We had a beautiful market last month!! ‘Nick&Liesl’ played throughout the day and local strings trio ‘Sorella’ played for the first time and were really fantastic! We had some lovely new stalls, which always gives the market a great buzz, and shows that Newcastle’s Handmade Community just keeps on growing!! August’s market will have some first time stallholders that I’m very excited about! Including Indigenous Painter Tom Croft’s vibrant illustrations and paintings, Elkhorne creates gorgeous screen printed homewares and clothing and The Hare & The Tortoise make funky children’s softies, geisha dolls and other cute things! Stay tuned for more information in the weeks leading up to 6th August and check out our new The Olive Tree Market BLOG http://theolivetreemarket.blogspot.com/ we have also changed our Facebook Page to https://www.facebook.com/theolivetreemarket so LIKE our page!! The cute little owl is by Blossom & Cat and is made from recycled blankets and found objects!!

Next weekend will be a fantastic day at the Olive Tree!! We are lucky to have indie/folk duo ‘Nick & Liesl‘ coming to play for the whole market! This is at the end of their Australia tour and will be their only gig in Newcastle before leaving for their European Tour!!
