Christmas Cracker 2013

Yes Yes Yes

That time again.....well almost....I mean its not quite christmas yet.....but some of us have to start thinking about it.

The Dublin Flea and Block T Christmas Market is back for its third year in Smithfield on Dec 13th, 14th & 15th  with over 100 stalls and we are currently taking applications. As always we are looking for the best that Dublin's independent trading scene has to offer in the way of second hand goods, furniture, clothes, music, bric-a-brac, crafty odds and ends and all things creative for christmas.

APPLICATION FORM HERE

Applications will remain open until October 28th and we will let you all know as soon as possible after that whether you have been allocated a spot or not.

Have a gander at some of the merriment from last year.

August Poster

Incomiiiiiiiiing....August poster by our very own  part-time vinyl spinner extraordinaire - Will Walshe. Catch him at the poster stall most months, when he's not flogging records.

So new poster in for July, illustrated by C.A McKenna is very pretty indeed. The view is looking out from inside the Co-op toards the outside stalls. Thank you so much C.A we really love it. If you like her shhhtyle then go check out her other work and illustrations on camck.blogspot.com

This month's new Flea poster was designed by Miki Montllo you can check out other work by this artist at http://miquelmontllo.blogspot.ie/Thank you Miki we think it is great.

This months very pretty poster is by Conor Bryce.  Check out what he is up to at http://www.behance.net/conorbryce

In his own words  "The poster grew from the idea of a brown paper bag being used to hold purchases from The Flea. From there, the tearing away of layers to show examples of what's on offer evolved, with the central sun promising a start to the summer!"

 Thanks so much Conor. We love it and it goes with the brown paper bag of our website!

Fergal's Flea Poster

We find Fergal Brennan to be one of the most unpredictable artists we know, which is why we love him. And his poster.


So many nationalities attend the market, I thought it would be nice to advertise something that grabs a more multicultural attention.
The gradients and colours are robbed from Tanaka Ikko posters. They are fantastic; deceptively simple. Don't google it though.
