Finders Keepers is a dangerous place to be. Hell for those unable to
exert willpower over their need to possess objects both locally and
delightfully made. Hell for those escorting said shoppers who have run
out of cash and look to you with puppy dog eyes. Aside from that, it’s
absolute heaven.

Perfectly timed for holiday season shopping, the Finders Keepers Spring/Summer markets will be held on December 4th and 5th at CarriageWorks. This independent market event showcases some of Australia’s best young art and design in a festival atmosphere with live music, a café and a bar.

Some of our favourite picks from this season’s markets include TMOD’s interactive scratchie cards, KeepCup, the world’s first barista standard reusable coffee cup, and up-and-coming fashion labels Secret Squirrel and Limedrop. We’re also a fan of the instant photography fun of Inaninstant Photography.

Remember, 'Finders Keepers, Losers… Suck.’ The old primary school rhyme will definitely ring true if you miss out on these Sydney-grown markets.
