Fijian Crafts
It's a crafternoon every day in Fiji for some Fijian women.
It was lots of fun watching the Fijian women set up in a picturesque location at the resort, overlooking the sea, weaving bags, hats & traditional Fijian hula skirts.
I had to know more about their weaving process...here is what I learnt
They use leaves from a Pandana tree to weave with (there i am under the tree below!) But in order for the leaves to be ready to weave, they boil them in a pot, sun it & then smooth it with a sea shell ready for weaving. A process they said has been happening for centuries. It was really inspiring watching them craft & seeing their finished products on display.
I hope you enjoy the pics of their crafts.
Being Fiji, shells seem to be the item of choice. I loved the shell pillows on display in the lobby & the delicate shell chandeliers I spied in a boutique at the marina. The fabric photographed below was on an ottoman in the boutique. Such a fun fabric!
Below, are some pics of the local craft market. Great to walk through & watch them work.
Their was lots of sunny, happy crafts on display in Fiji.

Accessories that pop!
I bought some really fun accessories today!
I'm just loving hot pink at the moment, so these bracelets were a must have.
I love the little tassels on the bracelet, they remind me of mini feather dusters!
It's summer in Australia at the moment & I just love the beach, so what better time to be wearing a combination of sea blue & deep coral in these earrings than now!
I think the fastest way to update your look & stay on trend is by wearing accessories in this seasons colours.
I bought these at the always glamorous homewares store:
Wen & Ware
175 Glenferrie Rd
Malvern
Vic
The designer of the tassel bracelet is Australian Jewellery designer Angel diamond dot
Have a look around their site for a really modern & creative way of using colours that pop, unique settings and raw semi-precious stones.
If you want a striking statement piece, that says WOW when you walk into a party, then their jewellery is for you!
A designer to watch both in Australia and abroad.
