Melbourne has alot of markets but I think the South Melbourne market surpasses them all in terms of atmosphere, cleanliness and quality of stalls enticing you to part with your money. I always find the atmosphere fills me with a sense of childish excitement and eagerness to have a look at everything!

Markets always bring out my inner Parisienne and I just have to buy flowers and pretend I'm in Paris, wandering the aisles and stalls soaking up the buzz of market day with a bunch of blooms tucked in my elbow. It's quite tragic.

Today I bought Snap Dragons and vegetables. What do you think of my food styling? I know, I missed my calling.

See that orange shopping bag? It is the most wonderful enviro bag I have ever used. 

They're hand made by a woman in Melbourne from super stretchy mesh and defy belief in the amount of weight they can hold. I have one in hot pink and vibrant orange and if I had $1 for every time a sales assistant said, "I love your bag!" I'd be raking it in. I really should become a rep. 

They come in a huge range of colours and sizes and squish down to a tiny ball to fit in any pocket or handbag. You really should buy one at www.econetbags.com
