A bit quiet on the market front this month, but so nice to get the chance to take some time off and go celebrate a family wedding!

Thanks to everyone that visited us at the Otane Village Artisan Market last Sunday ... what a superb day it was! We appreciated the support, and getting to say "hi" to many new faces and have pats and chats with some gorgeous pups!

This weekend will find us at Relay for Life (details below) from 2pm until late ... don't be shy, come on down and browse amongst the stallholders and support those taking part in the Relay.

It was a crisp but beautiful drive to Otane this morning for the Otane Village Artisan Market - just off the beaten track.

With stallholders inside and out, there is plenty to see, along with coffee and food trucks. A gorgeous day to be out and about - pop on down and say hi!

You can find us inside the hall, with live music playing just outside the doors.

Our "Cuddle-bug Carrot and Peanut Butter" is SOLD OUT, and one bag of "Pampered-Pooch Peanut Butter" left, but still other flavours available (or we can make to order for you), so come on down!

When you are a local small business, it is sometimes quite daunting - there is just so much to think about, consider and then second guess yourself on!

So today I am attending an education afternoon organized by Otane Village Artisan Market - just off the beaten track around marketing and brands, and am very excited to expand my knowledge!

Come on down tomorrow and join us for the birthday celebrations!

And if you're a dog mumma, buy some treats for your pups and get a wee treat for yourself free! (while stocks last)
