Our new website

Hi Everyone

HAPPY NEW YEAR..
Wow, we have seriously neglected our blog...One of our new years resolutions is to do a market wrap up after each market and keep you more up to date.
Our blog is our little baby, this is where we begun and we are sad that we have been "too busy" and "distracted" with other social media avenues...but this will change. WE PROMISE.

We are however, SUPER excited that we now have a website which you can check out HERE.

We hope that you love it as much as we do.

November Market... Been & Gone

Hi Everyone,

We thought we would do a market wrap up with photo's from the biggest market of the year... NOVEMBER.

We welcomed 150 gorgeous stalls to the November Expo plus the Ipswich Young Orpheous Choir to sing Christmas Carols... not to mention FIREMAN WAYNE selling the Fireman Calendars. What a jam packed expo.

With gorgeous weather and thousands of customers we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for a fabulous year. With 2 expos to go - Laidley (this Saturday 3rd December) and our last Ipswich Turf Club expo on Saturday 17th December - Liesa, Miriam and I have had a fabulous year.

With lots happening over the next couple of weeks - expos, Liesa having her baby and of course Christmas it is going to be a busy month for everyone... enjoy it while you can.

Thanks again and keep an eye out on Facebook for the arrival of Liesa's little bundle of joy :)

A BIG shout out to Paula from Minta Entertainment for the fabulous photo's of the EXPO... for all of your photo needs - contact Paula today, just click on the link above.

Also a shout out to Ella, the lovely little lady you see in some of the photo's and her mum Bec, for letting us use her on the day, we appreciate it.

See you over the next 2 markets and we look forward to bring The Handmade Expo back to the Ipswich Turf Club in 2012 :)

Forest Hill Boutique Market

Wow, what a great success our first Forest Hill Boutique market was. Thank you to all the stallholders who had faith in us... and the customers who supported and shopped local. With everything Forest Hill and surrounding areas have been through, it's great to know that the local towns supported this fantastic market.

Held in the gorgeous School of Arts building, we had such an amazing space to work with, indoors and outdoors. With 30 stallholders to grace this beautiful area, they did an amazing job to fill it all with their beautiful, colourful stalls and handmade wares.

The customers came in their droves, with no available car parks left and customers having to park and walk from town.

The Handmade Expo team set the tea room up to give the customers a pink, quality devonshire tea experience, which they loved and kept coming back for more. A big thank you to our Grandma and Miriam's mum for her help all day with the devonshire teas... I don't think we realised how big of a job it was actually going to be... without her - we would have been struggling I think.

With thousands of customers, a beautiful day (a tad windy actually by the afternoon) and a lovely country town The Handmade Expo, Forest Hill Boutique Market will definitely be back!

Thank you FOREST HILL!

We hope you enjoy the photo's.
