February at 2 duck

January always seems to evaporate in the haze of lazy days at the beach and catch ups with friend and families.  Now we are in February and the world is getting back to normal, kids headed to school and the weekly routines prevail. This means it is time to head back to the markets for the weekly vegetable shops and all the other goodies on offer.

Baskets of the Month

A classic basket is always a hit in every situation. The weekend market, trips to the beach or the pool. The classic short handle basket is the right basket everyday.  Woven with an extra reinforced base and strengthening around the rim. This basket can do the hard work every week. Short but soft handles mean you can load it up without sacrificing comfort.  Pop over to the shop for this or one of our other baskets. https://2ducktrading.com.au/product/classic-market-basket-with-short-handles/

Markets

 Carriageworks Farmer Markets –  We will be at Carriageworks Saturdays 3rd and 17th of February.  Open from 8am to 1pm the market is at top destination for fresh local produce, great food options and of course a 2 duck basket. 17th February we will have a further moving to France sale. So be quick to grab a bargain. Next market 9th March.

December news.

 

Well I won’t pretend it has been an easy start to December  – didn’t plan on getting Covid to slow us down. It was such a disappointment to miss a few markets especially Wahroonga Xmas fair.  However we are on the road to recovery and will be back at the markets this coming weekend. There is still plenty of times to catch up with us until Xmas and the holiday season. For all our events and markets see the info below.

We will be posting baskets online right through the holiday season too.  If the Post office is open then, we will post.

Wholesales

For those who haven’t ordered it is not too late to do so.  We are packing orders most days and do our best to get them out as quickly as we can. Better in your shops than our warehouse.  Don’t delay though as the  delivery cut off times are coming.  If you are not on our list just drop us a line via our contact page https://2ducktrading.com.au/contact-2duck/

April

Incredible that we are almost at Easter and Autumn has well and truly arrived. Sadly, our most favourite Easter market the Burrawang Village Fair had to be cancelled due to the heavy rains making the roads and parking area in the village unusable. We had been so looking forward to this event.  On the very bright side for us, at 2 duck, we will shortly be off  to France and our little house for a much anticipated reunion.

We are away for an extended period and will be back early July.  We hope our new shipment of baskets won’t be too much after us in August. Follow our instagram or facebook page for tidbits of our travels. We have a full unpack of the house after the renovations and mountains of indoors and outdoor jobs to do.

Our online store will be operating while we are away, but we won’t be able to process wholesale orders.

Wholesales

For wholesales and our stockists. We will be attending Life Instyle Melbourne at the end of July.

Baskets of the Month

You can’t beat a classic!  Our classic market basket it just that.  A perfect size for market shopping or a weekend away. The basket has a woven base for additional strength and stability. The thick leather handles are comfy and perfect to pop over the shoulders. What is not to like.  Click to this and other  baskets https://2ducktrading.com.au/product/classic-market-basket-with-thick-long-handles/
