Country Charm & Handcrafts

10/03/2026

See you there 😁

💥NEW VENDOR ALERT!💥
🌻🪵✨ COUNTRY CHARM IS RIDING INTO BANKSIA! ✨🪵🌻

Clear a little space in your home (and possibly your heart), because Country Charm & Handcrafts is bringing a wagonload of rustic goodness to Banksia Makers Market this Saturday — and honestly… your kitchen, coffee table and gift cupboard are about to glow up.

This is the kind of stall where you wander over thinking “I’ll just have a quick look”… and 10 minutes later you’re holding three coasters, a tote bag, and explaining to your friend why you absolutely need a bowl cosy in your life.

Let’s talk about the handmade magic they’re bringing:
🥣 Bowl Cosies – Ever microwaved soup and then performed the Olympic sport of Hot Bowl Juggling? Problem solved. These clever little fabric champions cradle your bowl so your fingers don’t have to suffer for your lunch. Comfort food meets comfort engineering.
👜 Tote Bags – Stylish, sturdy, and ready to carry everything from market goodies to emergency snacks. Because we all know one tote bag is never enough.
🔥 Pot Holders – Saving fingers from fiery casserole dishes since approximately five seconds after someone forgot an oven mitt. Practical AND pretty.
🪨 Engraved Slate Coasters – The kind of coasters that make guests say, “Ooooh fancy!” before immediately putting their drink down like they’re in a lifestyle magazine.
🌳 Engraved Timber Pieces – Rustic charm with personality. Beautiful wood, clever designs, and the sort of handcrafted detail that makes a house feel like a home.

Basically, if your décor vibe is somewhere between country cottage, cosy kitchen, and “wow where did you get that?”, you’re going to want to stop by.
So when you’re wandering through Banksia Makers Market, follow the trail of rustic charm, happy shoppers, and people proudly clutching bowl cosies like they’ve discovered the secret to domestic happiness.

What a great day it was at the Silverdome today! So many other creative people, and they still amaze me with their handwork and new ways to come up with something unique that hasn’t already been done before 💖
I didn’t get a chance between all the people to take any fantastic photos but here is one quick one I snapped 😄

It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, these bowl cosies are super handy to pop into the microwave (with your bowl inside of course) to heat or cook your food or to carry that hot bowl or even a cold bowl of ice cream to save your fingers from the heat or the cold ♨️❄️
