I've decided to opt out of any last minute markets I've decided to opt out of any last minute markets and I'm now enjoying time with friends and family - sending strength and good vibes to all my small business buddies still hustling this weekend ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿพ

But I'm already planning for 2026 and may have already started on some new upcycled denim pieces ๐Ÿคญ

Put February 2026 in the diary for the next collection drop ๐Ÿ˜Š

(Also this post is just an excuse to use this fantastic picture of @ange_lyons and @dominiquetamarawrites in some of my designs ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿฅฐ)

THANK YOU ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ As I prepare to wind down for Christ THANK YOU ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

As I prepare to wind down for Christmas (think school nativities and lots of mince pies ๐Ÿคญ), thank you to all those who shopped with me, or even just stopped to chat while admiring my work.

Don't forget you can pick up last minute gifts from my studio at @leytongreengallery - just drop me a line.

I also have a few Christmas wreaths left which I will post in my stories.

It's the final hurdle for me this week with Christ It's the final hurdle for me this week with Christmas markets and I'm so happy to wrap up the season on Sunday with @urbanmakers_uk in Mile End, especially as they're celebrating TEN YEARS in business ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅณ

I also love this venue as it's close to home and I get to see so many familiar faces โ˜บ๏ธ

This green print has been getting ALOT of love recently, so expect it to take pride of place on my stall on Sunday โœจ๏ธ
