Project Tableway - Northern Regards Artisan Market

Firstly, is everyone ok after that big storm ?? Good day to stay indoors in craft I think !

So, Friday night was the TWNH Annual Women's Dinner.
A chance to gather with colleagues, friends, neighbours and like minded women to celebrate TWNH and "Real Women, Real Role Models."

We returned to our roots at the humble Leinster Grove hall, home of Made 'n Thornbury Craft Market. And what better way to decorate the hall and make the evening extra special than to invite our clever crafters to decorate the tables. Each in their own individual style, creativity and talents.

The hall looked amazing ! So proud of our clever stallholders. All real women and all wonderful.

The level of detail and creativity was extraordinary.

Rather than have you miss out on the fun, we'll be sharing each clever crafter's tables with you here on the blog, in a series we like to call, Project Tableway !

First up on the tableway......is our 'sister' market, Northern Regards Artisan Market.

Staying true to their sustainable handmade ethos, Northern Regards brought some clever upcycling to the tables......



Damaged records and cds, well past their playing days became Northern Regards Artisan Market placemats and coasters. While candle holders and vases were created from craftbeer bottles that had served their purpose and now upcyled.

Northern Regards is all about handmade and upcycling, being Melbourne's only market that focuses on local sustainable handmade. Proud to be entering their second Christmas season, the market takes place at the iconic Northcote Social Club on the first Saturday of every month.

This month, they are celebrating Spring Racing Carnival.....without the horses, but with the cake, champagne and fabcy headwear.

Wear your best handmade or upcycled hat or fascinator to the market THIS SATURDAY and with every purchase from the market you'll receive a free glass of bubbles ! That's sure to make the Christmas shopping a lot more pleasant !




You can follow Northern Regards Artisan Market and never miss an update or market date on

And don't miss their next two market dates,
Saturday November 1 and Saturday December 6th 11am - 4pm.



Thanks Northern Regards - we think you're pretty amazing. Cheers !

And that was our Twilight Market.......

Wow !
Just wow !
What an amazing twilight market we had last Friday......




The sun was shining, the sausages were sizzling, children were being creative, the wine was flowing and shoppers happily shopping.




There were  picnics being held in the park next to the hall. 

It was fantastic to see so many of our recent Make Craft Your Business participants debuting their wares at Made 'n Thornbury.





Being a warm night, the Picket Fence Pops delicious fruit icy poles were a huge hit and SOLD OUT in just TWO HOURS. Never fear, they'll be back on December 13th.




As will we, with more talented stallholders, handmade Christmas gifts, raffle, sausage sizzle and activities for young and old.



A BIG thank you goes to :

Our stallholders for your tireless efforts in crafting beautiful local handmade.

TWNH staff and management for your ongoing support and the great sausage sizzle that raised much needed funds for TWNH.

Generous stallholders that donated to our raffle. Which also raised funds for TWNH

Happy shopppers - our local community support was on show and it was beautiful to see.

Most importantly, our VOLUNTEERS, thank you to our volunteers who helped with the sausage sizzle, raffle, wine sales and running the market. We simply can not do it without you.

Now, let's all get back to making and we look forward to seeing you at our last market for 2014 on Saturday December 13th 10am - 4pm.
