Inexpensive gifts at Ivanhoe Makers Market

If you're looking for that sweet little gift for those special people in your life, I had a look around at the last market and this is what I found. They're all around the $10 mark or under!

There are lots of gorgeous flowers: brooches, headbands, necklaces and silk pins. Strawberries. I'm after the gorgeous chutneys and jams. Earings, button bookmarks, handknit face washers and fridge magnets. For the little ones we have bibs and pencil cases (I love these so much, I have one!) There are lots of pampering sprays, soaps and candles. And to top it all of gorgeous hand made cards.

I've just added the photos as they came, I hope you enjoy them. It was fun looking carefully at the stalls and picking out that little something. If you can't find something as a gift for that special friend, teacher or...., then you're not looking!

Come along on Saturday and find that perfect gift.

Beautiful jewellery!

I always say you can't have too many books or jewellery and here at Ivanhoe we have some gorgeous jewellers, all who have been with us for awhile. So, in no particular order, we have:

 

Shirley Barker with her semi-precious stones. Her colours are always strong and vibrant. Just right for that statement piece.

James Estergard has some amazing sterling silver, and other metal jewellery, really strong design. I have a gorgeous titanium ring with a tiny bolt that I wear almost constantly, it fits with my casual lifestyle,  most of his are fantastic statement pieces.

Kanella Tsirbis is our other metal jeweller and her delicate jewellery is wonderful. There are a couple of pieces that I would love to own and her earings are gorgeous.

Margaret Edwards has beautiful crytal and other beads in beautiful combinations. Just right to add a bit of sparkle to an outfit.

AND

Just for something different, Susie Tschirsch has wonderful fabric japanese jewellery. Amazing to see and a great present for that sister of mine!

As you can see we have a wonderful array of jewellers. I love them all! Come along this Saturday and see if you can find some special presents for that someone special. Hope to see you there!
