Get crafty in isolation with Finders Keepers At Home

Ordinarily, strolling from stall to stall at the Finders Keepers market with a coffee in one hand and baked goods in the other is a leisurely pursuit that we look forward to with anticipation. These times, however, are far from ordinary. Rather than sit at home and cry into their (probably homemade) pillows, the crafty folk behind the much-loved design market have done what they do best and got a little creative to bring you Finders Keepers At Home. If you still have a calendar (optimism, we love to see it!) go ahead and book out June 19 to 21 because you won't want to miss a minute. more
