To market, to market...where should we go today? Well I don’t
know about today, but I do know about November 29
th! Our lovely
artist, Bryony, of
Crazybird Designs tipped us off that the Christmas
Encraftment Market, held in Christchurch is a not-to-miss event.
(I can’t believe that we’re already talking
about Christmas...120 days and counting!)
Encraftment Market was founded just after the Christchurch
earthquakes, in May 2011. What began as an “outlet for many artisans who had
lost their regular points of sale,” is now a very popular semi-annual market
that thousands of people attend to shop quality handmade items, sample
scrumptious goodies and sip on delicious beverages.
The vast selection of stallholders guarantees attendees an
exceptional selection of crafts and design. Furthermore, the market’s standards
of excellence ensure truly outstanding craftsmanship and uniqueness. Indeed,
Encraftment Market is the place to “shop for fresh, local handmade craft and
design.”
If past markets are any indication, their upcoming Christmas
market looks to be absolutely stellar. Now we just need to purchase our plane ticket
to New Zealand...
