I'm especially looking forward to browsing the wares of Ruby & Scarlett, a small letter press studio from Balmain and Shagpile who handmakes interesting & funky accessories from vintage, reclaimed & unusual fabrics. Curious am I!

Any markets over Queens B'day weekend?
I'm coming up to Sydney over the Queen's birthday long weekend (June 5 to 8) and was wondering if there were any other spunky markets like these I could visit while I'm up there.
I just stumbled on your site from googling for Nancy bird reviews and I love it. Very stylish blog indeed!
