If we didn't sell out at an event, does that mean it wasn't a success?

Well that depends on how you measure success.
Because if all you care about is the numbers, then maybe.

But if what you care about is building a business that connects with people then you can view it differently. Meeting customers, sharing experiences and learning from other businesses, it all has value that helps you grow.

And there are so many things you can't control when you attend events. You won't always find the sweet spot of taking the perfect amount where you never miss a single opportunity to connect with a customer but also have nothing left at the very end of the day.

We are always open about when we get things right but when we get things wrong it's equally valuable. And the gamble of the silly effort was unnecessary on this occasion, but that doesn't mean it wasn't worth it 🤍

Had such a lovely day today at Gluten Free Fayre UK in Reading 🥰

Thank you so much to everyone that came, grabbed some bakes or said hello. It was lush to speak to so many customers and other businesses. Days like this where the GF community get together are unmatched 🙌

Huge thank you to Joanne Szrok 🌸 Becki | My Coeliac Adventure 🌾 and Esmae’s Gluten Free Emporium for organising. So grateful for your hard work to give us the opportunity to attend events like this 🫶

Exhausted after a very busy week making sure we were more than prepared for today. Nobody had to leave empty handed as we made sure the was no chance of selling out. Whether you're a new or returning customer, we very much hope you enjoy your bakes 🙏

We came home loaded with treats for ourselves from so many of the other businesses there 😋

We'll be taking a full day off tomorrow for some much needed recovery and downtime 😴

It's getting harder and harder to predict how much to bring to our markets, but that's a problem we're incredibly grateful to have 🙌

More and more coeliacs are discovering us, and it's been amazing to see so many new faces coming along to our markets 🥰

We're still a small business trying to keep up as we grow, and the support we've received over the last few months has genuinely meant so much to us 🙏

Thank you to everyone who's been part of it 🐻‍❄️
