If you’re a small business that sells products at markets, I’ve put together a list of some helpful things I’ve learned along the way. If you have any more tips to add, let me know!

We aren’t a traditional market, or a local craft fair or art exhibition… we are different. We are small business supporting small businesses! We want to change the way people shop & explore all the indie makers that exist right on our doorstep. We had over 40 makers, artists, designers and small businesses take part last weekend and I can’t wait until the next event. So much small business success is determined by the people you surround yourself with. I’m so fortunate to have such amazing craftspeople as part of Folk & Bespoke, who bring heaps of positivity to my events! I’m constantly inspired by your passion, drive and creativity and it’s so lovely getting to know each and every one of you. Here’s how our events have unfolded so far.

Found within some of my scented candles, and other types of skincare and body-care products, here’s some tips and ideas of power products to sort you out!

Autumn is such a beautiful, romantic time of year. Most of us have very clear ideas about what should fill those long fall days. What does autumn look and feel like to you?

Taking a mindful approach to gift giving is less about the gifts themselves and more about the thought behind them. It is about bringing thought and care to what we are giving, to the person we are giving to, and to the act of giving itself. When it comes to gifting, this might look like shopping locally or it could mean gifting a virtual service. It could look like gifting generously financially or it could mean offering our love, attentiveness, or service.
