Miso Funky

I really like the look of the Miso Funky website www.misofunky.com
it has a real funky look to it and a cute handmade shop. The crafty duo that run Miso funky also have a events page on the site that lists markets happening in the Glasgow region and other spots. Click here to take a look.

Pretty Crafty Things

Take a look at www.prettycraftythings.com
for information on markets happening in Leeds. I've taken the following info from there myspace page www.myspace.com/prettycraftythings

"prettycraftythings is a monthly alternative market, with the purpose of providing an avenue for contemporary indie designers and a new generation of renegade crafters to showcase their wares and network with other like-minded folk. It is also an opportunity for people to buy quality, unique handmade goods from the real life person who made it which, we are sure you will agree, is way better than the faceless, mass-produced corporate stuff isn't it!

come and join us at thesubculture on the third Saturday of every month between 2pm and 6pm

***FORTHCOMING MARKETS***

***15th September - thesubculture, Leeds***
***12th october - prettycraftythings at Leeds Light Night***
