🎄 My Final Market of the Year – Saturday 30th November, Rufford Village Hall 🎄
10.30am to 3pm • Flash Lane, Rufford L40 1SW

I’ll be setting up my very last market stall of the year here in our beautiful village, and I’m bringing a gorgeous selection of natural, vegan-friendly skincare, artisan soaps, and limited-edition Christmas gift sets — perfect for teachers, friends, stockings, or a little treat for yourself.

✨ What you’ll find on my stall:
• Artisan botanical soaps
• Vegan whipped body butters
• Spa-style shampoo and conditioner bars
• Beautifully boxed Christmas gift trios
• Hand-poured blends for sensitive skin
• Baby-safe, pregnancy-safe and fragrance-free options
• PLUS a few exclusive products you won’t find online

And…
🌙 A Sneak Peek at My Upcoming Two-Part Soapmaking Workshop!
For the first time, I’ll be displaying sample designs from my new workshop launching soon — including the moonlit soap design, colourful swirls, and botanical clay bars you’ve seen me working on.
If you’d like to learn how to make your own cold-process soap from scratch in the new year, you can register your interest at my stall.

This is my last in-person market of the year
and I would love to see you there — even if it’s just to say hello ❤️
