Lunchtime Concerts!

The Square was filled with the Sound of Music! The lunchtime concerts are back! I am excited, I love local muso's sharing their talents at the markets. It creates a wonderful atmosphere at the market and show cases the talents of our community. Justin Walshe is on today and Jim Fisher is on next week. We are open Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun next week so come down for a shop, a brownie, a papusa, an organic coffee and some beautiful music. We have some fabulous new stalls so buy local this Christmas.

The Freo Village Market and Oxfam

Tomorrow we will support Oxfam's GROW project! There will be lots of action and some great info on how you can make a difference to the lives of people who have very little and some who have nothing. Please come down and visit their stall and have a look around this very special market.

Market's are back!

Wow what a huge first day! Even after 7 yrs...I have been thinking it was 6 but someone told me it was our 7th, there was plenty of surprises. After trouble shooting with different council departments the market found its old groove and old friends dropped in and we met some new ones. We had a great turn out for Club Fairy. Fairy Sandie rang me the night before and sounded terrible, I had an awful vision of myself having to pull on some wings and a fairy dress. Thankfully she was feeling a lot better in the morning and all the little kids that came to say hello brought out her magic sparkle. Hoola hoops and Fairy Yoga, what more could you want?

Stitchville was fantastic! Jasmin Jones taught us the crochet basics and we laughed, and concentrated and actually made some progress. Mary Tarrant the knitted sock Queen came down and we drew in many inquisitive souls. We met an avid knitted who was visiting Freo after moving to Texas 26 yrs ago. She told us amazing stories of her creations that are auctioned for charity and waiting lists of people wanting her work. She is going to send some photos so hopefully I can share them.
The Village Cafe had homemade scones and organic homemade mullberry jam and lemon butter! Unfortunately Christiane is away for the next couple of weeks so we will have to wait for her return for more culinary treats. We have Lady Latte joining us with her delicious coffee in Christiane's absence.
Next week we are open both Wednesday the 12 October and Thursday the 13 October. Its the school holidays and we have the Endeavour arriving on Wednesday. I am already looking forward to it!

Jasmin is a very talented Artist. She has been gracing our market for about 5 years with her beautiful jewellery. Over the years I have come to realise that jewellery is but one of her many talents. Crochet is a passion of her's, here is another example of her skill.

Poster

Hmmm how amazing would our fig trees look with a bit of colour, craft, and creativity! This pic inspired me to make a poster, my first! I think its ok for a beginner! Thanks to everyone who wrote in supporting Stitchville. Its very exciting, a little nerve racking but mostly...I can't wait! I am having all those crazy dreams of being the only one down there on Thursday but I know its just part of the process of letting go...and the art of allowing and learning to trust!
