We cant believe it… it’s going to be our 100TH MARKET this Saturday 🤩 Wow! That’s a whole lot of market days, lugging gazebos, getting stock ready snd meeting customers.

Look at how far we’ve come… Our very first market back in March 2024 was at Cinnamon Brow in Warrington, we were armed with with back garden gazebo 🤣, 12 products and a bum bag (yes Paul quickly got rid of that).

Today, we’ve got 40+ products and counting, lots of signage, a rebrand of our labels and (thankfully) a proper money box 🤣🙏

We’ve come a long way, met some amazing traders who have become friends - shout out to @theintolerantkitchen_ @atlasandmolly @prestonseggnog @hiveandhoney.co.uk @apothecaryofflames @benandcocoa @cutchcompany @cheshirewildvenison @thecolemenmcr @daddycoolspeppersauce @daisy_daisycreations @adamsandrussell @hearthhoneybakery ❤️ just to name a few!

And to our customers, especially our returning customers who come back to our stall because they follow our journey (and check our events page). Thank you SO MUCH for your support since the beginning.

If you’re around for our 100th market @yourwillaston Willaston Farmers Market (launch), please come and say hi 👋 If you say ‘Happy 100th Market’ we might just give you a cheeky FREE spice* with your purchase 🫶

* t&cs apply - must purchase from our stall 🤩

Thank you again for your support ✨

Still absolutely buzzing about meeting @the.happy.picker on Tuesday! Been chatting and watching his videos for ages and he's such a legend of a guy. So nice to chat to and he feels like a friend already ❤️ and "my crew" got to meet him too 😍

3rd picture is because apparently I look like the kid from up according to @matthew_baker27

Absolutely chuffed with this sterling silver seaham sea glass bracelet I made at the weekend with my amazing friend @steveerhardt from the amazing business @benandcocoa

I am so truly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. Sometimes life can beat you down but I am trying to practice gratitude every day!

Look out for more updates along my silversmithing journey

Just wanted to give a shoutout to the amazing @benandcocoa for our memorial jewellery. It's never easy losing someone, but @benandcocoa were so sensitive in talking us through various pieces of jewellery to keep our ashes preserved in a way that they can be close by regularly.

I was absolutely astounded by how reasonable the pricing was too as we had looked at many various options before seeking out @benandcocoa through a recommendation and the other prices we were finding really did feel like some businesses could be capitalising on an already upsetting time.

Please do check them out. They are so talented and just all over wonderful 💕 They don't just exclusively do memorial ashes jewellery, their craftsmanship extends to gorgeous bespoke pieces

Thank you @benandcocoa 😊
