8th August....summer lovelies!

Yesterday's market was a very sunny affair (brilliant considering the mid-week rain storm London had) bringing in happy North Londoner's in their droves.

We had some fantastic new sellers, tempting everyone with their wares, and some regular sellers (who feel a bit like 'A Little Bazaar' family now)

We're just in the process of getting more dates secured at Keston Lodge for the Autumn. We've been so happy with the way it's been going at our new summer venue, the location really seems to work in our favour, with lots of people milling about along Upper Street on the hunt for some bargains.

This weeks sellers:

Jen Farrell
Storm in a Teacup

Happy Days at the Keston Lodge!

Well we did have a lovely time at our Keston launch, didn't we! It was really nice to be able to grab people (not literally) off the street with the stalls outside. Jess, Laura, Bethan, and the others did us proud with their gorgeous cakes and jewellery dazzling and enticing all the passers by! Inside we had an array sellers old and new, with stalls boasting some lovely affordable vintage, handbags made from ties, handprinted bags, hand drawn greetings cards, nipple tassels and badge making!

We were really pleased with the turn out, Islington is full of happy shoppers on a saturday - a hefty proportion of whom we
managed to lure into the Keston! Loads of people approached us to say how much they enjoyed it and how they would be coming again. So BIG THANKS to all the stallholders from the 20th, you guys are amazing and we're thrilled that you are getting the recognition you deserve!

There shall be markets on fortnightly Saturdays at the Keston Lodge throughout the summer:

4th and 25th of July, 8th and 22nd of August and the the 5th of September - All FREE ADMISSION and all 12pm til 6pm

So come on down and visit us in our new home, have a cake and a pint and maybe a burger from the barbeque and shop to your heart's content!

Happy days!

We're all going on a........Summer Holiday!

16th May Market.....lots of jewels and bling

Lovely jewelry-led market today and some wonderful new sellers I had a good natter with. That's the thing I love the most about this market - the new friendships that are being forged over tales of crafty shenanigans! I like to think that it's something that sets our market aside from others, and hope the sellers get as many smiles out of the experience as I do!

The only thing me and Claire are desperate to find is people selling stuff aimed at MEN! Most of the sellers have female-orientated wares and I'm getting to feel a little sorry for the straggling boyfriends hanging around eating cake. At least we have super trooper Record Seller Matt keeping the musical males entertained! PLEASE if you know any guys out there who'd like to clear out their wardrobe, sell comics, bike parts (?) shaving products (?!) porn mags (?!?) or anything else stereotypically for the bloke GET THEM TO GET IN TOUCH!  Leach100@hotmail.com for stall info

Alice Malseed and friends sell there closets to help raise money for their Edinburgh Festival trip http://www.goldsmiths.ac.uk/shortnights/

The Cake Collective girls did us proud again.....Ice Cream Cakes, it's like summer on your tastebuds!  The Cake Collective

Fish for Biscuits!

 

Ayesha and her helper ready to spring into action and make you any bead design you could dream of! Purple Turtle Beads

Seb Craig's Grass desk organizer....it's like honey I shrunk the kids if you look at it close enough!

18th April Market

April Sunshine brought another lovely market with another set of brilliant crafty makers coming our in force to sell their wares. We had Knitting Needle bracelets, candle tea-cups, wonderful button earrings and geek-inspired bead accessories.

I love the sunshine that fills our market room at the Amersham, it compliments the relaxed and friendly atmosphere really beautifully. 

Also upstairs this month was a Zine swap and making workshop, hosted as part of the 'Pieces of Eight' exhibition (curated by the wonderful Ginger Joe) People were being encouraged to make their own zines by drawing, photocopying, writing, cutting and sticking it together as the day went along. Was such a lovely idea ZINESWAP.COM
