The Handmade Canberra market is an event which happens 4 times each year and it sells jewellery, clothes, pet treats, foods, stationery, toys, garden sculptures and more! The large market is located in the Budawang Pavilion, Conference Centre and Coorong Pavilion at the EPIC (Exhibition Park in Canberra). It generally attracts about 20, 000 visitors over two days.
It is an enjoyable way to spend the day as you walk through the stalls (摊位) enjoying the creativity of the talented (有才能的) people of Canberra and other parts of Australia. The event has free parking and entry (入场) only costs you a small donation (捐赠) to a local organization for helping the needy. If you get hungry after all the shopping, there are a number of delicious food choices in the Coorong Pavilion to choose from, as well as areas to sit and rest your feet.
When the market first began in 2008, the organizer, Julie Nichols, started with 34 stalls — this has now increased to over 290 stalls at each event. Julie Nichols has won several awards (奖) for business, design and tourism because of the success of the market. Handmade Canberra celebrated its 10th birthday in 2018 and it has been a popular event with locals and visitors every year.

How to Keep a Relationship Healthy and Strong
Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well, let me give you advice on having a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.
Make sure you give them respect. Now respect isn’t just simply treating her or him nicely. There’s a lot more to it. You have to learn to adjust to their liking.
Make sure the communication is good. This goes along with trust, but always communicates how you feel, even if it’s something that upsets you. Instead of screaming, talk to them.
A.Be an honest person with them. |
B.Show them your personality. |
C.Laughter keeps the relationship strong and lasting. |
D.Make sure you are encouraging to your partner. |
E.Don’t start to neglect them and make them feel unwanted. |
F.Basically, learn to study your partners’ moods, wants and needs. |
G.If they did something that made you unhappy, tell them about it in a respectful manner. |
How frequently do the words “I don’t have time” pass your lips (嘴唇)? Quite often, I guess. Every time you say “I don’t have time”, it makes you feel weak and out of control.
People tell me how they have no time to read or travel when they “have the time”. Well, the time is now, my friend.
The solution: Put it on your calendar! You’ve got to schedule it.
Realize what wastes your time.
Do you spend an hour or two looking through Facebook every day? Are you spending time with people that you don’t really like just to please them?
Are there meetings that you can politely refuse? It’s time to get real about the hours that add up to a whole lot of dissatisfying nothing.
Change your language.
“I choose not to start that project until next year.”
“I’d love to read that book — I’ll get to it after my homework is finished!”
A.Words matter |
B.Make a schedule |
C.We are all busy each day |
D.Replace them with things that satisfy you |
E.The truth is that you are in control of your time |
F.But like planning for a nice meal or a job interview |
