Announcement 📢
CLOSING DOWN SALE.
My last ever market will be this Friday 6th of December; 5pm - 7pm at the Laneway on Woongarra.
EVERYTHING WILL BE REDUCED - 50% OFF!
Been doing my clay biz for 2.5 years now and the time has come to close my business down.
So many reasons
● Lack of time to create, especially working for the last 14 months.
● Lack of time also means lack of time to improve and learn new skills.
● My love of markets has waned. Love is a must have as so much efforts goes into every single market.
● Earrings are a saturated market and cheap ones easily accessible from kmart etc.
● Sales have dramatically dropped. People have less disposable income.
● I want to spend more time with my son. He is growing so quickly. In a brief couple of years he'll be working a job around school and hanging with mates more and more.
● Claim space back in our small office/house.
● Claim space in our shed.
● Slow down and enjoy life.
I am so grateful 🙏 to EVERY single person who has ever bought a pair of earrings from me. EVERY sale made me happy dance and I felt so proud.
I thank you so much for telling friends, family or coworkers about me.
Thank you to eveyone who liked, commented or shared my posts. Social media is incredibly hard. I appreciated the help in getting my name and creations out there.
Thank you to all my amazing stockists over the years. Past and present.

Thank you to my children Tayla, Bella and Curtis for gifting me with my first polymer clay earring kit that got me hooked on creating own earrings.
* Tayla thank you for your support. Always encouraging me, seeing my worth in my work even when I couldn't. For helping me set up and stay for the long festival market days. Dropping me off dinner to a market. Helping me package and price stock when stressed and running out of time.
* Bella thank you for creating with me in the early days. You were so creative and made your designs with such ease and grace. Thanks for helping at the long festival days also.
Also huge thank you for designing both my logos, business cards and banner. I loved them 🌿💚.
* Curtis thank you for helping me create earrings. Such fond memories of us making together in the office. Many laughs and special moments. Thank you for helping me attend soooo many markets. You always offered to come and help me. You were always there to help set up, pack up and keep my stall tidy. Great company too.
* Callan for always being supportive of my crazy ideas. For having boxes of earrings and market props under our bed and in your shed.
I have met some lovely people over the time selling at markets.
Customer highlights for me have been: Kirsten Lewis, Kylie Lane, Halina Nettelfield & Julia Miller. Thank you to so many repeat customers also.
Stall Holder friends have been: Hannah Ann Wihongi (was a fellow clay earring designer) who was so beautiful to me and never treated me as a rival. Karen from Dotti Devine and I ended up stocking her amazing headbands.
Also Karly from Bluegum Road who was always so lovely to me. Ash at Craftedby.Ash thank you for making my earring boards and also I'll continue buying your amazing earrings.
Thank you to anyone who ever placed a custom order with me. They were always such fun.
Trish Wyatt for asking me to create her 80 x teal warrior shields for her amazing tribe and book launch 🛡 💖 . I ended up being a guest speaker at her book launch. Had to grow and stretch myself doing that.
So please come and grab some Christmas Gifts or treat yourself to 50% OFF this Friday. Plus come and say bye to Ivy Willows Clay.
