Finally uploading the pics from the last market I attended – Bangor Elim Church Craft Fair on the 29th April, thank you again to everyone who came along and to those who purchased from me! 😁

Thank you again to my mum for being my market-buddy! 😁💖
Photos from the St. Joseph’s Christmas market I attended last Saturday, I had a lovely time meeting all the really friendly people there and being in the festive spirit! Once again, thank you to everyone who came out and to the customers who purchased from me, it’s much appreciated! 😁
Think this’ll be the last market now before Xmas & New Years so I’ll post in again about any upcoming markets I’ll have in 2023 once I’ve got them scheduled, but for the time being I intend to work on some behind the scenes pieces (for next year) and focus on some family time during the holidays 🎄✨
Also stay tuned for a look at the last Lino prints I managed to create before the end of this year - I’ll have photo & video posts of them uploaded soon! 😊

A couple of weeks ago I attended my first market as a stall holder, at the Creative’s Collective Market at The Mac, and I found it to be a really insightful experience.
I learnt a lot and found everyone to be really friendly and welcoming, thank you to everyone who visited my table and to those who purchased from me too.
Big thank you to my Mum for accompanying me and being that bit of extra support on the day, along with helping with the market prep before too! 💖
Also, thank you to Lauren and Maja for organising the Creative’s Collective Market and letting me be a part of this event! 😁
