The kids and I ventured into the city to check out the Auckland Fair. Happening just twice a year, the Fair is the largest, exclusively handmade and curated market in New Zealand. With a mission to empower independent creative businesses from all over the country and bring their amazing and unique products direct to the public at Shed 10, Queens Wharf.
With over 100 unique handmade designer-maker businesses to choose from, you can shop from a selection of jewellery, art, prints, ceramics, clothing, kids toys, soaps, candles, cosmetics, homewares and more - all handmade and beautifully presented by the person behind the table.
I went along to see what new jewellery and clothing designers there might be and I found a few delectable designers;
The next Auckland Fair is Sunday 4th December. For more information on the fair check out their website; Auckland Fair.

I have been a fan of this range of jewellery for a while as I stumbled across it at Auckland Art Gallery in their Gift Shop. I love the colour and the fact it is all made from native timber.
Gwyneth Hulse Faceted Bangle $37.00, Rewarewa Rope Necklace $50.00 and Faceted Rings $25.00.
