Brisbane Markets Launch Success!

We were very happy to launch our first ever Brisbane Finders Keepers Markets last month and we’re overwhelmed with the response!
The beautiful stalls, amazing music, wonderful people and a lovely outdoor cafe and bar all contributed to making the weekend a complete success. The historic and beautiful Old Museum as the location which played host to a community and festival vibe and also a nostalgic place full of memories for lots of Brisbanites! We’ll be back in 2010 for more markets in June & November – watch out for more info in the new year!

I like to experiment with different mediums”

To add our own ranges, I approached some of my favourite designers from Melbourne and the best local crafters and artists.
