Mulgrave Makers Market

I had a delightful time at the first ever Mulgrave Makers Market on Sunday. Melbourne put on some amazing spring weather and twenty-something stall holders (in the crafty section) made me swoon and SPEND!!


Jenny from Oh-Joh had a gorgeous stall with loads of aprons, skirts and other loveliness!!

Ella's birthday is coming up so I bought her a skirt and matching head-band.

I also bought her a cute necklace from Button Creations (wish I could find the website/blog for you).

And for me? A divine bag from the lovely Lisa of Pink Heart Designs.

The organisers (Fi, Justine and Bec) have done an amazing job getting this new market off the ground. Word is that the next market will have even more stall holders so I'll be back FOR SURE!

I managed to catch up briefly with Fi who was super busy being all things to all people (for a change).

And to top it all off .... the Makers Market is attached to a farmers market where I bought fruit straight from the folk that grew it, cake from the lady who baked it and flowers from the people who picked them.

A lovely day indeed!!

Daylesford

I had the loveliest day yesterday.
Mary and I drove (make that 'ambled') to the Daylesford Makers Market yesterday.

I made my first ever yoyo's so I could join in with Julie and Jodie's blog-meet-up fun.


At the actual market, there were so many lovely stalls and stall holders. I neglected to take any photos but I can show you my loot .....

Some gorgeous music boxes from Kirsty:


Kirsty was so generous .... she insisted I take a freebie: a gorgeous children's writing activity made with the most beautiful details:



Some heavenly, divinely detailed (and completely underpriced) softies from Jodie:






These will all make great end of year presents for some small people I know.

And I actually bought a couple of things for 'moi'.

A gorgeous Curly Pops brooch:


And we also visited Lark around the corner from the market which is such a divine little space.
I absolutely HAD to purchase something, so I bought an Auntie Cookie alphabet panel.


In the course of the day, I managed to meet up (though at times very briefly) with :

Mary, Bec, Holly, Justine, Fi, Nic, Kate, Meg, Kirsty, Jodie, Annie, Julie, Abbe, Allison and Cam.

SUCH a lovely day.

Hope you are having a lovely day too.

Andi :-)
