SHOW LOVE - SHOP SMALL
You all are aware that I am a massive supporter of Small Independent Businesses. You know the ones, the original idea hatchers, the bakers and shakers, the work into the midnight makers.
You also may know I’m a MASSIVE fan of Holly Tucker. Holly Tucker founded Not On The High Street and had amazing success. She is now the UK Small Business Ambassador and has a passionate army of Small Businesses behind her flying their flags! Cue ‘me!’
This Summer is set to be a tricky tricky time for small independents as everyone (the consumer) seems to be watching their spend, using pennies for holidays and struggling with the rising cost of living. Our hope is that if you do need to buy a gift, cake, card, that you first of all look to your local community. And in the Scottish Borders you won’t find this a difficult task, as there is an abundance of creative talent who make or provide excellent service, and certainly in Galashiels alone, there are over 20 independent bakers!
My customers (yes you!) have been my best ever gift. You support me through the times I need you and I hope in return I bring you a little bit of colour, advice or joy. So, to celebrate you (and I), today, I am offering a ‘lucky dip’ giveaway for my next 20 online customers. Simply spend over £25 then along with your gift, you will receive a little surprise from me. This could be a kids design, a voucher, a keyring, or some earrings! I’ve bundled up 20 pieces from my collection, as a little treat. All you have to do is order from me - and if you are in the top twenty - you will get a little happy treat! You will know when your parcel arrives, you will have a little sticker on the front! I just need you to tag your box and do a little reveal picture for me on socials (if you can).
BE IN IT TO WIN IT….

THE HEARTLAND MARKET
Myself and two other small business owners have created a space for creatives to shine and we host a monthly market to showcase our homegrown talent. It’s called The Heartland Market if you wanna go check it out! Whether you are a local maker, or interested in our line up of talent.
You probably haven’t missed this if you have been following me. We have been blown away by the success of this local market and have brought energy to an abandoned street! Putting the pennies back into our own pavements!
THANK YOU
Thanks so much for reading and supporting. You can further support me by following @thecolourfuledit, liking, sharing, commenting and saving my content as well as doing the same for @galashiels_theheartlandmarket and supporting all our fabby makers too.
WORD’S FROM HOLLY!
We’re making this the summer of small business love – and we need your help to spread the message. We want to encourage the nation to show heart by shopping small, asking everyone to think how they could change their usual spending behaviour to support our independents – but we need your help!
