I was really excited to visit Finders Keepers Markets in Melbourne earlier this year. Since I hadn't been before, I was looking forward to seeing hundreds of designers and artists on a colossal scale under one roof.

If you haven't heard of Finders Keepers, it is an indie design and art market dedicated in supporting emerging designers, artists and musicians as well as bringing new contemporary ideas and designs to the public.

The amount of talent and broad range of designers and products for sale is impressive. I especially love illustrations, cute cards, quaint jewellery as they are the perfect gift and memento through the years.

If you want one-off fashion pieces, art and design pieces that have been carefully curated by the artists, then this market is for you.

With a great live music line up to keep the ears entertained and booze, it's the perfect day to hang out with your girlfriends and peruse all the stalls. The event has a festival kind of feel with live music, great food, booze, coffee and of course emphasis on Australian made and designed products.

Pick up some gorgeous trinkets at this indie art and design market. With over 150 stalls there is something to tickle your fancy, or put you in stead for next year's Christmas presents.

Yes please! I adore the lamps from Fizzy Lime Creative, please Santa bring me one for Christmas

Finders Keepers Market
Locomotive Workshop Bay 8, Australian Technology Park, Eveleigh, 12-13th Dec 2015. $2 entry, children under 12 years are free as well as being close to public transport.

There are also some great "sew make workshops', where you can learn to crochet, make a lampshade but get in quick before these book out.

Where to eat? Take your pick from Sydney's eateries on wheels – like Eat Art Truck and the Veggie Patch

Tip - Pack a wad of cash as the lines for the ATM machines can be long.
