🐾 DOG LOVERS — THIS ONE’S FOR YOU! 🐾

Ever wondered how much of your dog’s health actually starts in their gut?

We’re excited to welcome Kim from PAWS Pet Aromatherapy & Wellness Specialist to Make & Mend for a fascinating morning exploring:

🐶 Dog Nutrition, Gut Microbiome & TCM Through Food

This talk is all about looking at your dog’s health from the inside out — exploring how real whole foods, a healthy gut and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles can support their overall wellbeing.

🌿 YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT:

🥩 The power of real, species-appropriate foods for your dog
🦠 How the gut microbiome can influence immunity, mood, skin, allergies and overall wellbeing
☯️ TCM food energetics and the idea of balancing hot, warm, cool and cold foods
🥕 Practical food choices and simple changes you can start making at home

If you’re already curious about natural approaches to your dog’s wellbeing — or you've simply wondered whether there is more you could be doing through their everyday food — this will be a really interesting morning.

📅 Saturday 12 September
⏰ 10.30am -12pm
📍 Make & Mend Agnes Water
6/43 Bicentennial Drive, Agnes Water

💰 $45 per person
💛 $40 for Make & Mend Members

💛 WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM OUR COMMUNITY! 💛

After two wonderful years of Make & Mend, we've recently been given a little reason to stop and reflect on just how far this little space has come.

We were incredibly excited to learn that Make & Mend has been selected in the Top 25 for the Best in Business Awards – Retail category! 🎉

As part of the process, we've been asked to reflect on the experience we provide our customers and community — and we thought, who better to ask than you?

If you've ever shopped with us, attended a workshop, become a member, joined one of our community events, experienced our workshops at the 1770 Festival, bought a locally handmade gift or simply wandered through our doors...

We'd genuinely love to hear what Make & Mend means to you. 💛

Tell us:

🌿 What do you value most about having Make & Mend in our community?

🎨 Is there an experience you've had with us that particularly stands out?

💡 What would you love to see us offer or do more of in the future?

You can simply leave a comment below or send us a private message if you'd prefer.

⭐ And if you've had a great experience with Make & Mend and would like to support our little business in another way, we'd be incredibly grateful if you left us a Google Review here:

👉 https://g.page/r/CVxFvpiA_5xUEBM/review

The good, the constructive and the new ideas are all welcome. Your feedback genuinely helps us understand what's working and where Make & Mend should head next.

From what started as a little handmade shop two years ago, we're slowly discovering that Make & Mend means different things to different people.

So rather than us defining what this space means to Agnes Water...

we'd love to hear it from you. 💛

Thank you for being part of our journey.

🎉✨ WE MADE THE TOP 25! ✨🎉

We are so incredibly excited to share that Make & Mend Agnes Water has been named a Top 25 Finalist in the Retail & Sales category of the Best in Business Awards 2026 hosted by Gladstone Chamber of Commerce & Industry ! 💛

WOW. What a beautiful way to celebrate our second year! 🥹

Firstly, to the wonderful person who took the time to nominate Make & Mend — THANK YOU. To know that someone in our community believed what we're doing was worthy of recognition means more to us than you probably realise.

And to every single person who has supported us over these past two years — our customers, members, creators, workshop facilitators, community organisations, visitors, friends and all those who have shared our posts, recommended us or simply walked through our doors — this recognition belongs to all of you too.

Make & Mend started with a simple idea: to create a space where local makers could be seen, creativity could be shared, skills could be passed on and our community could come together.

Along the way, we've learnt that we're building something much bigger than a shop.

We've become a place to make, mend, learn, create, connect and belong. 🌿

There have certainly been challenging days. There have been quiet weeks, moments of uncertainty and plenty of times when we've had to think outside the box and find another way forward.

But we've kept going.

We've kept creating.

And most importantly, we've kept believing in what this little space can become.

Being recognised amongst the Top 25 in Retail reminds us that success isn't always measured simply by what's in the till at the end of the day. Sometimes it's measured by the community you build, the opportunities you create and the people you bring together along the way. 💛

So today, we're taking a moment to celebrate this little win — and then we'll keep doing what we do best.

Creating. Connecting. Supporting local. And seeing where this wonderful journey takes us next.

Thank you, Agnes Water & the wider Gladstone Region, for continuing to believe in Make & Mend. 🌿

Here's to the next chapter! 🥂✨

🎉💛 MAKE & MEND TURNS TWO TODAY! 💛🎉

Two years ago today, we opened the doors to Make & Mend with a little idea, a lot of hope, and a vision to create a space where our local makers, artists and community could come together.

And WOW… what a journey these two years have been! 🥹

From the beautiful handmade creations that fill our shelves, to workshops, community nights, collaborations, markets and festivals… to receiving our very first arts grant and watching Make & Mend slowly grow into something so much more than just a little shop.

We have become a place to create, learn, mend, share, connect and belong. 🌿

And none of it would have happened without YOU.

To every creator who trusted us with your work, every customer who chose handmade, every workshop facilitator who shared their knowledge, every person who walked through our doors, told a friend about us, shared a post, attended an event or simply cheered us on…

THANK YOU. 💛

And because birthdays should come with presents… we're giving one back to our community! 🎁
