Check out our FULL PAGE..plus a little bit on Warwick

Hi Everyone.

Check out our amazing FULL PAGE ad in this weeks Ipswich Independent.



We thought we would kick our advertising campaign off early. With our first birthday and GOURMET FRESH, we thought that we would get peoples juices flowing with the excitement of the change.

Hope you like it.

We shard a double spread with Handmade Heaven...this looks pretty amazing as well.

We just need to confirm that there will be food and drink available at our Warwick market on Saturday...lots of hot choccies with marshies will be on the most popular list for sure!.

We got an email from Judy from Mango Wednesday Cermaics and she advised that it was minus 1 in Warwick this morning...brrrrr

See you Saturday..We would say with bells on, but it will be way to cold for that...so lets say with beanies, gloves and scarves on.

Warwick Weather

Hi Everyone

So, we were talking to a couple of locals the other day and they mentioned that "the wind is coming off some snow somewhere!!!!"
OMG!, it is going to be so cold next Saturday....

We have been told to rug up...Beanies, Gloves, Scarves and dress in layers.

We think any chance to wear the above is GREAT.

I can imagine a whole lot of you will be running out next week purchasing some very needed essentials!

Happy shopping.

Oz Handmade

Hi Everyone.

I have finally gotten around to giving Michelle a plug about her new and wonderful website called Oz Handmade



OZ Handmade was launched in April 2009 as a means of providing online shoppers access to a broad range of quality handmade Australian items, from Australian sellers.

The site is owned and operated by Michelle, a stay-at-home Mum (SAHM) daughter Kiara, who was born in 2008. When she is not working on the site, she enjoys shopping, cooking and doing whatever Kiara dictates (which usually involves watching lots of Yo Gabba Gabba or In The Night Garden on TV - such a tough gig, this Mum thing!).

Starting with items such as children's clothing and accessories, toys and women's jewellery, Michelle hopes to continually expand the range of products offered to ultimately become a one-stop shop for everything handmade.

OZ Handmade also has it's own store on the site which will be used to offer goods not already available through existing stores. Think of it as a 'lucky dip' of sorts as the range is forever changing :)

Should you have any queries about opening a store of your own please contact Michelle on ozhandmade@gmail.com.

I have been on the website and it is a lovely little site.

Thanks heaps

Our June Market - Just Fabulous

Hi Everyone

Well, Saturday has been and gone and was fabulous if we don't say so ourselves.

We had 1100 enthusiastic shoppers through the door and over 90 stallholders to show off and sell their beautiful handmade goodies. We did have quite a few newbies and of course our very loyal and reg stallholders came back.

The day began cold, dark and wet but turned out to be beautiful weather. The layers started to come off, the customers started to arrive and the day seemed a big success.

With 3 busloads arriving throughout the day, this bought ALOT (120 in fact) of new faces through the door. We have had very positive feedback from them and we do hope that this be a regular tour that they put on.

The QT came throughout the day and took a photo of Mel and Kerry...their story and photo can be seen in todays QT or right here, right now.




Our wonderful shoppers

More wonderful shoppers

Well, as you all know, this was our last market at the Ipswich Showgrounds. We are so excited to be moving to the Turf Club on August 15th. We have had very positive feedback and response.

Dont forget that our next market is being held at the Jumpers & Jazz Festival in Warwick on July18th. See you all there.

We would like to close to say thanks heaps to all of our wonderful stallholders, present, past and future. Thanks heaps to the customers who continue to come through the door monthly.
