To give you a taster....here is a sneak preview of some of the handmade items which will be making their way to the fair.

Dorset Team Spring Fair - HexNex

Our Dorset Team Spring Fair is fast approaching, it is being held on Saturday 5th May at the Allendale Centre in Wimborne. 

It is going to be a fantastic day with 60+ stalls run by Dorset Team sellers. Over the past few weeks we have been featuring different stallholders who will be attending. 

This week it is Laura from HexNex Jewellery who sells handmade, stylish, silicone teething necklaces for mums to wear and babies to interact with. 

HexNex jewellery began when Laura was on maternity leave with her eldest son. She says “I quickly discovered (as do most Mums) that jewellery was no longer an option! I began to look for something that was “baby-proof”. Teething necklaces were popular overseas but there wasn’t much available in the UK so Laura decided to design and create her own. She was made redundant shortly before returning to work so decided to take this as a sign and give her business a chance to be her full time job. 

“It's been 18 months and I have never looked back since! HexNex recently celebrated 1000 Etsy sales and every single order means the world to me as I'm always grateful people have chosen to purchase from my store. Our range is constantly being updated and we are inspired by the seasons, the current colour trends and all sorts of other random things around us! The jewellery is the perfect accessory for breastfeeding, baby wearing and teething with BPA free silicone which is safe to chew on and offering an alternative for fiddly little hands to pulling Mum's hair or scratching her skin.”

Please do put the date for the Dorset Team Spring Fair in your diary and head along to meet Laura and see the full range of her products.
