There's fashion, jewellery, woodwork, vintage and retro furniture, food, costumes and kids items too.
The
Redcliffe Indoor Market is located on the main street, near
Nerosso Cafe. You just walk inside and wander down the walkway to see all of the stalls.
No two stalls have the same items, so we shoppers have lots of variety to delight us. Many of the stalls have handmade items and these are great for a different kind of gift.
Below are some of the stalls that I had an opportunity to look at and find out about, but there are many more yet to be discovered.
Fashion and Handmade Delights with Ineke
Ineke is a lovely lady and her stall has a mixture of handmade and fashion items, which include:
Handbags - some are fashion and others are handmade and beautiful - all affordably priced
Fascinators - this is a must for us girls to wear on Melbourne Cup day - I had to buy one!
Gorgeous coat hangers and scarves too

Items at this stall start at $1 and the bags go up to $25 which is a real bargain.

At
Maree's Wood & Watches stall you will find a wonderful selection of handmade woodwork items and watches; jewellery and wrist types.
Maree is the organiser of the Redcliffe Indoor Markets and a
woodwork artisan who runs this stall and makes all of the wood items herself.
I loved the Dragon Clock.

The woodwork quality is lovely.
Maree makes a selection of coasters, clocks and wooden wall hangings with a scroll saw. Her woodwork pieces start at $18 and watches start at $12.

Spring Garden Lane
Donna is a Permanent Botanicals Artisan who hand makes each rose, lily and leaf that you see on display at Spring Garden Lane. The arrangements are stunning and I had to buy a couple of her roses to take home myself.

These specialty Permanent Botanicals are fantastic as a keepsake and would make a gift for those of us who suffer from allergies thanks to pollen. If you have allergies or there is someone special in your life who would love flowers but can't have them due to pollen allergies, then Spring Garden Lane can help.

With a permanent botanical flower arrangement, there are no concerns of ending up with puffy eyes or a running nose!
Spring Garden Lane has a selection of flowers for:
Melbourne Cup - Donna skilfully incorporates her beautiful floral arrangements into hats
A Halloween theme bouquet with the black and burgundy flowers - the roses I bought are incredibly well made and delightful to look at
Christmas gifts - one of her customers has purchased flowers to send overseas because they are stunning, unique and lightweight.
If you don't see something on the day, but you would love an arrangement custom made, make sure you have a chat with Donna as she is happy to create something just for you.

There are many other stalls and I will go back to find out more and share them with you. There are kids items, food and even fancy dress costumes.
The Redcliffe Indoor Markets are a great opportunity for you to wander and do a spot of shopping for Christmas. Also, with Halloween and Melbourne Cup coming up, you may find something fun to wear, use and share.
Each stall has a selection of unique items, so make sure you wander through the whole market and see all of the stores and the great things they have to offer.
If you happen to be at the Redcliffe Street Markets on a Sunday, pop in to see the lovely people at the Redcliffe Indoor Markets too!
