Yummy Mummies Day

Make your way to the mothership of maternal delights!
.

Get a head start on making mums day at the YDM this Sunday May 5. With so much variety, there is something for all kinds of Queen Bee. This is also a great opportunity to pick up a present for any pregnant friends who have their own special surprise on the way. Whether you have just found out or attending a Baby Shower-you can find gifts galore on every stall.

Pretty Gorgeous

As we move toward the future, more and more often we find ourselves craving a more simple approach to our statement styling. If your mission is to find covetable and iconic modern pieces suiting a classic vibe, you’ll find all your dreams in the designs from Gone Dotti.

Young Designers Market stallholder Megan Phillips is the local jewellery designer behind the Gone Dotti range-based on a love of quirky, geeky, vintage and fun pieces. Consisting of pendants, cufflinks, earrings, rings, bracelets & brooches made from interesting images, glass, resin, glue, paper, timber and recycled materials. The intent is to create eclectic, wearable jewellery with a sense of humour!

Trading at the YDM Sunday April 7, we discover more about Megan and her treasures…

Totes Amazebags!

A girl can never have too many stylish satchels. They also prove a perfect present as no colour is clashing and every size is suitable. You know the value of an item when the corporate world sees their importance-like  insurance companies offering bespoke coverage to fashionistas on the go…knowing how we covet the arm candy that contains our treasures-almost like a best friend with which we share every moment.
