with plenty of personality - made by a couple of my clever friends.

Recently I started learning how to croche, and next in line is a sewing course... keeping me creating and bring new delights to my little venture.

'Like' my facebook page 'Twig and Bird' and join me on my journey as I begin to upload new bits and bobs and one-off pieces that will bring a little joy to your heart.

Introducing...

Another of our lovely Rummagers - Clare, of lil curly top

Hello there! My name is Clare and my label is 'lil curly top'. I am studying a Diploma in Fashion at MSIT.

A few years ago my Aunty taught me how to crochet and I fell in love! I enjoy the journey

of creating a new design, all the sampling before you get that eureka moment when everything just looks how I imagined it.

My favourite yarn to use is anything big, chunky and soft. I like designing unique statement pieces which have people turning for a second look. I want to revive the art of crochet and handmade, make it something that everyone wants to be apart of.

I've been attending markets for the past year or so, mainly at the Young Designer Markets at Southbank till recently when I discovered Suitcase Rummage. I just knew it was the place to be!

I also have an online store for my accessories www.lilcurlytop.etsy.com.

Visit Clare online at her store, or see her at the next Suitcase Rummage!

Check out the latest edition (issue 9) for the full article. Or visit their website for lots of lovely things to look at...

Introducing....

It's the incredibly creative Jimmy - a regular at our Rummage..

Hi gang, I'm Jimmy and I make clothing, accessories, jewelery and other miscellany under the label Restless. I only sell at the Suitcase Rummage at the moment along with a suitcase of vintage and retro clothing and knick knacks. I'm a veteran marketeer, 10yrs on and off, selling my wares from Valley to Byron Bay and the Rummage from their beginning.

My background is in visual arts and fashion design so I always bring some things that are fascinating and curious. In the previous rummages I've brought medical skulls, russian bear fur hats, my hand painted dolls to my own hair (when I had hair!) made into a necklace.

I occasionally bring my typewriter for people to write their own love letters. One time a fella wrote one that was 5 pages!
I've been concentrating on leather craft lately, all my pieces are hand made and some are even hand stitched. I make new items every month so there's always something different at my stall. Look out for some ostrich, cane toad and snakeskin items in the future rummages!
I reuse as much materials as I can, my leather are all cut offs and I use many things (like zips) from op shops.
Thanks for continuing to support the Suitcase Rummage, vintage and retro gear and especially us, the local handmade artisans!

See you next Rummage. My facebook is facebook.com/restlessaustralia

You can visit Jimmy here.

Introducing....

Another one of our lovely Rummagers - Linda....

My name is Linda and I create beanies and more.
I combine good quality yarns, quirky designs and embellishments to make individual looking beanies.

I have been selling my wares at markets around Brisbane for a few years now and love the people and atmosphere you find there.
My favourite creation has been an Alice in Wonderland themed Mad Hatter Tea Party where beanies looked like teapots, cakes and scarves were made of iced vo vo's, cupcakes and fob watches.

You can find Linda at our Rummage tomorrow!

Introducing....

Simmone of Your Organ Grinder!

I'm Your Organ Grinder and The Little Orchard, otherwise known as Simmone. I make the Organs and the cute brooches and other bits and pieces, plus bundles of other things I just cant roll down to the Rummage every month! I'm a needlefelter, sewer, and general crafter, I'm not good at drawing , but can pretty much make anything out of felt or fleece.
My favourite Organs to make are the needlefelted ears and brains, I also love to needlefelt Owls, and have a few owl necklaces available at the rummage. My favourite thing about making Organs, apart from the personal love of creating them, is hearing the stories from the buyers of the Organs, people tell me about their operations, their illness, their treatments, their quirky collections, their jobs, their University theses, I love chatting to my customers and hearing about what the piece they buy means to them.
The Little Orchard is all handmade cuties, as well as a few weird creatures. I love fabric and have a lot of it, so I make badges and necklaces out it these days. Come say "hi" at the next rummage!

You can visit Simmone and her wonderful creations here.

