We love Isabella - the Preachers Rocks!
WINTERLAND at Carrageworks-Sydney
The first night went off with a great selection of bands, we almost forgot to mind our stall!
Then a beautiful girl approached us wishing to purchase one of our selection of vintage beaded cardigans...
Softly spoken, so graceful, I thought she might be a model or a dancer.
Then she told us that she is the last performer tonight and she is going to wear the cardi on the stage, we were so stoked!
When I checked the line up, the last performing band was the Preachers.
When they were on, it was nothing like I was expected from the quiet spoken girl I saw.
Her vocal was so powerful and so amazing they ROCKED!
She kindly gave me an autograph and I got to take a photo with her:-)
We love you Isabella and thank you so much for the great night!!

Perth Upmarket Wrap Up
"Are We gonna be inside or outside....????"
Perth Upmarket's new venue, Winthrop Hall, had been damaged due to the BIG storm.

Luckily repair was all done before the big day.
Great atmosphere with beautiful pipe organ as a back drop,
We had our record number of visitors 10000 people!
We thank all the visitors supporting local designers.
Without you people, we can not survive.
Next Up Market is 27th June.
