Glebe Street Fair 2012

On Sunday 18 November, 2012, my mother and I attended the Glebe Street Fair. It was held along Glebe Point Road,  entrance from Parramatta road until Bridge road was closed off for this amazing day out. The weather was cool winds, hot and sunny with little clouds in sight! It was about a 1km walk to reach one end to another, parking was hard to find, unless you took the train/bus/walked to the markets. We drove as the other options of transportation, mother wasn't keen for. Parking was free where found :) 

We got there about 12pm, it opened at 10am and closed at 5pm. It was definitely packed!! 

This was only the beginning. We ended up eating first, we bought fresh lemonade at $4.50, the Pad Thai (siew) weren't from the market stalls though, forgot the name of the restaurant :( $5 for a small serving but it filled me up good! Fresh Turkish bread, only $3 and holy cow it was like 50cm long! Fresh yoghurt from Roaming Cow Dairies - we sampled these before buying a small 250g tub at only $2, and 900g for $6! Mini artisan pops from Liana Raine - Mum had the Apple Passionfruit and I had the Watermelon Lemonade, these were freshly made and served perfectly cold especially for a day like yesterday.

There were so many market stalls, including Paperdoll, St Frock, Erin Louise, Get Frocked, Kaboodle Designs, Roger + Peach, Stevie & Me, WowThings - just to name a few fashion stalls. There were plenty of food going around, from the beginning, in the middle and to the end - Gourmet Gozleme, Roaming Cow Dairies, Simply Paella, Tall Grass Cane Juice and the Natural Dutch Pancake Co., to name a few. There was also, kids stalls, miscellaneous stalls, candy and cake stalls, toy stalls and homeware stalls. 

Mum bought a bamboo bowl and a serving plate, both $10 each! There were also small bamboo noodle bowls that were selling for 4 for $10! Bargain! She also bought a cute top for $10, interwoven wool with cool colours of purple and blue. The only thing she wanted to buy were the WowThings wallet. The wallets were $25 each, or 2 for $40. Mum bargained with the salesman for 5 for $100 - she got it :) she wanted to bargain even more, but I said that price was good. Five wallets and they were those ones where they don't rip and water resistant! Score :) 

The only things I bought were 3 for $10 bracelets (above), my mumma chose the first and last. I like them :) I also bought a flower tiara (below) - so sad, I didn't get the store name :( would definitely buy more, if only knew the name. 

It was an absolute lovely day at Glebe yesterday spent with mumma bear :) the people there were friendly, the food was yummy and the market stalls were endless (depending on what you're looking for!) 

There is always next year if you missed out this year! There are always Glebe Markets on every Saturday!

Love,
