Soap by far sells the best | |

How did it all begin? | |
One YouTube video got me hooked on the creativity of soap making. This developed in creating my own recipes, designs + styles. Customer feed back had me expanding to liquid wash, more scrubs, soaks + of course the new + very popular Mimoso range ‘Soosi Collection’ which are kosher natural soy wood wick candles + melts. | |
What do you like most about being a stallholder? | |
The people! The atmosphere from other stall holders, the excitement from customers + finding their favourite scents. Stallholder families are great, passing on customers to help find what they’re looking for. | |
What do you like least about being a stallholder? | |
Being rained out. It’s disappointing for my customers who were excited to be coming + feels like I missed out on the party. | |
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? | |
I see myself in 5 years with a humble shopfront, offering some space for other creative hearts + their great work. Also contributing more to health care packs for the homeless (Golden Hearts Initiative). | |
What one piece of advice would you give to a new stallholder? | |
There’s plenty of business for everyone! Be encouraging+helpful to others + take compliments (or constructive criticism too). Enjoy your products + keep your standard. If it’s worth it, people will buy it. | |
Any funny stories to share about your time as a stallholder? | |
Recently, having been rained out completely in Parramatta. We were so soaked from setup + packup that we couldn’t help but laugh + jump in puddles like uncontrollable kids. Was a lot of fun even though we had to shut up shop early. | |
