14th March 2020 market

There was a great community spirit at the March Sugar and Spice Flea with regular traders and new additions too.

It was lovely to see families enjoying some shopping and a bite to eat and drink in the tearoom.  We are dog friendly and we had lots of dogs visiting too.

New traders included Sage Jewellery, jewellery made from polymer clay and Crafts by Christine.  Christine's hand knitted cute Easter chicks proved very popular.

Another new trader joining us at the March market was Akom Fashions.selling handmade clothing and accessories.  Fedora hat and tote bag modelled by trader Lesley.

Sugar and Spice is a great addition to the independent shops and cafes on Northfields Avenue.  We have a good mix of stalls including handmade jewellery and gifts, vintage homeware and collectables, books, plants and fashion.

Some of our customers have been coming since the very first market almost 4 years ago.  We value their support and it's always lovely to see them.

Watch this space for more dates later on this year.

Meet the Trader

The Sugar and Spice Pop Up Flea Market at the wonderful Moon & Maybe, South Ealing, was a great success.  The space was transformed from a cafe to a buzzing night market and filled with regular Sugar and Spice traders and some new additions too.  The wine was flowing and we had lots of visitors, making a vibrant atmosphere.

We were joined by a local talented potter, Jackie Ward.  Jackie started working with clay at Hanwell Community Centre in 2014 and she was soon caught by the creative bug!  A few years later in 2017 she set up a small studio in her back garden in Northfields where she was joined by 2 other potters who had met at classes.  The 3 potters still share the space and meet together once a week to discuss and share ideas.  Jackie managed to buy a second hand wheel and between the 3 of them they purchased a new kiln, doing communal firings as storage is tight in the studio. 

Jackie currently studies at Richmond Art College, working to improve her throwing technique and learn about all things ceramic.  A real perfectionist, obsessed with the line and form of a pot and only happy once the piece is absolutely right.  She finds it hard sometimes to let her pieces go as they become a labour of love. 

In September 2018 Jackie entered BEAT for the first time and was delighted that lots of her pieces sold and is now venturing into the market place with Sugar and Spice Flea Market. 

You can find Jackie at the 6th April Sugar and Spice Flea Market at St. Mary's Church Hall, W5 5RH.  Open 11-4pm.

10th November Flea Extravaganza

The final Sugar and Spice flea for 2018 was a real extravaganza of a market.  The largest flea to date, with over 25 fantastic stalls selling an eclectic mix of goods including art, fashion, vintage homeware, collectable books, hats, handmade gifts, plants, jewellery and curiosities.

Sugar and Spice is held at St Mary's church hall in W5.  The hall is a great space complete with a tearoom run by Let 'em eat Cake Bakery.  Shoppers can relax and enjoy a drink and a delicious slice of homemade cake.

Sugar and Spice flea supports the local Ealing branch of Oxfam.  The Oxfam bookshop held a stall at the November market selling stunning handmade gifts and collectable books.  Their stall always looks great and is a firm favourite for visitors to the market.

Regular traders returned for the last market of the year and it was great to welcome newbies too.

2019 promises to be an exciting year for the market with new pop up venues and we will be back again at St Mary's church hall.

A big "thank you" to all flea followers and the talented makers and collectors who sell at the market and make it the success that it is.

Happy New Year and watch this space for 2019 market dates.
