Teacup tuesday- Displays

As well as running the lovely u-ni-k gifts, I run a little market to help me quench my passion for things made with love and care by talented creators. 
It's a way to envelope myself with inspirational people and their wonderful makings. 
The makers inspire me to get home and get my tools out. To be creative and to be crafty.
To have a go and jump in. 

Not only are they creative in their makings, they are also creative in their lovely displays at the markets I run.
An interesting stall or space invites you to come inside and take a peek.
Invites you to stop and peek, and if allowed to touch and investigate.
It should give an impression of how to use the product and be styled in a simple aesthetic way that makes the products shine.
Here are a few inspirational displays that i LOVE and aspire to. 



Here are a few of the market stallholders wonderful displays too!

Feel free to share your wonderful displays. I would love to love them too and PIN them to share what you do!!
Lets inspire each other !

Teacup tuesday- Did you know...?

You know that Sarah and I like to keep ourselves busy!
Yes crazy mummies we are! If being Mummy to crazy toddlers as well as running a successful baby gift website wasn't enough!?

Sarah also runs a lovely photography business called Sarah Davies photography. Her sensitive captured moments are beautiful and sweet. She captures a pause, a trot and a pose perfectly. She see's what most of us blink away. She runs off and clicks, she patiently waits and clicks and most of the time clicks away while the rest of her followers and group are unaware of her clicks. 
Go and take a peek her shots are beautiful!

I have just taken over running a little market called Independent Markets. The first one is next Saturday at Godalming and I invite you all to samples the delights of the stalls I have chosen.
