• CHRISTMAS MARKETS 2025 •
I’ve absolutely loved doing Christmas markets this year. Stepping out and finally going at it solo has been a big confidence boost. It’s a lot of hard work — the prep, the long days, the graft — but what’s been particularly special for me this year is the sense of community I've felt at each one.
I’ve received some truly beautiful feedback, especially about my handmade products, and I’m so grateful for that. My stock of gift boxes has completely cleared, making space for fresh ideas and new visions, and honestly… my little head is buzzing about where to take things next. The fire is well and truly in my belly, and I'm so excited about the future of Bark & Bumble.
One of the highlights has been a little product swap with fellow creative and good friend Luke at . I’ve had my eye on this squirrel for a while, and after trading a candle and some bath goodies, he’s finally made it home with me 🐿️
Please go and check out Luke’s work — it’s impeccable, beautifully made, and of course, nature-inspired.
