See you there.

To our wonderful stallholders I wish to say from the bottom of my heart a huge THANK YOU for the wonderful, thoughtful gift that you all contributed to.

It has been an absolute pleasure to have been part of the team for nearly 18 years, running this wonderful, vital community institution that is still going strong 50 years down the track.

I look forward to seeing you on the otherside 😉 If you didn't know I will be joining you as a stallholder - we are downsizing so will be a having a massive clear out and what better place to help rid me of it.

Plus I need somewhere to wear all my frocks 🤣

Thanks for the fun, the laughter, and sometimes some tears.

Big loves
Jill

Miwa will be back with us again this week with hand crafted bamboo brooches.

These are honestly absolutely exquisite!

Here's a bit of history about this amazing craft.

"Honma Craft is a family-run bamboo art studio based on Sado Island, Japan. For over 100 years, the studio has continuously passed down traditional bamboo craftsmanship, evolving from functional objects into contemporary bamboo art.

Deeply shaped by the nature and cultural history of Sado Island, Honma Craft represents the enduring spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.

Every accessory is handcrafted under the guidance of Honma Craft’s master artists, showcasing bamboo’s natural beauty and timeless elegance."

Perfect Christmas gift idea 😉
