🍂🎄 There were definitely TWO sides to my market stall on Wednesday! 😂

Now don’t get me wrong… I KNOW it’s early for Christmas! 🎅🏼😂 But after getting super busy with my Christmas planters last year, I wanted to get ahead this time, showcase a few designs and officially open my Christmas pre-orders! 🎄✨

But it turns out you lot are very much still in your AUTUMN ERA 🍂🎃 because the autumn goodies were flying off the shelves! 😍

So it looks like I’ll be back in the workshop, surrounded by pumpkins and autumn colours, getting stocked back up for my next craft fayre at the end of the month! 🍁🤎

And in the meantime… if you’re one of those people who IS already thinking about Christmas 👀🎄 my pre-orders are OPEN! 😂

Apparently at Blooming Bonds we’re currently somewhere between pumpkin spice and Christmas lights… and I’m absolutely here for it! 🎃🎄😂

🍂🌧️ Bathgate Autumn Market Night 🌧️🍂

Was it a bit of a washout? Yes! 😂 But we live in Scotland… what can we expect?! ☔️

It’s hard when you’ve spent so much time preparing and the weather is against you, but sometimes you have to look at the positives — and one of the biggest for me is the amazing community and networking that comes with these markets. 🤎

I got chatting to another trader who was doing his very first market. We were talking about taking payments and he mentioned he didn’t have a card machine, so I told him, “If anyone wants to pay by card, just send them over to me. I’ll take the payment and give you the cash.”

And I’m so glad I did because he ended up having quite a few customers pay that way and would have potentially missed out on those sales otherwise! 🥹

At the end of the night, he surprised me with this gorgeous handmade vase and flower as a thank you. 🌸 Honestly, he didn’t need to give me anything, but it was such a lovely gesture and a perfect reminder of why I love the small-business community.

That community feel is something I really want Blooming Bonds to be about. I’ll help someone out where I can, I’ll keep my prices as affordable as I possibly can, and I’ll always support other small businesses along the way. 🤎

So maybe the weather wasn’t on our side… but there were definitely still some lovely moments amongst the rain. ☔️🍂

Small businesses supporting small businesses — that’s what it’s all about. 🫶

& a huge thank you to everyone who stopped for a chat and purchased anything 🍂💜

🍂🎃 THE BER MONTHS ARE ALMOST HERE!! 🎃🍂

Okay, I need to know… on a scale of 1–10, how excited are you for the BER months?! 🤎

And another important question… 😂👇

On a scale of 1–10 for autumn decorating, with THIS wreath being a full 10 🎃🍁… where are you sitting?

1️⃣ = maybe a little pumpkin somewhere
5️⃣ = a few cosy autumn touches
🔟 = GIVE ME ALL THE PUMPKINS, LEAVES & AUTUMN EVERYTHING! 😂🍂

I absolutely LOVE making the bigger statement wreaths, so I'm wondering… should I make a few LARGE autumn wreaths this year?! 👀🎃

Let me know below — I might just be persuaded! 😂🍁🤎

🤍 A little Blooming Bonds first… 🤍

This is my first ever attempt at creating a cross funeral tribute, and while I know it’s not perfect, I’m actually really proud of how it turned out for my first try. 🕊️🌿

Funeral and memorial pieces are always created with that little bit of extra care, knowing just how much meaning they hold for the families receiving them. 🤍

I’m always learning, practising and trying new things, and I’m looking forward to creating more pieces like this and continuing to improve. 🌸

Side note: The AI tag is only there because I changed the background from the reality of my very messy workshop 😂 to grass — the tribute itself is completely handmade by me. 🤍

What do you think for my first attempt? 🕊️
