This weekend I had two beautiful markets Saturday, Brett and I drove to
Newcastle to do the
Cherry Blossom Market which I had
heard so many wonderful reviews from other stall holder and in particular from
Vicki at
Giggle Designs, who has the most
beautiful reversable children’s clothing and on her urging I booked a
stall.
The market was well run and held around the Newcastle Harness Racing Club
track, Turton Road New Lambton during the day they ran the mini trotts so cute,
the races were run with handicaps on some of the horses there were ponies that were twice
the size of others.
Before the market opened we quickly did the rounds of the other stalls and
came accross a familiar face. I had stopped because of the crocheting and all
hand done by twin sisters who were taught to crochet by their mother. I too can
crochet and was taught by my grandmother "Gin" (with the G making the
g sound like goal) but not like their crocheting I bought the
cutest little thongs for my newest
cousin, she will be a groovy little diva in them. The crochet bags, beads, water bottle holders and little shoes all done by them.

Arriving back at my stall I spotted cakes and only two stalls down, Jan and
her
Fantasy Cup Cakes to absolutely die
for...... I could not believe someone could make a cupcake like hers for five
dollars. So I had lemon meringue cupcake and then well I don't know what the
second one was called and THEN I bought five more to take home for mum and the
kids. They didn't last very long!

I also met Graeme from
Rainbow Glass Art who makes his own glassware.
"The glass used is systems 96 art glass, they cut the glass to their
design, fused the pieces of glass together and then slump it into a mould to
obtain its shape and all done at their home Rainbow Flat on the beautiful Mid North
Coast of NSW. They run workshops in glass plate making and bead the colours
they have used are really eye catching.
The market was lovely and one I will definitely do again they also run their
market at the Lindeman’s Winery Hmmmm may have to do that one too.

Sunday was spent at
Como markets in the local public school, such a lovely school with lots of interesting stalls the weather held out for us and was quiet sunny by the end of the market there was a crowd and everyone was very friendly. Also a market I would like to do again.
