The after market report for April

Anzac Day 

Across Australia this week, we stopped to pay our respects to the men and women of our armed forces, for their service and sacrifice in wars past and present.

To those of you who have served or who currently serve here or overseas, thank you and stay safe.

After getting off to a chilly start it turned out to be a fine day and we hope that all of you who had a stall or who came out and supported our stallholders enjoyed yourselves.

There are still leaves on the trees here but they are falling and many of them found their way into the hall today!

This was the last chance to get the perfect gift before Mother's Day and there were plenty of little treasures to choose from for mum and all ages. The hall was pretty full with the return of some familiar faces amongst the traders as well as some new ones.


We even had something for fairy dolls and baby vikings !

 
 There was plenty of warm headwear to choose from and to suit every taste and budget.

The colder weather also made for hungry people as shown by the number of Devonshire Teas sold today. This photo does not show the steam coming off the scones. You can't taste the home made jam either!

That's it for this month. We look forward to seeing you all in May. If you are interested in finding out more about the market or having a stall next month please contact Gerrie on 5429 3652 or email lancefieldcraftmarket@gmail.com 

April Market this weekend

The market is on again this Saturday 9am to 1:30pm at the Mechanic's Institute Hall, just across from the old Hay and Grain store. Lancefield is beautiful this time of year as Autumn progresses and well worth a day trip.

Look forward to seeing you

A market on a sunny July day

Another 4th Saturday, another great Market! Plenty of people wandering around which is a wonderful surprise on a chilly, albeit sunny morning. Customers were picking up their groceries from the neighbouring farmers market, then popping in for Devonshire Tea and browsing what the Little Treasures market has to offer.
So what did we have to offer this month? Plenty!! Many of our regular stallholders and a few new ones too. You could find Bows & Brooches, Cards & Candles, Quilts, Clothes, Scarves and Jewellery!

As usual Di's Designs was sewing up a storm making personalised towel, bibs and blankets
Here's her little model displaying one of the cute bibs...

Di is able to make up your personalised gifts on site while you wait! You should see some of the gorgeous Beatrix Potter, Disney and Winnie the Pooh designs she has.

And last of all for this month, who should I stumble across at the market but Puss in Boots!

Hope to see you at the next market - Saturday 28th August 9am-1pm!

Midwinter at the market

We had our 3rd Market over the weekend and while the sun was shining for most of the time, it was rather cold out. Luckily we were in the relative warmth of the Mechanics Hall. You could certainly tell it was winter just by looking at all the knitwear available for sale! Plenty of hats and scarves and even sheepskin rugs.

Here are some photos of some of the many treasures you can find from out regular stallholders -

Gorgeous handmade glass beads

Above and below are some lovely cards and jewellery by Carol

Come and visit the Scrapbooking girls for some great gift ideas. They also run Scrapbooking workshops!

Thought you'd seen some stunning knitted jewellery? This is just one of the divine creations you can find at the market!

Want to keep warm AND be stylish? Woolies by Marlis can help you out there!

If it's felt flowers and pretty bows you're after then Settle Petal has what you want.

The Lancefield Craft and Handmade market is on every 4th Saturday of the month in the Lancefield Mechanics Hall. Also in town at the same time is the Lancefield Farmers Market, so don't forget to check them out too!
