Handmade Market's Styling Award


We have something new and exciting for Handmade Canberra stallholders. After being so impressed by the quality of gorgeous stall displays at our 11 June market, we would like to introduce a Styling Award, in recognition of the extra effort and gorgeousness put in to make Handmade stalls so utterly stunning.

Nominees for this Styling Award (which will be presented after each market) will not necessarily be for the biggest and most fandangled ideas. It will be for any designer who has thought outside the square when it comes to creative ways to display their market goods.

Nominees will be chosen for showing creativity, innovation and cleverness. Of course, beauty and style go without saying, but we're also looking for really interesting ways stallholders manage to catch their customer's eye - and quite simply - make their product look good.

I must say, choosing five nominees was VERY hard - there were so many stunning stalls at this market - my honourable mention list would be as long as the market queues! But choose I must - and so... for our inaugural Styling Award, we are thrilled to announce the following five nominees:

 
Buppo & Wren
 

Mohini Jewellery



Gifts Created





Everything Cupcakes



Chloe & Viscount


We will announce the winner this Friday, so keep an eye on the blog! Who's your favourite?

aw shucks, thanks Tania - I have to say I'm amazed as I always feel like a calamity when I look at all the other beautiful stalls! I posted some full stall pics on my fb page if you want to have a look :) (Chloe & Viscount)

And my vote goes to Buppo & Wren - love, love, love their stall!

Thumbs up for Chloe and Viscount!

They all look wonderful but I think Gifts Created always has a gorgeous display under their big tree. It's not only eye catching and unique but also really functional :)
