It was another great turn out as the E17 Designers hosted another market as part of the Leytonstone Arts Trail. It was a lovely day and many people were meandering through Leytonstone checking out all of the art and design events on show, stopping off en route through the library to support and pick up a few great handmade pieces.

Here's a few pics when it was a little quiet to show you all of the great items on sale.
