🌷 Celebrating 7 Years of Monarch Giftware 🌟
This Sunday, we’re marking a special milestone at the Ballarat SpringFest as Monarch Giftware turns 7! 🎉 From our humble beginnings as Bunny Rug Bug, we’ve come a long way since our first main stall at this very event in 2016, and we’re thrilled to be back where it all began.

This anniversary, however, holds a bittersweet touch as it also marks the 4th year since the passing of owner Sarah Suttie’s mother, Jillian, who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2019. 💔 Despite the sorrow, we choose to honour Jillian’s memory by celebrating life and the growth of Monarch Giftware.

Join us at the Ballarat Gardens precinct from Sunday 10 am to 4 pm for a day filled with joy, gratitude, and beautiful creations. 🌸 And that’s not all! We’ll also be spreading the festive spirit at the Christmas market at St Anne’s Winery Bendigo Saturday, ensuring the weekend is filled with love and laughter.

If you can’t make it to the events, don’t worry! Our pop-up shop at Stockland Wendouree will be open throughout the weekend, so you can still snag some unique gifts and celebrate with us in spirit.

Thank you for being part of our journey over the past seven years. Here’s to many more years of creativity, passion, and memories. See you at the festivities! 🎂🎁
