Market Finds!
This weekend I visited the Bondi, Surry Hills and Glebe Markets (phew!) to do some recon work before taking the plunge of holding a market stall. It was interesting to see how other stallholders present their goods and represent their brand in a market environment. One of the stalls I found particularly inspiring was Summer Blossom, who make handmade hair accessories. There was so much attention to detail - everything was colour coordinated, there were lanterns hanging from above, grass (fake but very effective) covering the ground - I felt transported to a different place! And she had some very creative ways of displaying her headbands and hairclips. Just gorgeous.

They look so sweet! Love it when it's obvious people make a 'pretty effort' :)

Being new to Sydney I haven't visited any of these markets yet - any in particular that you recommend? Some? All? Some for different reasons or things?
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend them all but for different reasons.
ReplyDeleteThe Surry Hills market is more of a market for second hand items - its rather like a large garage sale with preloved furniture, clothes and odds and ends, although there are a few jewelry stores.
Glebe Markets had a strong focus on clothes and jewelry but there was also everything from candles and handbags to second hand books and mirrors.
I liked the Bondi Markets the best because it had the most hand made items - there were stalls with hand made clothes, accessories (like Summer Blossom!) baby diapers, handbags, cushions etc.
These markets don't have a handmade/design focus though - I hear that the Paddington Markets, Eveleigh Markets and Kirribili Markets do have this focus if that's what you are looking for...I haven't visited them yet but I'm hoping to soon!
