Milly Molly Mandy Handmade

Milly Molly Mandy Designs
With a gorgeous handmade range like this!
The products at Milly Molly Mandy are all designed, cut and handmade by Shannon and you can sense the real innocence in the eyes of the soft toys – something that engages with customers instantly. The stall layout is relaxed and inviting, with soft tones and products displayed like they are arranged in a child’s bedroom.  I could feel the quality of the fabric and the balance of the stuffing – and it is no accident that these toys are sold as heirloom quality.
Every stallholder I meet at the markets has her own story, and Shannon Marshall shares her personal journey touching on her creative evolution as a #handmade #artisan to balancing motherhood and a thriving home business.

Your Future Self Exercise What is the Future Self? Your Future Self is the person you become as a result of the choices, decisions and random acts of life that occur from this point forward.   You evolve and grow and are shaped by the events of your life, and the you in 20 years is not the same as what you imagine you might be, sitting here at this moment. "Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they're finished." Dan Gilbert shares recent research on a phenomenon he calls the "end of history illusion," where we somehow imagine that the person we are right now is the person we'll be for the rest of time. Hint: that's not the case. The Future Self Visualisation This  Future Self Visualization  is based on a the actual hypnotherapy script I use for real one to one personal coaching sessions.  It's a powerful awareness raising exercise and brings to light the impact our current life choices (and lack of clarity and p...

Stallholders Help Getting Found Online

  Stallholders at Australian Markets Invited To Join our Directory!   W elcome to the world of being a stallholder at a Local Australian Marke t! Local Markets have taken off over the past decade as people like you seek to make a meaningful connection with place, process and product.

Going to the markets offers you the opportunity to connect with the producer of the item, and buying from the markets acts directly in supporting the stallholder to continue her handmade work. W hat's more - you can interact directly with manufacturer or artist and perhaps order a custo...

Handmade Cake Stands using upcycled plates and saucers This could be the start of something beautiful - or it could be a confusing mess - so let people know who you are as succinctly and to the point as possible. Here's some suggestions from findhandmade.com.au Be Honest about Yourself In the handmade sector people love quirky- right?

So be yourself and just tell your story – chances are what you do will be quite distinctive and set you apart from even the closest competitor in your niche. Be a bit generic about some specifics so they can't totally stalk your whole previous life, but don't overly dress it up. Your story is original, unique and authentic just by being yours. Keep it Simple We're all proud of some achievements – but keeping it short and to the point is what we are all about here. Mention the keywords of w...
