Glebe Markets

The Glebe Markets are my absolute favorite! There are SO many cool vendors from crafty to vintage to new fashions to absolute weirdness. It is held every Saturday in the city (Sydney). Amy's friend Ashlee lives like a minute away.
I could spend all day looking at all the cook stuff. Amy bought 2 awesome vintage dresses for $5 each.
There were vendors that only sold jean wear, some that had only jewelry, shoe vendors, crafty stationary, jackets, t-shirts, etc...

Right when I walked in I saw this really cool dress. I think it is from late 80s or early 90s. So cool. I love glitter.


Some cool jewelry and a cool tea kettle purse.


This sweet girl is from England and she makes jewelry out of old stamps no longer in circulation. I bought 2 really cool rings that were Australia stamp bottle tops.


These purses are questionable.





KYLIE KWONG!!!

Jon sister Amy's boyfriend Luke's cousin is Kylie Kwong and every Saturday she has a stall at the Eveleigh Markets in Newtown.



There are a lot of local farmers with fresh produce, florists with fresh cut flowers, cheese makers, bakers, sauce makers, jam makers, maranade makers, organic olive oil, coffee, etc

Fresh bread

We got their really early because Luke said Kylie's stall usually sells out by midday. We had delicious pork wontons and a yummy crepe scramble with fresh herbs. SOOOOOOOOOO DELICOUS.
An article I found on Kylie at Eveleigh




Woolooware Public School Village Fair

Less than a five minute walk from my home in Australia is where the Woolooware Public School Village Fair was held. There were rides for the kids, food vendors, and tons of local artisans to showcase their work.

I thought these custom made hula hoops were REALLY cool! There were several people trying them out and it looked so fun.


This next stall I took a picture of was way bigger but the pictures I took did not come out and the photo I have do not do the art work justice. Some of the pieces had cool glittery paint and the colors were vivid and eye catching. 


Yum!

Really cute tea towels and aprons.






There were so many cool things. The school also had a stall for students to have an arm cast put on to help raise money for children who need medical help. There were a lot of cool stalls for baby clothes that were so cute.
