I reached out to Amanda after attending the WInmalee Markets at Winmalee Public School last month. It was a thrill to discover that along with being co-organiser of the Winmalee Artisan Markets, she also founded XOXO Posy Co & Eco Confetti, two businesses I have been following online for some time. With 10 years floristry experience Amanda found herself with two young children and wanting to create work that could fit around her SAHM life. An epiphany at a soccer game kicked off XOXO Posy Co the subscription that sees 4 beautiful posies delivered in the month of your choosing. Then the abundance of gum leaves in her yard inspired the Eco Confetti she now makes and supplies to weddings and events. And finally, she put her hand up to help organise the Winmalee Markets when the previous organiser had to leave for personal reasons. She manages to do so much with her limited time by compartmentalising every task and keeping things simple but effective. It was such an inspiration meeting and chatting with a fellow creative mum who is rewriting the rules and making the life she wants while raising her children at the same time.
