Troody Scrumptious Takes the Plunge with Workshops! Huge congratulations to Sarah T., the mastermind behind @troody_scrumptious, for absolutely smashing her first-ever workshops! Sarah dove headfirst into the world of workshops, welcoming a whopping 15 participants in each of her three classes throughout the day. Armed with encouragement and a healthy dose of self-challenge, Sarah did an amazing job and look at those happy faces! Here's what Sarah had to say: "I'm so proud of myself! I had so much anxiety over today's workshops, but everyone left happy, and a review saying my workshop was the best part of their day made me cry the biggest happy tears. I never thought I could do one workshop to a small group, but throwing myself in at the deep end with 45 people over 3 classes? Wow!" Congratulations again, Sarah! We can't wait to see your future workshop bookings on Mayfli. Keep an eye out for them, everyone! #TroodyScrumptious #Mayfli #Workshops #SmallBusinessSuccess #CommunitySupport #HappyCustomers #ProudMoment

Shop Independent This Weekend! This weekend, let's make a difference by supporting our incredible independent businesses. 🛍️ Here's why shopping small is a BIG deal: Boosts the Economy 💰 Every pound spent at a local business stays within your community, helping to create jobs and stimulate local growth. It’s like giving your economy a high-five! 🙌 Strengthens the Community ❤️ When you shop local, you’re not just buying products; you’re investing in your neighbours. Independent businesses bring character and unique flavour to your high streets, fostering a vibrant and connected community.

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, let's celebrate the local businesses that are the backbone of our UK communities! From bustling farmers' markets and charming independent stores to your friendly neighbour selling crafts online, these ventures provide more than just fantastic products. The sunshine this weekend was a mood-lifter, and seeing everyone connecting at local shops and markets was fantastic. Strong social connections are vital for good mental health, and these businesses often become hubs for friendly conversation and a sense of belonging. Let's support them year-round! They're the heart and soul of our communities, and by shopping local, we not only boost our own spirits but also strengthen the bonds that keep us connected. #ShopLocal #MentalHealthMatters #CommunityLove #SupportYourHighStreet

Last week, I had a blast attending a taster session with Heather Moore from the Peacock and the Printmaker Lino printing workshop! It was incredible to learn this new art form and create a piece I'm proud of. During my interview with Heather, we discussed the fantastic benefits of workshops: learning new skills, meeting inspiring people, and truly connecting with the craft. This workshop was all about the joy of creating art! Want to unleash your inner artist? Heather has 3 workshops available now! Head over to Mayfli and look for "The Peacock and the Printmaker" to book your spot at these amazing workshops in Newcastle upon Tyne. ✨ #linoprint #workshop #getcreative #newcastleupontyne #artlife #mayfly #peacockandtheprintmaker #learnsomethingnew #makeconnections

I had an inspiring chat with @indiesellersguild in the USA today! They're fighting for the future of small businesses on giant marketplaces. We talked about Mayfli's mission, the power of shopping local, and the challenges platforms like Temu pose to the UK's small business community (and the economy as a whole!). Small businesses are HUGE employers here in the UK. From Saturday jobs to full-time careers, they provide so many opportunities and support so many families. What are your thoughts on the future of small businesses in the UK when we are competing against platforms like Temu? Should the Government step in? #SupportSmallBusiness #ShopLocal #IndiePower #ProtectOurCommunities #Mayfli.co
