flinders street market | may

A cool, rainy first day of winter found us at the always lovely Flinders Street Market.

 It turned out to be a bit quiet, but there’s always such a great energy at Flinders (thanks to the great people) that it was a fun day.

It was also a delicious day: we enjoyed sampling some amazing chocolate covered strawberries from the coco stop, timtam truffles from Your Inspiration At Home, and some pretty awesome rhubarb cake from The Lunch Lady. If nothing else, you should check out this little market for the food!

Looking forward to our next market in July! :)

We had a wonderful weekend at the Flinders Street Market - gorgeous bright, autumnal weather, lovely people & plenty of interesting things to see. I was very happy with how our stall tuned out - we decided to have a bigger space & filled it not just with my jewellery, but Mum's crochet berets, embroidery art & flower accessories, Kathryn's felt clips & brooches, zentangle cards & our painted bags & aprons.

Not entirely sure when our next time at the Flinders Street Market will be - probably late May or early June - I'll keep you posted :)

It has been pretty wet around here lately (to put it mildly), so with the forecast saying there was an eighty percent chance of rain, we decided to go with a spot in the hall for this month's Wirrabara Producer's Market. Although it ended up staying dry, the wind was absolutely freezing & I was very glad to get back inside after a quick walk around the rest of the market. The rest of the stalls were split about evenly between in & outside, so we weren't on our own.

We were at the Wirrabara Producer's Market again on Sunday. As well as celebrating their 100th market, they were also celebrating winning 'Excellence in Flinders Ranges & Outback Food and Beverage Tourism'  at the Flinders Ranges & Outback Tourism Awards the night before. Although it seems like we've been visiting the market forever, it also seems incredible that it has been going for eight years.

Although is was cold, it wasn't quite as freezing as I feared it would be & we had plenty of hot drinks to keep us warm. I do hope someone has the pizza oven going next month...

We took beaded jewellery, polymer brooches, felt clips & brooches, crochet berets, clips, brooches & rings, zentangle cards & hand-stamped calico bags. We've also been having fun coming up with ideas, so we should have some new things ready for next month :)
