🎨 A Huge Thank You to Amy! 💛

Every Vintage Market needs a little magic, and Amy brings exactly that.

Her craft activities have become such a special part of our markets. It's never just the children who get involved – we love seeing people of all ages sitting together, getting creative and enjoying the moment. Families making memories, friends having a go, grandparents joining in... it's exactly what Sundays should be about.

Our markets are about so much more than shopping. They're about bringing people together. Listening to live music, sharing great food, supporting independent traders and creating space where our community can connect. Amy's creative corner is a huge part of that, and it always brings smiles wherever you look.

Amy also does so much for our community beyond our markets, and we just wanted to give her the biggest shout-out. We are so grateful to have you as part of our team. Thank you for everything you do, your kindness, patience and enthusiasm. We appreciate you so much.

If you're looking for creative workshops, an experienced facilitator, or simply want to discover inspiring things to do with friends and family, make sure you give Amy a follow. We know you'll love what she does.

What we making on Sunday at I Love North Shields vintage market? Washi tape cards! Using vintage buttons and decorations. I love washi tape, so easy to use and it creates the most lovely background for a card, if you don't want to use them as cards they could be background for journal pages or photo boxes. Suitable for adults and children to take part, free or pay as you feel!

Come and see me this Sunday 10am-4pm at The Salt Market Social
