Gifts with a Conscience were the top sellers this past week at Traders All Year Market. They have also recently brought in an array of handcrafted Christmas decorations and small gifts which are very well priced. Their beading and weaving is of the highest quality and all handcrafted, via their job creation projects, by people from disadvantaged communities.

Jan and Anita also join us as new traders this week, and their stall is already proving very popular. They stock handbags, purses and a variety of gifts and toys. My favorites are their traditional wooden trucks, trains and planes. We wish them every success in our store.

Our outdoor craft market this Saturday will have a live band, so come along and enjoy some German cuisine at the European Deli stall. And if you're wondering what to do with the kids, Tersia Smit, a qualified counsellor and therapist, is giving Free Art Therapy classes in our store from 9:00 to 13:00.
