With just five more weeks to go before Christmas, there is still some time to shop for gifts to spoil your loved ones. To that end, the Friends of the Edgemead Library are currently running a craft market until the end of the month at the library where several uniquely made items are on sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lynne Anderson, treasurer, says a market is held twice a year, in June and November. The market is open to any craftsman or woman who wish to exhibit their items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An advert is placed on Facebook, and application forms are available at the library for crafters to apply for a table at the craft market, says Anderson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We accept hand made crafts and many of our crafters have been part of the market for many years. We also have a regular donated-book sale every last Saturday of the month,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All funds raised are used to buy new books for the library for our patrons to enjoy and we have the enviable reputation for being the leading library for new available best sellers, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anderson told TygerBurger<\/em> that the market is usually well supported by the local community and that it has been running for several years now. She says they also have a good standing relationship with the organisers of the annual Edgemead Christmas Market held at the community hall during December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, she said the items on sale during June are predominantly for the winter season, while the one held in November is more focused on summer. She says the exhibitors vary as a result, but that they receive a significant amount of interest from the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the items currently on sale include earrings, necklaces, knitted dolls, Christmas cards, book and tablet sleeves, book marks, gift tags, laundry bags, Christmas sweets and treats and Christmas decorations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
