Craft Markets

We bought this picture at a craft market we visited recently. I find it hard to walk past things with a retro, nostalgic air about them. You know, those old Pears soap adverts from early last century, drawings of French shopfronts and vintage beach scenes. They take you to another world almost, of ease and innocence. I wanted to capture some of that in my home so we bought a couple of them.

We were tempted by fudge and licorice. We also saw plants, jewellery, clothing, shabby chic homewares, woodwork, beauty products and pet items, not to mention a range of foods. We just had to dig into some warm buttered cheese and bacon scones.

There are a number of craft markets that run in Victoria which you can view here. There’s usually one running somewhere every weekend. I’ve heard the one that runs at Flemington Racecourse is pretty good. Has anyone been to that one?
