Do you enjoy a relaxed vibe, looking through unusual handmade quality goods stalls, getting some fresh fruit and vegies, enjoying coffee and music under the trees? Well who doesn’t, right? Cooby Market runs on the SECOND SATURDAY of the month from 9am to 1pm. It is a good old-fashioned community initiative, auspiced by the Cooby Community Association and generously supported by the City of Cockburn. Have a read about our history here. We have the lovely Jane Burnett who co-ordinates the market for a tiny stipend payment (stipend is a really old word that means peanuts!!)

Midland Farmers Markets is the second oldest in Perth.We have been around for about 37 years and contrary to what some people think apart from a huge selection of fresh fruit and vegetables there is much,much more to see (and buy of course).We now have some form of entertainment most weeks whether it be a band,a balloon artist or something a bit different.

Begin Bright Bicton is a Primary Tutoring and School Readiness Centre which also provides School Holiday Craft and Science workshops. Begin Bright Bicton School Readiness and Primary Tutoring delivers a literacy and numeracy program that is Australian created and links directly to the Australian Curriculum ensuring that all skills learnt connect immediately to your child’s schooling. School Readiness classes are a one hour session per week and we focus on letter sounds, handwriting and numbers. Our classes also assist in extending attention span, developing fine motor control (through cutting, drawing, writing and craft), and increasing the ability to follow directions and complete set tasks. All of theses are important skills essential for the smooth transition to Kindergarten and Pre Primary. Classes are available to fit in with Kindy commitments during the week and on Saturday morning for children attending full time Pre-Primary.

My name is Marie, well my friends call me Maris. Why Maris? Well it rhymes with Paris of course. I love pretty things, I like things that smell nice, hey! I am a girl. Girls are supposed to like all things pretty, right? The thing I love the most are candles and especially the ones that smell nice. Sick of spending extortionate amounts of money for scented candles, I decided to make my own, and what a success it has been. I have created many assorted colours, scents and theme ideas which my pictures demonstrate. My candles are hand poured soy wax right here in WA, for those that don’t know much about soy wax, it is a vegetable wax made from the oil of soy bean. There are many benefits in using soy wax, primarily that it is completely renewable and it will burn cleanly and slowly maximising your candle life. All my container soy wax candles are handpoured by myself in WA using only optimum products. I have been trying to Keep a french flair to all my candles making it unique to myself. I am constantly changing my stall display to keep my customers interested and trying to make it more interactive with the customers, there is nothing more boring than the same set up all the time. As my candles are as natural as can be, i try to keep the theme as close to nature as possible using natural wood as props etc... Depending on space, I usually have two tables either in a L shape or one higher than the other in front of each other. I also have ladder like shelving also depending on space which i will use occasionally, I am introducing more display shelving in 2017.
