Well… there’s quite a bit of handmade going on at the market tomorrow… amongst them is Michele!
She will be selling cards, heatbags, children’s scarves, hair ties, teatowel aprons (might have to pick up one of those!) and beautiful dolls all made from recycled materials.
What’s a festival without food!
On offer – kangaroo sausuages, home-made vegie burgers on La Madre Bread, pancakes, soup, cupcakes, muffins, raspberry and apple cake (yum!) homemade biscuits, gingerbread men, freshly squeezed orange juice -and of course lots of fresh produce from the food swap.
I’m sure there’s more that I have forgotten… but plenty to go around – so come along and have a special treat!

This Saturday is a good day to do some ethical buying.
We’re lucky to have the lovely Rae come over from St Lukes and host a stall of well priced fair trade goods.
A range of coffee, tea, chocolate, rice and other goodies will all be waiting for you to take them home!
Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices, Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.
