Soar along to Little Sparrow Market – on Sunday 1 Feb at Melbourne’s Federation Square, from 10am till 5pm – for a carefully curated selection of stalls that’ll make your heart sing! Featuring gorgeous goods from Australian designers, makers and artists, the market has a focus on handmade, ethical and sustainable wares and is the perfect place to pick up a meaningful gift, a special item of clothing or a beautifully designed treasure for your nest.

We also have a couple of lovely prizes from vendors to give away: one cute ceramic cup/planter from Melbourne artist Yiying Lee, and one beautiful linen ‘Frill Seeker’ top from independent label The Wolf and I. To enter, simply leave a comment below telling us which one you’d like to win and why. {Entries close 5pm AEST Mon 19 Jan, 2015}.
