I was all set this afternoon to do my very first Facebook Live on my Truly Unique page. Everything was ready to go... until I discovered that Facebook has one small requirement – I need 100 followers before I can go live!

So, I'm asking for a little help ... If you haven't already, could you please like and follow my Truly Unique page? Even better, if you could share the page or invite a few friends who enjoy handmade creations, knitting, sewing, or unique gifts, I'd be incredibly grateful.

Once we reach that magic 100 followers, I'll be able to start sharing regular Facebook Lives, including:
🧶 Behind the scenes of my creative process
🧵 Tips, tricks and tutorials
💕 The stories behind my Truly Unique designs
🎁 New products, knitting patterns and plenty more!

Every like, follow and share helps me get one step closer.
Thank you so much for supporting my little business—it truly means the world to me. 💜

Help me to clear some stock from my 'Truly Unique' website.
Big Big Big savings ....

Here's a little clue as to what my week has been like ...
Yep, you guessed it – I've been at home with the dreaded winter flu bug.

I had been planning a trip to Taupō this weekend, back to where I grew up, and I was going to do a Facebook Live to share the story behind my Truly Unique knitting patterns. It seemed like the perfect place to do it, as Taupō is where my love of knitting first began.
Never mind... that can wait until next weekend. ❤

In the meantime, being stuck on the couch with a box of tissues, plenty of lemon drinks, a trusty heat bag and a bit of knitting has given me time to think, plan, and get excited about the future of Truly Unique. I've been looking at new ways to grow the brand and showcase the wide range of products and possibilities it offers.

To kick things off, I've decided it's time for a stock clear-out!
When I sold the shop, I held on to some remaining stock, and it's time for it to find some new homes. So I've now got some heavily reduced stock on the website.

Most of the Ex Shop Stock items on the website have been marked down to well below cost, so if you're looking for a bargain, now's the time to grab one!

Pop onto the website and have a browse, treat yourself, and help me make room for exciting new things to come – www.trulyuniquenz.co.nz

Stay warm everyone, and hopefully I'll be back next weekend to share the story of where it all began. 💕

Lid Grippers were the most popular item at the Te Aroha Country Market today. Fortunately I made more yesterday, so there are still plenty in stock.

Lid Grippers are available in two convenient sizes — Small and Large.

This practical tool is perfect for anyone who struggles to remove lids; opening anything from milk bottles, jam jars, sauce bottles, marmite jars, wine bottles and more. A must have in every furniture painters tool box, to remove the lids on paint pots!!

Simply place the Lid Gripper over the lid and twist; the non-slip surface firmly grips the lid to make unscrewing quick and easy.

Features enhanced grip for reduced effort, safer handling for those with limited strength or dexterity, and a compact, durable design that stores easily in any kitchen draw.

Available on-line … www.trulyuniquenz.co.nz

I'm off to another market .... with lots of my 'Truly Unique' products.

You will find me on Sunday at Te Aroha's Country Market. I have heard lots of great things about this monthly market, so looking forward to getting amongst it all.

Market opens at 9am and is at the Silver Fern Farm Event Centre, Boyd Park, Stanley Avenue, Te Aroha.