Rummagers

We'd like to introduce the lovely.....

Sarah Rochford of Box Brownies

Box Brownies all started after I saw the ad in Four Thousand which was calling out for people to be involved in the first Suitcase Rummage. I just happened to have found an old suitcase on the side of the road during Council pick up the week before and thought it must have been a sign. I have always loved handmade and unique vintage items but I have only in past year rediscovered my love of creating all things handmade. Most of my items are derived from my love of all things pop culture and nostalgia.

Suitcase Rummage is a brilliant platform for all budding artists or simple crafters like me who like to get out and meet like minded people and to see others enjoy your craft. So if you are in need of a 'Mo' make sure you come and visit me at the August Rummage.

Introducing another wonderful Rummager - Sarah Hazlehurst of

Ahoy Dear Sailor....

Ahoy Dear Sailor derived from my love of anything and everything vintage as well as my obsession for nautical clothing.

I started making badges and jewelery which is always fun, as well as selling vintage collectibles. Each handmade item is original and all vintage is hand selected and one of a kind!

I personalize badges and jewelery to your order and will hunt for any specific vintage item you have been searching for!!

Sarah's suitcase at the Rummage is just gorgeous - check her out next time! Visit her lovely blog at http://ahoydearsailor.blogspot.com/

Registrations for the August 8 Rummage are now open!

Please go to our Registration Page to sign up for the next Rummage.

PLEASE NOTE:

Unfortunately, we have to start charging $10 for a spot at Suitcase Rummage... This is so we can cover costs and keep the Rummage continuing!

You can still bring up to three suitcases to sell your wares from and we will collect the $10 on the day when you arrive.

We hope you understand and continue to support the Rummage!

See you in August.

We'd like to introduce another of our wonderful suitcase holders....

Ricky Sullivan of Laundry Prints Co.

Photography has always been an interest to me, my Father and Auntie both have a history of developing their own prints. Even my Grandfather would develop contact prints and send them to my Grandmother while serving in the war.

We've been developing prints in our make shift laundry lab since 2008. We've spent many nights standing on a cold, wet floor, experimenting with traditional techniques of print making.

Each print is a unique work of art, no two prints are exactly the same. There are no computers involved, just lots of attention to detail, perfecting our craft print by print.

We sell our prints frameless and unmounted, making our works easy enough to give as gifts. Or for a more personal touch, we can mount or frame any of our photos for you.

Come check out our collection, we're building it week by week and hope to add a new selection for every suit case rummage.

We call ourselves the Laundry Print Co. Have a chat to us at Suitcase Rummage this Sunday or visit our new site at laundryprintscompany.com.

Ricky and Dean.

We have so many gorgeous and wonderful Suitcase holders that come and partake in Suitcase Rummage. We want to introduce you to some over the next little while, so you can put faces to names at the Rummage!

This time around the Rummager we want to introduce you to is Laura:

Being an artist and mad opshopper for several years now, I have built up quite the collection of vintage & retro treats. I love anything with a great pattern or that carries a little bit of history to it. As a keen baker, kitchenalia has been a long time favourite of mine and especially teacups
and cake plates that I can put to good use with my baked goods.

I love anything that reminds me of my beautiful grandmothers which I'll either use in my art or to decorate my eclectic home. As my collection increases, I thought it time to share some of these collectables with other likeminded people.

Suitcase rummage has been the perfect platform for this. If I can cut 10 metres of my vintage curtain fabric or wallpaper in half and give someone the same enjoyment that I get from having it for a fraction of antique centre prices, then finding me at rummage is your best bet. Come and have a chat over retro pillowcases & english cake plates some time, I'd love to meet you.

Introducing....

Belinda is a cross-disciplinary folk artist, based in Melbourne and inspired by culture and celebration. Community based, covering a range of styles in both digital and traditional mediums, Belinda's confident use of colour and figurative approach conjours memories of childhood, paying homage to the illustrative artists/designers of the 60’s and 70’s, with a contemporary sophistication.
