PICA’s Artists Car Boot Sale is back! In an exuberant carnivalesque atmosphere, artists will again take over the Perth Cultural Centre, creating a unique microcosm of art and collectables within a landscape of cars, tables, tarpaulins and suitcases. New works will appear alongside older works getting a second airing, while collected art, trash, treasure and shiny collectables will frame performance and installation unique to the day.

Members of the public are invited to come along for a day of digging for treasure and ogling the goods. Enjoy a bevy of beautiful objects, all chosen with an artist’s careful eye and take home a masterpiece or two!

Tasty treats and delicious beverages will all be available for the day, along with plenty of entertainment.

Yes it seems its getting closer to THAT time of year again. Before long the carols will be playing in malls and Christmas trees and twinkling lights will grace our streets. *sigh* BUT this also means more sales and fun times! Roll on summer roll on.

SO to get into the swing of things we think it’s time to celebrate with a lil market day ourselves. With stallholders selling fabulous vintage items, rad retro, bit & bobs, kooky 2nd hand stuff and sweet thing you can’t go wrong! Items from W&B will also be heavily discounted so get in quick!

Lavendar linen spray can be used on just about anything and smells divine! Spray on your sheets and laundry as a linen spray, spray around the house as an air freshener or use as you iron!

Ingredients:

1 tsp lavender essential oil (or any other essential oil you prefer)

1/4 cup unflavoured vodka

3 1/2 cups filtered water

In a small bowl mix lavender oil and vodka together. The alcohol works as an emulsifier, allowing the oil and water to mix evenly. Pour the lavender/vodka mix into a clean, fine mist spray bottle, add the water and shake well.

NB – For an alcohol-free mixture omit the vodka, but make sure to shake rigorously before spraying, since the oil and water will separate.
