Wild Venus

That's the aim, the reality is, I'm probably going to run out of one thing or another. Plus it's an early-ish finish for me today as I'm going out to a gig! Woo!

It's a busy looking October with events from Manchester all the way down to Cheltenham and across to Newcastle.

First up it's this weekend with the - Saturday I've a spot at the beautiful Sheffield Cathedral, then Sunday I shall be visiting the Newcastle Boiler Shop for the first time whilst Eli is heading the stall at Leeds Left bank.

You may notice I still have a couple of weekends free in October so with any luck I'll find a few more worthy markets to bring Wild Venus to. ⭐️

Over thinker! Over planner! Over complicated?

Before most events, I spend a few hours thinking about the layout of my stand and products - however with a floor plan sometimes only sent the day before, it's not always possible to get it all figured out and this weekend I was thrown a real curve ball!

With my usual L shaped turned inside out and back to front in a very tight space, somehow I had one of the best trading days ever!

People were so patient and queuing up to have a smell of all the soaps which were kinda hard to get to in a corner.

I don't deal with unexpected things so well which is why I plan as much as I can.... My van also didn't start in the morning which caused the entire weekend to be thrown up in the air.

But I'm through it now and so grateful to everyone who came by to see me and Wild Venus in Sheffield, Leeds and Nottingham. Soooo many regulars turned up in Leeds to grab their deodorants and cleansers, Nottingham - you were fabulous! The Boho Blooms gift box sold out twice! (Sheffield and Nottingham) And Nottingham you also sold me out of serum and cleanser gift sets!

So a big old thank you from this lady who is having herself a Monday off, brunch in bed, a long bath and a lazy trip to the cinema.

I'll be back next weekend - again in Leeds at the Corn Exchange and hopefully I'll have the camper up and running again to help me get down to Cheltenham on a Sunday.

These little beauties open up to order from tomorrow!
Each reusable aluminium tin comes with 6 different products inside which include
2 x soap samples
a gorgeous lotion bar
a bath melt
a mini deodorant
and a soap saver!

Which one will you go for?
🌸 Boho Blooms
🍊Cosy Bones
🌿 Refresh and Reset or
✨ Midnight Meadow

What to do when you 'accidentally' double book yourself and don't want to let anyone down? Call upon your one and only to give his helping hands!
It's a triple market weekend and I've entrusted Eli with getting to Leeds and back - I think I've traded in Leeds more than anywhere and I'm expecting it to be really busy! So, I know you lovely lot will be kind as always and help him out 😜

I'll be over in Sheffield on Saturday - it's been about 9 months since I was last in Sheffield with Wild Venus and it's at the Cathedral which is just a fantastic venue. Then Sunday for me will be all the way over in Newcastle, it's a bit of a drive so I may be spending the night. There's an amazing Escape Room there which I'd love to do but I definitely don't have the wily-ness needed to break out alone!

I love it when a plan comes together! Here is what I've been secretly working on for months now, and I am so pleased to have the first batch ready as soon as we have our packaging sent over from the printers.
So - here is a sneak peek of inside the gift boxes - well, gift tins really. There's a mega 6 items in each one and I'm so proud of them :) I can't wait to send these out for Christmas prezzies for you all.

You can order via the website www.wildvenus.co.uk from the 1st October
