Sundays at the Old Bus Depot Markets

Old Bus Depot Markets open every Sunday
Kingston Foreshore
Every Sunday The Old Bus Depot Markets hosts a collection of the most amazing pastries, international foods, local wine, flowers, jewelry, home wares, fashion, photography, art, millinery and so much more. The market is 17 years young and still running strong with much of the Canberra community frequenting the event every week end.

Here's a little taste of the 200+ stalls :

Boloco Creek Steelworks has an incredible collection of sculptures, garden ornaments, and homewares all handcrafted from recycled steel. The workmanship in each piece is amazing and they fit beautifully with the current industrial-chic home decorating trend.

Revived Wares by Tess Gifford. "Jewelry bras and accessories made with buttons beads and curiosities"

This is one very creative lady, my favorite piece was a black necklace that was made from heaps of beautiful big buttons sewn into a 'v' shape, my pic didn't turn out very impressive though so I've chosen to show off one of her cool ring-pull tab necklaces.

The markets always have some cool live entertainment, today they had an accordion player outside who set this awesome quirky carnival feel. This busker had an amazing voice... and really, really cool hair, I'm a little envious!

Of course our little market shop is one of my favorites!
I tried to get a couple of inside pics but it was insanely busy, well done Mel and Little Rebecca, I can't believe how calm and collected you both were!

I drooled over the amazing array of gourmet chocolate, Turkish delicacies, nougat and cheeses before selecting this gorgeous patisserie to share with you from Creme n' Sugar.

I had to include some of these beautiful, intricate necklaces by Lillian Toms. The time and patience taken to create each piece as well as her creativity blows me away!
