Bye for now,

ps. We love a market! Particularly one that promotes high quality local art + design. The lovely people at Designed Made have cleverly snavelled the newly revamped Princes Wharf outdoor area and will be presenting a market which showcases high end Tasmanian design, across a range of disciplines, including some extra special furniture design. Do yourself a favour and pop along for a look see...

Joy to the world!

And to our clever and very busy batch of stall holders, as they prepare for this Sunday's market fun...

It's hard to believe the year is almost over, and here we are embarking on our first Christmas market for 2010! What a year it's been so far! We're proud to say think we've achieved our goal to showcase the very best products, the most exquisitely handmade, the most ingenious of ideas, and rather a lot of the considerable artistic talent which our state has in abundance.

However...we have definitely saved the best for last, and our Christmas markets are two terribly wonderful events not to be missed. November 21st sees an enviable collection of our favourite stall holders gathering, with fresh and exciting products designed and made for the summer season. The selection of wares is our most varied yet, and of course our most beautiful! Tempting treats for you and your loved ones include an extra special, and lovingly locally made, array of home wares, stationery, children's clothing and toys, jewellery, lovely Christmas decorations, soap, lighting design, delicious food products, bags, gorgeous candles and many more bits and bobs!

There will be plenty of yummy food and drink to keep you fortified while you shop...check out the delectable menu from Mondo Mamma here.

Also make sure you take a peek at our 12 days of Christmas blog posts, for a little bit more of a preview of what will be on offer.

We'd love to see you this Sunday, for some festive fun,
Shannon + Holly :0)

Ps Be sure to visit our buddies at the Farmers market on Sunday too (Melville St carpark 9am -1pm). Stock up on fresh as a daisy seasonal produce from local growers and farmers, while meeting the people who intimately know the food they're selling as nine times out of ten they've actually grown/baked/made it themselves...brilliant!
