While handmade is the new black, artisan markets are the new shopping mall. Often held outside and the ability to meet the makers is certainly preferable in my mind, to tackling those super centre car parks and the homogeneous store offerings. So here are a few up & coming one off Christmas Markets or Fairs in Syd/Melb/Adel. There are plenty of regular weekly markets running throughout too of course. Why not make it your mission to Support Small Business this Christmas? Feel free to hit me up in the comments with other recommendations.
