We won!! 🥇

I still can’t quite believe it – we won the Young Traders Market in Bury St Edmunds! 🙌

What an amazing day it was. The sun was out, the market was buzzing, and I got to chat with so many lovely people about my clothing and jewellery – and to top it all off, the judges picked my stall as the winner. Honestly, I’m still in shock (the happy kind!).

If you’ve followed my journey, you’ll know this all started with a love for beautiful clothing and jewellery I’ve poured so much time, heart, and late-night hustle into building this little brand, and to be recognised like this – especially among so many other talented young traders – feels surreal.

The Market Vibes

Bury St Edmunds was full of energy on the day. Stalls lined the streets with everything from art and food to fashion and homeware – so much creativity in one place! It was such a great chance to meet other young business owners, swap stories, and get inspired.

And honestly? Winning was just the cherry on top. The real highlight was connecting with customers and seeing people light up when they found something they loved at my stall. That’s what it’s all about.

So… What’s Next?

Because of the win, I’ll be heading to the regional finals later this year – which is both exciting and terrifying in the best way. I’ll be bringing even more pieces, new designs, and hopefully an even better setup. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to see where it all leads.

A Massive Thank You 💛

To everyone who came by the stall, supported me, made a purchase, or just had a chat – thank you. Your kind words and good vibes mean more than you know. And to my fellow young traders – you’re all amazing!

Keep an eye out for what’s coming next – and if you see me at a market soon, come say hi!

With love,
