Little Village Market Elwood

For a year now the Little Village Market Elwood has been running. It’s on a few times a year when school holidays are on.

I had a stall myself at the very first one. It was a great experience. It was my first market stall anywhere and what a great one to have as a first. The people organising the market and the fellow stall holders were all lovely. I’ve since developed a friendship with the organiser and brains behind it all, Bella. She is all round a lovely, lovely person.

I think I have attended every market they have held so far. I was chatting about this to Bella and she pointed out that she cannot recall one that I have left empty handed. It’s true, every market I find something quirky, cute, interesting, or yummy. It’s a small market, but packed with great stalls. All are worth a good look.

The latest October market was once again filled with great stalls and finds.

I was torn between many necklaces at ‘Arrow Divine’ until the gorgeous one I ended up purchasing was shown to me. I loved it the moment I laid eyes on it - a stunning large silk tassel from Turkey. Bright yellow or hot pink were the choices and, whilst the yellow was lovely, I couldn’t not have the hot pink.

I stocked up on incense. Although I stock oodles of scented candles, diffusers etc I still enjoy other scented lines. I will go out and buy candles that I don’t stock just to try them. The incense I buy at this market is called ‘Hippy Sticks’. I’ve bought these a couple of times now.
