It seems like everyone has a crafty hobby around here. There are small, personal farms scattered around the countryside, small speciality shops selling handmade goods and every year in August Martigny holds an Artisan Market. The older part of town gets blocked off to stop cars driving through and stalls are set up where locals can sell their wears, whether it be food, whittled wooden sculptures or handmade clothing, there's something to impress just about anyone.
The thought of buying something locally made was quite exciting since we were about to move into our very own apartment and what better way to make it feel homely than to decorate it with a special little token of a small town in Switzerland. Poring my way through the many stalls, I realised that handmade, speciality items come with a special price tag too so sadly I didn't get my token to put in our new apartment but I did enjoy wandering through the stalls and dreaming about how all of the nice things that would look good on our shelves at home.
