Another FARBULOUS Market...

Hi Everyone.

Well, the day started on a high with The Handmade Expo being mentioned 3 times in the Queensland Times. We were # 3 on the 10 things to do this weekend, an SMS to the editor appeared from PAULA (thanks Paula) + the MS Society that did this months sausage sizzle scored an editorial as well...and from there, we are happy to report that the Handmade Expo was another great success... this was the biggest yet, we were proud to welcome 132 stallholders this month.... IPSWICH'S BIGGEST and BEST MARKET... we are certainly proud of this and we know all our stallholders are too, so a huge thank you to our wonderful, loyal stallholders who stay with us every month... we really appreciate it.

Now, to our customers - we had a fabulous day. We thank you for braving the heat, as it was a scorcher but we thank you for coming every month to support our LOCAL handmadies and the BEST market in town! Plus, we are pretty certain you crossed a lot off your christmas shopping list (we know we did)! With our free entry now and forever that just puts the cherry on top!

We checked out the paper today and found an article on The Handmade Expo...Thanks to the Queensland Times for popping out and talking to us...



Thank you all once again... without your support this would not be the best MARKET to visit once a month at the loveliest, relaxed outdoor venue in town.
