Finders Keepers Autumn/Winter 2019

Overview

With the return of Finders Keepers market in June, so too comes the return of our inner art and design guru. It pulls us towards eye-catching prints, impeccably designed ceramics and irresistibly quirky earrings — all of which we might not necessarily need, but certainly can't seem to live without. Finders Keepers is bringing back its high-quality collection of stalls to Brisbane across June 21–23, with a few exciting additions and a continued focus around independent and up-and-coming artisans.

Art and design run the show at Finders Keepers, so expect to see returning stalls Nerida Hansen Print and Textiles, which sells vibrant textiles and fabrics featuring designs by local artists, and a variety of artwork, homewares and accessories brought to life by Clare Ritchie. There's also a healthy addition of wellbeing and beauty products like Naturally Millie Ma, which carries products based on Tasmanian-sourced ingredients — from pure Tasmanian olive oil soaps to men's grooming products.

Meanwhile, new stalls worth stopping by include fashion label and Finders Keepers Brisbane Indigenous Program recipient Life Apparel Co, fine art photographer Emily O'Brien and Brisbane-based ceramics brand Paxxy&Flora.

To keep you well-fuelled for your shopping expedition, there'll also be a fair share of food stalls. The Abbiocco Food Truck will be dishing out Italian-style street food — or you can opt for a burger and fries at the Surf Burger stall. If you're gluten-free or vegan, you're in luck — Happy Soul Bowl has healthy, savoury options, while Gfreedonuts can fulfil a sugar craving with Nutella, salty caramel, custard and raspberry jam doughnuts.

Needless to say, seek and you will find. If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed by choices you can take a look at the Finders Keepers online directory for a comprehensive look at the stalls.

Finders Keepers Autumn/Winter Brisbane will run from Friday, June 21–Sunday, June 23. The market will be open from 12pm–9pm on Friday, 9am–5pm on Saturday and 9am–5pm on Sunday. Entry is $5 and tickets are valid for all three days.
