The Birth of Lush Baubles

Many years ago, in a period between jobs, the seed of Lush Baubles was planted. As Kylie explored her creative talents, what began as a hobby soon transformed into an unwavering passion. Fuelled by a desire to combine vintage and antique elements with a contemporary flair, Lush Baubles was born.

Crafting Unique Jewellery

At the heart of Lush Baubles lies an unwavering commitment to creating exceptional pieces of wearable art. Sourcing vintage and antique components from around the world, Kylie allows each element to inspire the overall design. Whether it's incorporating stunning gemstones, pearls, or other intricate details, every piece is meticulously hand-wired into place, ensuring enduring quality. From earrings to necklaces, each creation takes anywhere from a few hours to several days, exemplifying the dedication and craftsmanship poured into every item.

From Side Project to Full-Time Pursuit

This business is not merely a side project or a means of generating supplemental income. It is a full-time endeavour born out of personal circumstances. Thirteen years ago, when they became a stay-at-home parent, the pursuit of jewellery-making offered solace amid the joys and challenges of raising a child. Over time, it became evident that this was more than a pastime—it was their true passion, and thus, the decision was made to dedicate themselves fully to the craft.

Navigating Challenges

Like any small business, Lush Baubles has encountered its fair share of challenges. However, one obstacle stands out above the rest—the unprecedented global pandemic that swept the world in 2020. With lockdowns and market cancellations, the loss of income became a significant hurdle for the business. Nevertheless, Lush Baubles persevered, adapting to the circumstances, and finding innovative ways to reach customers and sustain its operations.

Future Aspirations

As for the future, Kylie envisions expanding the business further. The dream of establishing an online shop to showcase and sell their creations holds great allure. However, the current exchange rates and international shipping costs present a hurdle that must be overcome. Despite this, the unwavering dedication and entrepreneurial spirit that brought Lush Baubles this far will undoubtedly propel them toward achieving their goals.

The Magic of the Market

Amidst the intricacies of running a business, there is one aspect that consistently brings joy to Lush Baubles—the market itself. The vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, both from the public and fellow stallholders, is a cherished aspect of participating in market events. At these occasions, stress dissipates, and a sense of camaraderie prevails, creating an environment where creativity can thrive.
