Another great day at the markets


What a beautiful day it was once again last Sunday at the Boutique Markets, Portside! Such a lovely atmosphere, the markets were alive with happy visitors, stallholders, little ones and even a few pooches.

I just love seeing the markets grow with new stallholders to be discovered each month. I was determined to visit a few stalls this time but this is certainly easier said than done when all the stallholders are just so lovely to chat to and it takes more than just a few minutes to admire everyone work, meanwhile customers are surrounding our stall with Renée left by herself... And with 59 stalls I'd need a full day off to visit them all properly! Luckily there's always next month for me to continue browsing.

Below just a few snaps I took on the day of some of the fantastic stalls and their lovely stallholders. Once again a huge thank you to the amazing women that organise these incredible designer markets, Rachael, Kerry and Leasl ~ they bring together a wonderful selection of designers, artists and crafters and share our passion for handmade art and craft! I have been wishing there would be markets like these in Brisbane ever since I moved here about 10 years ago and I am so thrilled to now actually be a part of them!



Helen's display from Ruby2GoGo looked as stunning as always...

With Christmas drawing closer I know where I'll be shopping this year! If you weren't able to visit the markets this month, the next ones will be on Sunday October 11 ~ we hope to see you there!
