EventFinders Keepers Autumn/Winter Markets
Fri, 20 May - Sat, 21 May 2011
Carriageworks, Eveleigh
The Finders Keepers Markets have become something of a byword for adorableness, and with a focus on sustainability, and the artists and designers repping and reaping the profits of their own work, it's basically guilt free. This Autumn/Winter outing of Finders Keepers' biannual Sydney visits is prepared for the cold, with KnitKnit's DIY kits for woolly accessories for first-time knitters and Puddin' Head homewares so your room looks its prettiest while you lean back against your Ourlieu cushions covered in fabrics printed with hand-drawn designs. And that is before you start thinking about the fashion and jewellery options, of which there are enough to keep you busy for the whole of either day, and the artists and illustrators vending their wares, of which ditto. Plus bands, if the above was not already enough to warm your heart and your toesies.
