What a night!

Our June Market was our biggest yet and certainly was a hit!For a while we were nearly bursting at the seams, as the community poured in to the courtyard to support the many local artists and crafters. The music was once again most enjoyable - the kids especially enjoyed dancing. The July little market will be held on Friday July 25th and promise to be just as much fun.

Tomorrow is the night!

the little midwinter market is on tomorrow night at avid reader - the forecast is for clear skies for the next week so it is sure to be a lovely night spent with some lovely thing makers. The line up of stallholders is pretty exciting - Alex from Lunabloom with her delicious treats for the skin, Vicki from Violet Rose Designs and her gorgeous costume jewelery, Justine and her inspiring and beautiful upcycled creations, Rowena with an array of lovely things and myself (Michelle) from The Woolly Tree with yarn, felt and crocheted delights, to name just some! We will again have some very special musicians to entertain us out in the lush courtyard. We invite you to join us for the evening - meet the creators behind the creations, and enjoy a glass of wine with great company. 5:30pm onwards at Avid Reader Bookshop, 193 Boundary St West End.

the little midwinter market.

We are getting closer to that time again. And, because we canceled the May Market due to a dismal forecast of very heavy rain, this month's market should be buzzing! We are working on a wet weather venue (to be announced later) so rest assured the the little midwinter market will be on, rain, hail or (moon) shine. So put it in your diary, Friday 27th of June 5:30pm - 8pm at Avid Reader Bookshop, to come and see what lovely things we have been crafting for you.

off and rolling indeed!

Well we at the Little Market are very excited to be on the verge of our next market evening. It's the third market for this year and there has been lots of enthusiasm and creativity flying about. We have some fantastic new stalls - this month there will be plants and botanical creations, food, music, felted crafts, jewelry, organic skincare, upcycled creations and more. Come join us for a lovely evening...

2008 Little Markets are off and rolling!

On the 28th of March we kicked off The Little Market for 2008 with a fun and busy night despite the threatening rain. Below are some photos from the colourful night .

look good, feel good (and smell good too)

The next Little Market is on the 18th of April (not the 25th as it is a public holiday). Again we will have an eclectic bunch of crafters/artists selling their wares, perhaps some music and definitely lots of fun! Come along, have a glass of wine and support local people who make unique creations.

an intro...
