A couple of weekends ago E and I made our way to Fremantle to check out the Bazaar at Fremantle Arts Centre. It was a fairly mellow event, with a mix of familiar and new stalls! The flavour was definitely Fremantle.
My favourites for the day included the beautiful fabrics of Old Grey House and the card creations of Mokoh. There was a lighting guy too I liked but I have to find his business card.
The gift shop at the Fremantle Arts Centre also stocks many of the artists who were selling at the market, and it was fun to play "Spot the Local Vendor". Maybe I should get out more.
We also browsed through the Home Open exhibit. It features selections from the private collections of a range of Fremantle artists, and the display was fascinating. I definitely recommend a look if you're down that way. I never seem to make the time to visit galleries, although when I go on holidays to other cities it tends to be high on my list of things to do. Maybe that can be one of my new years resolutions. (I made only one for this year and I have not managed to do it, so that is rolling over. Again.)
We topped off our day with a visit to the new B&M Store, where they stock a delightful range of all things felt and beautiful objects. E and I both bought some lovely greeting cards and tried to think of excuses to buy other items. B&M are another reason now to visit that part of High Street Fremantle.
