The Ipswich Show - Over and Out!

Hello

As promised, we would like to let you all know about the Ipswich Show.
The best way is prob to do this with photos...
We had a fabulous 3 days. We handed out approx 5,000 brochures and probably spoke to about the same amount of people. This was great publicity for The Handmade Expo.
We had 22 stallholders provide their beautiful handmade goodies for sale. The tables were overflowing with awesomeness.
We are so lucky to have such talented people among us.

We of course had to throw this one in!!!
Miriam and Liesa with FARMER DAVE (our new GOURMET FRESH MAN) :)

So, there you have it...3 days of talking, selling and promoting...and loved every minute of it.

We would like to take this opp to thank all the stallholders who provided their handmade goodies for sale. Also to the stallholders who helped us over the 3 days with setting up, talking, selling and promoting handmade. Its soooo cool to be able to get to know and chat with other passionate handmade peeps.

Thats all for now.
We have the Ipswich Heritage Faire on Sunday at Woodlands of Marburg. We will post later in the week...But if you are not busy and are looking for a fab day out...head to Marburg.

Thanks again

COME ON DOWN FARMER DAVE!!!

Hello

Ok, so the Ipswich Show has been and gone and we are just getting together our final post and photos for that, so keep any eye out for it...However, we could not hold on to this any longer and we want to let the WORLD know...

FARMER DAVE IS COMING TO OUR MARKETS.
Who is farmer dave you ask....well, for THOSE of you who do not know (which I am sure is only a minority)...Dave started out entertaining us on Big Brother, then moved onto Dancing with the Stars, Ready Steady Cook and much more. You can check out his website at www.farmerdave.com.au
He is going to be part of our GOURMET FRESH from August at the Turf Club.

He will be selling his lamb and also cooking it. YUMMO...we are massive fans (of him and his meat)!

We met both Dave and Danni (his PA and long time friend) at the Ipswich show and they just could not resist us!!

So, our GOURMET FRESH begins.

Everyone dropped all their things off at The Handmade Expo stand by 1pm and then we were off and rolling.

A big thanks goes out to Bill as well for helping us out.
