People of Launceston you are spoilt!
You have the most amazing choice of gifts and 'stuff for yourself' that are all completely handmade - all of the raw materials have been loving hand-picked, hand-designed and then handmade with love by the stallholder. Each item is individual and special.
Who wouldn't want a handmade gift for Christmas, I ask you? Me, I just love handmade brooches at the moment... nod, nod, wink, wink to my family!
At the market this weekend, you will be spoilt by:
Samspiration - beautiful felted products including cute animals, toys, brooches, mobiles, booties and hats
