Introducing a new shop and concept, Locally Made in Australia

   If you go to any store to buy an item that is made in Australia, you will be hard pressed to find anything that is actually made in Australia.  Go into any store that sells Australian Souvenirs, turn it over, and what do you see?  I have yet to find a souvenir that says "Made in Australia".   
  I often buy from markets and specialty stores that sell local products.  By choosing items that are made locally or handmade items at markets I am supporting the local economy and my local community.

  I went to the opening of a new concept store that supports local artists and artisans of food. The owner of this new store has an amazing vision for handmade items.  The vision is to promote locally made products both online and in store. 
   At the opening there was some really great food items as well as handmade clothes, art works, photography, and some amazing handmade items.
  If you live in the Melbourne, VIC area, come visit Made Locally.  If your a seller of locally made products, this is a great place to sell your products too.

Happy  Blogging;
Tracy @ Warratahstree

    I know what you mean. It drives me crazy especially when it is a patriotic themed item with the US FLAG ON IT!!! and it's made in J#%$N!!! I like your paper crafting work! Have you ever heard of Close To My Heart? I am a rep and our big wigs recently went to Austrailia....scuttlebut is that there will be an Austrailian CTMH division SOON! We are already in US & Canada.

      Carolyn, I have not heard of Close to my Heart. I will have to have a look at it. I am a Stampin Up Demonstrator, so all my paper craft uses Stampin Up! paper and inks. I had a look at the Close to My Heart site. Very nice products.

    I found your blog on the showcase and started following on google friend connect. I wish I could find a store that sells local handmade products where I live. If I'm ever in Australia I'll try to find this place!

      I have signed up now. I didn't before as I live in Australia, so thought I was not able to claim the prize if I win.

First Love, What inspires me

  Have you ever been somewhere, done something that make you say "Ahhh" and feel like spreading your arms out wide and dance a little happy dance?      I decided to take Saturday, last week, off from making all the Mother's day cards I have to make for a womens group I belong to.  I belong to a women's breakfast club and every year I make at least 20 Mother's day cards to sell to the group.  Some Mother's Day Cards I have been making         This past weekend, my husband and I went on our usual market scouting.  We went to Red Hill, Market,  Melbourne's, "Grand Dame"  of markets.  I have always liked to visit the craft markets to get creative ideas and to ensure what I am making is unique.  Of course I love to do my "grandma shopping" at the markets.  I think by buying handmade items at the markets I am supporting other artist  and I also like buying one of a kind items.  ...
