Supporting Handmade!

I've recently bought a few handmade pieces of lovely and I thought I'd share them here with you. It's so important to support handmade, don't you think?
I went along to the lovely Northern Regards Market in Northcote last weekend and bought these cute pieces from Lil Wise Owl. www.madeit.com.au/littlewiseowl 

This dress is made by my sis in law (and Hundreds and Thousands zine co creator) Taz. She makes handmade pieces and sells them on her online store www.butterandbuntings.storenvy.com ...she also has a stall at the Fitzroy Market this coming Saturday the 17th!!
Aren't these handmade brooches great!!?

I literally stumbled across the most fantastic little market a few weekends back. Everything was handmade, and everything sold was to raise money for the ASRC (Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.) I have since done a bit of research and discovered that the market was put on by a community of craft activists (woohoo!) called "Creating a Welcome." I totally think you should go visit their blog! www.creatingawelcome.blogspot.com 

Have you discovered any great local handmade crafters recently?

  3. I'm always so excited to meet handmade artisans at markets. It's so wonderful to get them asking about what they do and watch them bust with enthusiasm and joy for their passion. It's great to support those making handmade pieces on so many levels, as well as keeping people's dreams alive.

  5. Now, the company enhances the warranty and insurance programs of some of the world’s leading retail insurance Timberland outlet nederland and telecommunication brands. At a conservative estimate, Inhance expects to double annual turnover by 2016 and continue to expand its workforce which has climbed incrementally at its Cork headquarters from 36 in 2013 to 43 last year. Doubling its client base goedkope timberlands schoenen in less than 12 months was just another indicator of the rapid progress the Inhance team has made.
