1. upinanniesroom 2. mjmosaics 3. taybian 4. relleshAfter months of hard work sewing, painting, paper-crafting and jewellery-making, almost 50 BrisStylettes arrived at St Augustine's Church Hall, Hamilton in the early hours of the morning on Saturday 4 July to set up shop for the BrisStyle Indie Designers Market.

The outdoor stalls were hit first by the huge turnout followed closely by crowd jamming in the hall.

Sales flowed till well after midday when the crowd slowed down and we were all finally able to take a deep breath, have a hot coffee... but alas not a cupcake in sight - completely sold out!!

What a great post and all the photos are wonderful. I can't wait for the next market!
what a wonderful day to showcase the amazing talent that brisbane designers have to offer! A couple of my girlfriends and I had a great day oohing and aahing over the gorgeous products - i had to stop myself from buying everything there!!! Also fuelled my new hobby of adding designers to my favourites page on my computer. whenever i need a dose of designer style i browse through and imagine if i had a million dollars what i could buy!!!
Wow sounds like the day was a success. I was i Brissy on Saturday and I didn't know about it. Looking forward to Dec 5
Congrats to everyone. I have heard about the big success of the day. I wish I could have made it. I am also sooo glad that the xmas market is not the same day as The Handmade Expo. It means that I will def be there..I have already placed it in my diary.
Thanks heaps
Liesa
A super day and this post perfectly captures how fantastic it was! Congrats to all the stall holders and organisers! Bravo! Go BrisStyle!
I'll start saving up for the next market. I hope to have more pennies in my pocket for that one than I did on Saturday...so frustrating wanting to buy so much more than my budget allowed!
5 December is in my diary!!! :D
It was a great day! Glad it was so successful for you all :)
Great post Bec. I had the best day on the promo table. Who could've believed that there is something more fun than selling one's own wares. I'm off now to encourage Rosie from "I Can't Sew" to join BrisStyle
Yay for BrisStyle, and yay for the lovely organisers and lovely customers who made Saturday such a success!!
Congrats to all the marketeers and to BrisStyle for such an awesome promotional event. This feature reflects Saturday's BiDM perfectly. What an amazing arty atmosphere. Bring on Christmas BiDM! YAY!!!
Thank you for the wonderful post - it captures the atmosphere of the day perfectly. I can't wait until the December market. Actually, that's not quite true, because I'll need every spare moment to build up my stock!
Yay can't wait for December either! Great post Bec, it really was a fantastic day :)
I had a wonderful time looking, talking & spending money. I must have looked at each stall 5 times each, there was lots to see! Can't wait for December!
