SPRING HAS SPRUNG 🌸 I did it again! 🤭

48 hours before we take over UNTITLED 💜

Happy Springtime my loves! 🌱

I’ve been a little quiet over the last couple of weeks as I’ve been bringing this Spring Pop-Up to life✨

Many of you might have noticed by now that I tend to move in the shadows… I’ve been learning this year that some of my best work needs a little darkness before it’s ready to bloom🪷

I may have teased this late winter… and now it’s finally ready 😍

IN FULL BLOOM 🌸

I’m so excited to be partnering once again with Life in Vacant Spaces as they bring UNTITLED, their new temporary creative space on Tuam Street, to life.

And this weekend, we’re filling it with a little bit of everything 💜

SHOP LOCAL MAKERS 🛍️

I’m bringing together some beautiful local makers and Ōtautahi wāhine-owned brands:

Source to Skin | Botanical Oils
Little Filo | Polymer Clay Creations
MOTHERTREE ⟡ The Home of Multidimensional Herbalism ⟡
💫 Fio Ortecho 💜

Come shop local, meet the makers and discover something new.

MAKE SOMETHING 🕯️
Our Springtime Pressed Flower Candle Making Workshop is back for its THIRD Spring season!

REFILL SOMETHING♻️
Bring your cleaned empty candle jar along and refill them at our Candle Refill Bar.

AND ONE MORE THING… 🥹💜

I’m also opening the doors a little earlier for a special pre-opening activation.

If you’ve made it this far, this one is for you, my loves.

I’m hosting an invite-only mini sound bath, followed by coffee, tea and a little community connection before we open the space to the public.

This is a small thank you to the people who have supported Purple Goddess and Co. through another season. Whether you’ve bought a candle, come to a workshop, shared my work, sent a friend my way, replied to a story or simply continued to be here… I see you. 🥹💜

If you’d like to join us, comment “SPRING MAGIC” and I’ll send you the private RSVP link. 💌

3 DAYS TO GO!! Come see me at The Garden City Mākete Mid-Winter Christmas Market 🛍️💜

“where did you get that?”

“actually… i made it” 🥹

and that’s exactly why handmade will never be the same as mass-produced 🫶🏽

so often I get asked why my candles are priced the way they are, especially when you can buy one from Kmart, The Warehouse or anywhere else for much less.

and honestly? i never take offence 🥰

because I know what’s gone into every single candle I make 💜

every fragrance is carefully chosen. every ingredient and material has been thoughtfully sourced. every batch is hand poured, hand labelled, packed by me, and infused with intention before it ever reaches your hands ✨

it’s not really a comparison because they’re two completely different products!

one is made by machines, produced in the thousands and sitting on shelves across the country (no shade if you prefer that 😙)

the other is made by a real person who gets excited every time an order comes through, remembers your face when you come back, and does a little happy dance with every sale because it means i get to keep creating 🥹

so if you’ve ever wondered why supporting small businesses matters, this is why.

soooooo this saturday, come wander through the The Garden City Mākete Midwinter Christmas Makete from 10am–6pm and meet the incredible local artists, makers and creatives behind every stall 🛍️

every purchase supports a dream, a family, a passion project, and our Christchurch community.

Hope to see you there 💜
