Your market stall design....

 I found this beautiful and simple DIY technique to decorate your market stall at Oh, Hello Friend today and I think it's such a smart idea! It's very economic and simple. When you have loads of things need to set up at the market, this polka-dot DIY table may save your life?

Suitcase Rummage

Suitcase Rummage is a mini scaled market aimed at supporting emerging artists, crafters and second-hand marketeers from all ages and backgrounds. 

The focus is on eco-friendly, ethical consumerism that fosters a local, sustainable economy by encouraging entry level entrepreneurs.

Sales are from a suitcase (or two!) and other than a $25 registration fee (which covers PLI) there are no overheads. 

This way we can make the Rummage accessible to all people from all walks, providing them with a platform and kick start.

Suitcase Rummage is the brainchild of Daniele Constance and Isabel FitzGerald, who saw a 'gap in the market' for artists, crafters and entrepreneurs, many of whom could not afford the sometimes massive overheads that come with participating in arts and crafts markets. With the help of Brisbane City Council, they launched the event as part of Youth Week in Brisbane, and since then have delivered the event independently and regularly throughout Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Ipswich and now Melbourne. 

The event will be held in the Velvet Room of the Thornbury Theatre on Sunday the 29th of July. It is Free Entry, there will be emerging musicians and performers, entertainment, food, it will be a grand day!

Why our markets are dying?

                                found on http://500px.com/photo/696371


 Why do you think Sydney's art and craft markets are dying out? It just seems to me that markets in Sydney are either too expensive to join or full of junk. I wonder why we can't a bit more like Melbourne has some good quality artistic market? Is that because our artists arn't good enough? or Sydney people just don't care?

Feel free to leave your comments here or on facebook or here. Maybe there's something that we can do about? 

Mark it on your calendar !
