Jetsam jet·sam (jĕt′səm): Discarded odds and ends.

Re-found vintage fabric, vintage clothing and handmade junque jewellery created from the overlooked detritus of daily life.

And now for something with reel al-lure! The first of my fishing lure necklaces, with a chain created from reclaimed swivels to ensure a very sustainable catch.

Be the first to land one at my stall in the sydneystreet.gallery, along with a dozen other creative makers!) this Saturday at 19 Sydney Street Marrickville (5 minutes from Sydenham station).

Sydney Street Market Trail, Saturday July 25 from 10am-4pm

A little taster of what I’ve been working on for the Sydney Street Maker’s Market Trail, rapidly approaching on July 25!

I’m also madly experimenting with bra hardware necklaces, hand painted vintage glass and acrylic button rings, fishing lure neck wear and more. All dropping in just under 2 weeks’ time at the sydneystreet.gallery at 19 Sydney Street Marrickville, 10-4pm Saturday July 25.

Story time: My eldest sister is a brilliant knitter, and made a fabulous green cable knit cardi for her granddaughter. The road to hell being paved with good intentions, her partner threw it in the washing machine with a load, and her gorgeous knit came out a shrunken, felted tragedy.

I hung onto it for some years thinking I could possibly do something creative with it but, finally admitting I can’t possibly produce every single idea (or whisper of one), I gifted it to the delightful Keith Lo Bue of who - with his extraordinary talent, skills, superb craftsmanship and magic -transformed the ruin into this brilliant 1920s/30s style cap.

I take my hat off to Keith for giving this story a truly happy (cappy?) ending! 💚

And now for something completely different! I’m pretty excited to be heading out to Central West NSW this weekend NOT to do a market, but to perform with the excellent who are headlining this year’s !

My choir is doing backing harmonies on a bunch of ABBA favourites; it’ll be all I can do to not sing along with Agnetha and Frida 🫢 My bloke and I are then going to cruise on to Orange and Mudgee where it won’t be us hitting up the excellent country oppies, where I’m sure I won’t find any amazing vintage fabric to bring home 🙃

(FYI that’s me on the left in the first photo, doing some BVs with my friend Suzy’s Motown band, Suzy & The Snakepit 🤩)
