What an afternoon 🥹
My very first Peeka Jewellery workshop is officially done, and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a lovelier one.
I’ve loved seeing everyone create something completely their own. There was SO much variety in what you all made, and I left feeling genuinely inspired by all of your gorgeous makes, creativity and ideas. Thank you for bringing so much enthusiasm, personality and your own vision to the afternoon 🫶🏻
And a huge thank you to Christpies Bakes for having me 🩷
There’s a little story behind why hosting my first workshop here felt particularly special…
Just over four years ago, when I was heavily pregnant and our house was half falling down, we got let down by a plumber. The builder working on our house managed to rope in a plumber he knew to save the day and, thankfully, get us at least some functioning plumbing before the baby arrived 😵💫
Along with being the best tradesperson we could have hoped for, one day he turned up with a box of Chrispies bakes 🤤
It turned out his partner, Christie, was an incredible baker with a baking business, selling at local foodie markets. I remember sending my team a picture of these ridiculous-looking cookies and brownies.
We might not have had a functioning kitchen, and our house may have been absolute chaos, but we DID have some very delicious sweet treats to get us through 😆
(Thankfully, we got a kitchen AND functioning plumbing just before the baby arrived! 🐣)
Since then, Chrispies has been our absolute favourite for cookies and brownies, and we’ve loved watching Christie’s business go from strength to strength - from still selling out local markets to her own constantly packed out shop - all while also being a brilliant champion of so many other small local businesses along the way.
So, with less than a week until I take Peeka Jewellery full time, I genuinely couldn’t be prouder or more grateful to have hosted my very first workshop at Chrispies🥹
A little full-circle moment that means a lot 🩷
Thank you to everyone who came, created, laughed, chatted, drank, snacked and made the afternoon so special.
Thank you to my lovely and always super supportive friend Asha to giving
