As I was designing a product for specifically the tourist market, I realised that this specific can was not practical in terms of size and packaging. I quickly had to find another supplier to help me roll out the product fast enough to satisfy the demand. However, we needed another platform to officially launch our product into the market. So we recently took part in an awesome local platform for handmade creativity, called Kamersvol Geskenke, or KAMERS/Makers.

As of late, I have felt my money affairs spiral out of control. Especially as I am also running my business and needing to keep cash money separate from our household money. In an attempt to take control, I spoke to the person I know manages her money the best… I think people, in general, are just embarrassed to talk about money.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a remarkable lady about two years ago, on Women’s day, to be exact. I heard her speak at another event about a month ago, and learned that she had just climbed Kilimanjaro successfully! Then the lady seated on the right calmly said: “I also did Kilimanjaro…about 15 years ago. That lady chose to tackle Kilimanjaro by putting one foot in front of the other and pushing herself to achieve her dream.

I started this creative company in 2004 as a Jewellery Artist Lilly Loompa Eco Products and Furniture was launched exactly one year ago on this day! I made history by launching the very first social media auction of its kind on 12 September 2016. See the video below In the last year we have made over 100 products – these differ from exclusive, once-off pieces to smaller items. Slowly but surely we have managed to gain 778 social media followers We joined a great on-line shopping platform called Made in Everywhere.
