New
childrenís market for southern suburbs
The Handmade Childrenís Markets (HCM) will hold
its very first market on Saturday September 4 at Melville Civic Centre
in Booragoon from 9am to 1pm. Entry is free.
Mum and maker of bright baby quilts and toys, Tash
Kritter, decided to establish the market when she set up her own small
business, Handmade by Tash, earlier this year and quickly discovered
the need for a regular boutique and handmade childrenís market in
the southern suburbs.
This new market showcases high quality products and
services for children aged 0-10. The markets will feature over 30
stalls as well as free entertainment for the kids.
Come down and support your local small businesses
and help local primary schools raise money with a cake stall and $2
sausage sizzle.
For further information, or if youíd like to
participate in the HCM, contact Tash on 0424 958 630 or tash@handmadechildrensmarkets.com
or visit the website at www.handmadechildrensmarkets.com

challenges and lengths. Thereís plenty of reminders of the
railwayís past for young minds to discover, including old
stationmasterís houses, railway platforms, wooden trestle bridges
and significant railway cuttings.
