I heart 'handmade' markets

Unique. Stylish. Beautiful babies & kids stuff. That's what Allie’s Attic Markets is all about. Everything is exquisitely and lovingly handmade, truly a kids shopping heaven. From funky soft toys and fashion to the latest in kids hair accessories, handmade cards & wall art, you will find pieces that are unique and unlike anything available in mainstream stores. Devotees, like me, keep returning to the markets because there is always something new on offer.

I had a great day at my very first markets and i was super excited to showcase my handmade cards and nursery mobiles and i was really happy with the outcome. As these are my first markets, I didn't realize how much time is involved with the whole preparation, starting from making my cards, getting all my props and finalizing all the little details. However, everything went great on the day & I had a lot of very happy customers leave with bags of ‘My little jedi' cards.
I met some really lovely stallholders & few of my lovely facebook fans came by to say hi which was really lovely to put a face to the name. I bought Aniken a super cute tee and tights from Sooda Bub, who specialize in baby & toddler denim, tees and tights & i also got a gorgeous pirate blankie and owl dummy holder from Madi and Me. There was Suzanna from Mon Tresor next to me who makes stunning hair accessories for little girls, personalized cupcake toppers, wall motifs & has exclusive retro paper straws perfect for any of your kids parties.

I'm now in the process of sourcing paper for my new card collection, so stay tuned. I am looking forward in seeing you at the next markets. x

'My litte Jedi' as featured on Handmade Kids

Once upon a time, there was a young mum with a love of vintage, whimsical, unique cards. Frustrated with the lack of such designs available, she decided to create her own. One day, over tea and scones, My Little Jedi was born.

A contemporary twist on vintage charm, 'my little jedi' brings you handmade designs for all types of special occasions. Mix of vintage treasures with modern pieces to create an individual look, adorned with pretty ribbons and embellishments. All cards are made by hand, finished with care and limited in their design, therefore unique. I hope you love our cards as much as i love making them for you.
