A visit to the Jack 'n' Jill Children's Market - July 13
It was a rainy day, but that did not stop residents and visitors from visiting the Jack 'n' Jill Children's Market last weekend at St. Patricks Hall, Ballarat. I bribed the kids so I could do my 'bloggy' thing. I said, "If you are good and let mummy do her 'work', I will get you Maccas and let you play on the playground". That seemed to work just nicely.
The Jack 'n' Jill Children's Market is full of gorgeous handmade, unique and boutique children's products. We had a nice time wondering and browsing. It was so clear, the time and effort that is placed into making these products. I picked up a few goodies for myself and enjoyed speaking to the lovely business owners who were more than happy to share information on their craft. The vast product range is a great credit to the market coordinators. It is nice to go to a market that has variety.
I took so many photo's at the market. It has been lot's of fun going through them all and picking out the best. I hope you enjoy.

A visit to The Designer Craft Market @ Buninyong
Yesterday I visited The Designer Craft Market @ Buninyong in
the Historic Buninyong Town Hall. This market offers high quality
handmade items for sale by talented local and regional designers and
artists. In fact, I was amazed by the amount of quality products on offer
at this market. It is a credit to Glenda the market co-ordinator and the
committee for bringing together such a great market. We really do have
some talented designers and artists in Ballarat and surrounds.
