a day at the market | march

Perfect autumnal weather for our first Wirrabara Producers' Market of the year - a cool morning which gradually warmed up, with blue skies, sunshine & a slight breeze to stop it getting too hot.

The market didn't feel super busy, but business was good, morning tea was delicious (fig, almond & coconut slice, yum), we came home with apples, fresh bread, honey, cucumbers & a gorgeous dahlia, the stall looked good & it was just a generally lovely morning.

a day at the market | december

A bit of a hot & blustery day for the December Wirrabara Producers Market, but there were still plenty of people out & about, buying up gorgeous local fruit & veg for Christmas.

Our stall looked lovely & colourful - fortunately the wind didn't manage to run away with our cover or stock - & we had some lovely customers, caught up with some friends, were given some lollies by santa & even managed to get in quick enough to come home with some cherries this year.

cute & colourful...

These cute felt & fabric creations are the work of my Mum & sister Kathryn, to sell on their 'Hollipotamus' stall at the markets we attend (the name is inspired by our favourite cutie-pie). Their range of toys, brooches, clips & assorted other creations is ever expanding & I think all the things they are making are utterly adorable (possibly slightly biased, but I mean, just look at them!).

So anyway, just felt like having a some light-heartedness & colour on the blog (these little creatures make me smile). Also rather pleased with how the photos turned out, so kind of showing off a little, lol.

*working on having a proper web presence for Hollipotamus, but for now you can contact them via the shop facebook page.

flinders street market | september

Back at Flinders Street Market on a lovely (if somewhat windy) spring weekend. Along with my jewellery, Mum & Kathryn's new name for their market stall/handmade goods 'Hollipotamus' had it's first outing & we continued to tweak & improve our layouts & displays.

Apart from forgetting to pack the camera (apologies for the slightly grainy iPhone photos) our set up went well & we had a good weekend - including getting some henna 'tattoos' & enjoying some yumminess from The Lunch Lady.

We won't be making it to Flinders Street during October (something to do with half of us being off on a road-trip), but stay tuned for our November dates.
