Christmas is coming and so is our big Christmas Woodend Market!! In all of the excitement of our last post we forgot to mention that we will also be adding a few outdoor stalls to our November 18 event... so the shopping is going to be even better :)
One lovely retailer that you will find set up inside St Ambrose Hall is Kate from Whale Spout. A gorgeous name, a gorgeous logo and some serious gorgeous products. Here's Kate to tell you some more about what you'll see from Whale Spout at Sugar & Spice....
Are you more sugar or spice?
Definitely more sugar – I love anything with
some sweetness to it (and not just food!).
What inspired you to start your own
business?
I have three small girls and my concerns regarding the sexualisation of
children in society and the media led me to create designs for them – designs that
allow and encourage kids to be kids, and not to dress them up as mini adults.
Whale Spout encourages kids to embrace the essence of childhood in
designs that let them be little fish. My inspiration comes from my childhood
and the way I was raised - playing outside, getting dirty, connecting with
nature, stimulating the senses and being allowed to be a child.
How did you name your business?
My eldest daughter chose it - a ‘whale
spout’ is that first hair style a little girl has when her hair is long enough
to tie up on the top of her head. It also has influences of us living by the
beach and my love of whales!
What is your favourite piece from your own
range?
The Grace skirt in Paris is one of my
earliest pieces and is still my favourite. I have a passion for all things
French and every girl that puts this skirt on is guaranteed to do a twirl in
it!
