Well, that was a very successful christmas market... Two big days, two big markets, thousands of people through the door, many christmas presents bought, too many cupcakes eaten and we are done for another year! Thanks and big love to you all!
We hope you have a wonderful festive season and see in the new year with a bang.
See you next year!
The girls @ The Square
A lovely Bendigo local for our sneak peek today...
Simply Type is a handmade business that creates beautiful timber signs, specialising in customised signs for weddings, engagements and life's special moments. The personalised new baby signs would make a wonderful keepsake or special gift. They have some cute new chrissy stuff too. Simply Type will be with us on Sunday.
And as a special for Square customers, if you order a baby details sign on the day you'll get $10 off. Order a baby name sign and receive $5 off. Oh yeah.
Keep up with Simpy Type on their facebook page.
Tomorrow is market eve! Woot!
Today i'm introducing Two Threads, a new face for The Square and we're chuffed to have them tripping up from Melbourne to be with us. These guys create distinctive, edgy, outerwear in unconventional shapes. Designed to be versatile, affordable and comfortably worn by women of all ages.
We've only selected a handful of clothing peeps to be with us over the weekend, so be sure to check out Two Threads stall on Sunday.

We've only got three days left to share some more stallholder previews with you all... stay tuned! There are some goodies :)
Whenever we have PopcornBlue with us it always proves to be a popular stall... beautiful prints, artist Sarah is absolutely charming and this time she has some new things to share too!
PopcornBlue artworks are now available printed on woodblocks. We think they look amazing! These would be something different for a kids room.
This pic is just a tiny selection of works from PopcornBlue, head over to the website to see more.

Do you give diaries or calendars as chrissy gifts? They're perfect for peeps that are hard to buy for and the selection at Rebound Books is pretty darn cool...
The diaries are made from old Golden Books, with all the original story pages mixed in with the week-to-a-page diary pages. And the calendars are made from old record covers, a new one for each month. Super cool and these would make great gifts for guys especially! Visit the stall with us on Saturday.
Full descriptions of the diaries and calendars, as well as their other awesome products can be found on the Rebound Books website.
We usually have a couple of lovely bag ladies at the market and christmas shall be no exception!
One of our favourites is Curlybird Designs, handmade bags that are not only beautifully made but also practical. All the satchels, handbags and accessories use stunning fabrics that are strong and durable. Curlybird Designs is the creative venture of Kathy Vincent and all products are designed and made by her in the Dandenong foothills.
More on the Curlybird website and her facebook page.
Happy weekend! The stallholder sneak peeks continue...
And christmas is mostly about the smalls isn't it? Its fun to buy for kids too, with so much choice over the two market days we're pretty sure you'll find something for the little people in your life.

All needle felted by Camila Serrano in Castlemaine with only the best quality Australian Wool. Each piece is inspired by nature, the seasons, fantasy and fairy tales.
This christmas we have Radius Disability Services with us and they'll be filling the front foyer of the Town Hall both Saturday and Sunday. We're sure many locals reading this will already know about Radius, a local and not-for-profit community organisation that provides supported employment services for people with a disability.
Radius works extensively with their own range of handmade paper and also screen print fabrics to produce a quality product. They will have a range of products at their stall, including aprons, chritmas cards, bunting, calico bags, screenprinted items and kids colour-in christmas stockings.
All Radius products are produced by people with a disability, providing meaningful employment and producing top class items... making your christmas purchases a whole lot nicer too!
You can see & read more on the Radius Disability Services website.
We don't think there would be many kids who won't like the retro-inspired superhero costumes made by Little Nogg... these are pretty great!
Handmade right here in Bendigo, these superhero capes (reversible), wristbands, masks and shoe wings will make perfect christmas presents! Available in a range of colours and designs or they can be personalised for your own little hero. Little Nogg will be trading with us on Saturday.
These nearly sold when we last had them at market, so get in quick! Or get in touch with maker Alicia before market day via the Little Nogg website or facebook page.
