Last weekend was the first Kingston Beach Handmade Market and it was a ripper! Seriously, this is one of the nicest little markets I have ever been a part of and I can't wait til next month to do it all again.
I met some lovely fellow stall holders with beautiful creations to share.... Here's a few of my favourites.

Melany Franklin's silver jewellery really stood out to me - delicate, unique and earthy, I especially loved Mel's vessel series, where the piece has a hole that can be filled with tiny bits of fabric or lace of your choice, changed as often as you like with a pair of tweezers!
The bright colours of The Little Alphabet Shop are hard to go by.... SHe has a whole array of fabulous products and she's a lovely lady to boot!
The clever people at Clever Zebra Designs make these awesome clip boards and note book sets, absolutely perfect for the craft market stall holder! Aren't they lovely! Makes me want to be all efficient and check off lists on my vintage inspired floral clipboard.
Giggling Gertie is another stall I loved, mainly due to the wonderful collection of fabric used in these sweet purses. From vintage upholstery fabrics to the latest Kawaii linens from Japan, Gertie has a beautiful collection of sturdy, well made and pretty purses. Love them.
All round the market was a huge success.... If you missed it and you live in this part of the world, be sure to pop 9th December in your diary for the Christmas market! You can get all the info on the website here too.
Today is Monday and I'm excited about this week, even though it's going to be crazy busy! This weekend I am flying to Melbourne for the Fed Sq MARKit on Sunday (Melbourne folk, hope to see some you your beautiful faces!!) so I have lots to do to get ready. Right now, it's time to refill the coffee pot and get crafting!
Have a great week! Jen x
