I've been to quite a few, but feel bad just looking and not buying, as you say, they put so much time and trouble into making beautiful items, but are not really compensated. I hate over-hearing people saying how dreadfully expensive some of the items are, they obviously have no idea. I love the doily bags and the patchwork cushions, so pretty. I'm glad you bought yourself something, a soap sudser is a great gift to yourself.Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473143331781472223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-59444654489612752432017-12-03T08:06:15.256+10:002017-12-03T08:06:15.256+10:00I love going to pre-Christmas craft markets and al...I love going to pre-Christmas craft markets and always admire the skills of artisan craftspeople. Those jam makers are very professional with their beautiful jars and labels, a bit different to my home printed labels LOL. I can also remember the Soap saver suds makers on the old wash tubs at home. Amazing that you can still buy them.

You guys have the best exhibitions in Toowoomba. I am quite envious.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.com
