To market we shall go!

Specifically, Hackney Homemade Market on Sunday 10 July and Wonder Hill Market at the Miller on July 30th and August 27th. I love markets as a customer and we have two good ones in Epping (Monday markets have all sorts of things, and on the first Friday of every month we have a Farmer's Market) as well as the Christmas market that I did a few years ago. Visiting a French market is also one of the highlights of holidays with my parents, too, though I haven't been brave enough so far to explain to the girls what all the bunnies and chickens and ducks on the stalls are destined to become.

So, anyway, I'm quite excited to be heading into London a couple of times in July to take part in these events! Both of them are running quite close to other markets - Chatsworth Road in Hackney and the famous Borough Market for Wonder Hill - which will hopefully drive traffic towards the handmade/vintage events as people already have their market heads on. It's the first time I've 'done' the Hackney event, and although I know the area quite well having lived and worked in Hackney, it's still going to be an adventure doing something outdoors. I've done Wonder Hill once before in it's previous home at the Boogaloo Bar, and it's got a lovely ethos and atmosphere. I love seeing handmade goods at markets!

If you're in London on these dates and you want to come along and say hi, find some gorgeous vintage stuff or collect some unique handmade items, pop along...if not, I'll try and blog about them here, especially if I remember to take the camera to get some pics.

You'll also be able to find me at more events around Essex, Herts and London over the next few months - click here to go to my web page with all the details!
