Soooo, Beyoncé just made history. Big shocker, right? 🏆✨

Everyone’s buzzing about her Grammy win, but let’s be real—at this point, her wins are basically the default. 🏆✨

But hey, if you’re looking for something else to buzz about, we've got just the thing—Two Tales Distillery Co. 🍸

Crafted by Simon and Kelly, this dynamic duo is all about experimenting with bold flavors and using local ingredients from the Gold Coast’s stunning oceans and rainforests.

Their drinks are so good, even Beyoncé would say, “I woke up like this… ready for a round.” No red carpet needed 😎✨

Is it just me, or did January have 47 Mondays? 😵‍💫

Hard launching into February, we're going to be taking a note from "Wine me up and watch me go.." 🤣 🙌✨ Who knew that their handmade artisan gifts could be inspiring!

Here is another quote we will be living by this month "Everything that didn't work out in January was just making room for what is coming in February" 🥰 - Make sure you tag any friends who need some February inspiration to get them through the madness!

The best place to be on a warm Saturday night is down by the water, sipping on an ice cold Raw Sugarcane Juice while strolling through the markets with your favourite people ✨🏖

It really doesn’t get any better than that. Unless you pick up some delicious treats from Golden Turkish Sweets for the trip home… then it really is the best kind of night.

To our amazing vendors who bring their passion and creativity every week, our talented entertainers who keep the energy alive, and every single one of you who has visited, supported, and shared in the market magic…thank you! 🙏
