So excited that we are coming to the Historic Ormiston House’s 2019 Craft Expo next Sunday, 10th March. It’s going to be awesome!
The Venue
The venue is amazing! The “Father of the Australian Sugar Industry”, Capt. Louis Hope’s historic home is surrounded by 14 acres of equally historic grounds and gardens overlooking Moreton Bay. Built in the 1860, Ormiston House is one of the finest examples of colonial architecture in Queensland and is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. Here’s a quick glimpse of the house:
Even if you aren’t into markets, art shows or craft expos, it’s worth visiting for just the grounds and view alone. Once you’re there, I’m certain you’ll enjoy the expo too!

There amazing arts and wonderful crafts to view and buy in this craft expo. So come along and stock up on:
- jewellery

Visit our stall
Our stall will be your “go to” stall to pick up the handmade cards and pretty package for all the wonderful gifts you purchase at the market. You can also purchase a range of gifts from us too. Our limited edition “Tins of Cards” and gift boxes of cards make great gifts and are sure to be snapped up quick.
Or choose your favourite cards from our collection and have them beautifully presented in a decorated acetate box. Such a pretty, useful and not mention practical gift. Of course, we haven’t forgotten those of you who give the gift of wine – be sure to check out our exclusive hand made wine gift bags. These hand crafted bags are also the perfect way to give a few bath bombs too. Anyway, there’s too much to tell you about here. You’ll just have to come and check out our tent at the craft expo.
Don’t forget to mark your diaries for Sunday, 10 March 2019!! This is set to be a fantastic day out!
Can’t wait to see you there!
Until then… happy creating
