It was a beautiful Melbourne Autumn day. Bit chilly in the morning, but if you could find a spot in the sun....prefect.
My first stop was Yarraville Market run by the lovey Lou
It's on once a month - and definitely worth checking out.
I bought some honey for my mummy! It's from Urban Honey Co.
The honey is collected from around the local area - in fact they have such a low carbon footprint - the bees travel more miles to make the stuff. They deliver it on a specially made bike too. And they make candles & furniture polish. yummm.
Finally - and nearly marketed out I went to the Made N Thornbury market.

Next stop was the new Substation Market in Newport (sorry Lou I had to see for myself). Saw a few stall holders I know. It was in the old - very cold substation - that the council have spend a lot of money on to look great.

I enjoyed this one a lot. They had a bit of food, lots of crafty Melbourne people I hadn't seen before, and some I know of. It had a cosy community feel to it

I bought these cute little purses. The B&W on I believe is Japanese Family crests.
Mum is also getting one of Curlypops bookmarks
And how about these cuties by Flickettysplits - I particularly like the doorstop in retro fabricsAnd Little Red Riding hood made by nettle & brier

It was great meeting you! Doing the Thornbury market was lovely, it was my first. I thought of it as my 'training wheels' market - it's only $10 for a stall and everyone there is helping each other out. I only filled a stall because half the stuff was my mum's! So even if you think you're too busy to do a stall on your own there are ways and means...
P.S. I'm putting all my crafty blog entries on my Blogspot now.
You took some great photos, and what a great day out...nothing better than a bit of crafty market shopping!
