The Mothers' Market is a collective of creative, skilled and motivated Tassie mums who who wanted an outlet for sharing their wares. This weekend's market was held in the St Georges Church Hall in Cromwell St, Battery Point. An utterly gorgeous venue, the hall was a perfect setting for a delight of a market. Well- stocked, but not uncomfortably jam-packed, there was the usual fare of bags, baked goods, kids clothes, prints, fabric buttons, stuffed toys, cards, Christmas decorations and jewellery. Lots of the imagery that is very in-vogue at the moment: silhouettes of deer and bare trees and bold animals, leaves and retro prints. But all extremely pleasing to look at and touch and imagine owning. (Or indeed buy if you had any spare spondoolies!)
I had the delightful surprise of running into a very old school friend, and the performance piece de resistance had to be the woman who made and served excellent coffees one-handed with a baby on her hip! The essence of the Mothers' Market!
Next market is supposedly March next year. Watch this space for details. Perhaps I will be part of it!

Great, isn't it? You so should have a stall there next Zoe. I think I'm going to share Sarah's stall next time.
