In a world dominated by big-box stores and online shopping, there is something truly special about a local shop that weaves itself into the fabric of a small town.
For the past decade, our local shop has been a place of discovery, connection, and inspiration. It has served as a platform for both established and emerging artisans to showcase their talent and craftsmanship. By providing a physical space where creators can share their passion with the community, the shop has become an integral part of our local economy and cultural landscape.
To mark this milestone, the Cheersquad embarked on a FUN project: collaborating with ten+ of our favourite makers. These makers have either been with us since the beginning or were discovered along the way. The goal was to create a collection of products that capture the essence of our community, creativity, and a dash of local flavour.
