I live near a small town, Kalamunda. Once a month part of the streets are cordoned off and a market is held. It is organized by the local Rotary Club.

We have a plethora of markets in WA, but this one, thanks to Rotary, is soooo different. Most of the goods are made by local artisans and are of superb quality.

Prices are moderate and it is fun just to window shop. The range is wide.....pickles, jams, fresh vegetables, weaving, silver ware, jewelry of all types, plants, baby clothes,  cosmetics (cottage industry), honey, toys..one could go on and still not have included every goody.

I was talking to a man who had made the most stunning wrought iron sculptures. There is a waiting list of six months and the organisers are very demanding in the quality and originality of the produce on sale. I hope my grandchildren will enjoy the gifts I found here.
