This weekend in Sydney I went to an “Etsy Made Local” market, which had stalls full of local hand-made gear – mostly jewellery, candles, ceramics and fabrics.

It was boiling hot so I walked around all the stalls pretty quickly and just grabbed the cards for the ones I really liked. I realised afterwards that most of the stalls didn’t actually have Etsy stores so that was a bit of a surprise. Apparently every single stallholder has an Etsy store. Whoops.

Here’s the stores that I really liked. I hope you like them too:

• Hutwoods candles. Wild Jasmine & Sandalwood, and Coconut & Lime were my favourites. (Etsy – Hutwoods)

• Cleanse by hepzabeth. The Driftwood and Coconut & Mandarin soaps and candles were my favourite scents. (Etsy – Cleanse by Hepzabeth)

• Twenty Two Stories. Original photography prints of Sydney beaches. (Etsy – TwentyTwoStories)

• Ink&Weave. Really cool linen tea towels with great prints. (Etsy – Inkandweaveteatowels)

• Tiny Paradise. Plants. (Etsy – Tiny Paradise Shop).

• Made by Miss Meg. Stationery. I liked these as the paper inside was good quality. Often amateur stationery is a bit too… wiggly? I actually found her Etsy store first go.

• Tiny Giraffe. Travel inspired line art prints. (Etsy – Tiny Giraffe Co)

• Under The Hawthorns. Childrens fabric items. (Etsy – Under the Hawthorns)

Ceramics

• Derum Studio. (Etsy – DERUM)

• Louise M Studio. (Etsy – Louise M Studio)

• Robb Fuller Ceramics. (Etsy – Robfullerceramics)

Jewellery

• Ayana. One of my favourites. (Etsy – Ayana Jewellry)

• Chase Fate. She actually had a great range in her stall which isn’t reflected (yet) in her Etsy store.
• Ant Haus Designs. (Esty – Anthaus)

• Hoodooloulou. Handmade Jewellery straight off the bench

There were lots more stalls but the ones listed above were my favourites. Given the range on show in their stalls I would definitely buy from them in the future.
