Meet Rita

In my work I hope you will find encouragement, a little whimsy, something pretty or at least something to make you think. I do believe we need to be thankful and focus on the positive! I am passionate about art and believe that we are all creative in our own ways.

Today I want to chat about shopping small & indepe

Today I want to chat about shopping small & independent when you can over the next few weeks. Things here have been very quiet and it’s quite unnerving if I’m honest & I’ve seen lots of other small businesses saying the same. I know a lot of people haven’t started shopping yet (myself included but I’m excited to get started this weekend!) so if you have the means and can think of us when you’re writing your lists, we’d all love you for it! Every penny spent with a small business has a positive impact.

When you shop small you are…
✏️ investing in skills, expertise, hard graft and steep learning curves.
✏️ moving someone closer to their dreams
✏️ putting food on the table and helping towards paying the bills
✏️ allowing flexible working hours for those who need them
✏️ receiving a more personal service, something the big multinationals are unable to provide
✏️ supporting real people and not lining the pockets of tax dodgers
✏️ buying products designed, made and packaged with love and care

However, it is important to understand that it’s not always possible to shop small and no one should be shamed for not doing so. There will always be things that we have to pick up elsewhere and that’s okay! If you can’t shop as small as you’d like to this year for whatever reason there are plenty of other ways you can help without spending!
✏️ Liking and commenting on our posts – it all adds up in the various algorithms and tells the platform that we’re creating valuable content.
✏️ Saving our posts for later - Instagram loves this and it helps you keep tabs on your favourites.
✏️ Sharing our posts, work, or websites – this helps us to reach people who may have never otherwise found us.
✏️ Subscribe to our newsletters – and forward any relevant ones to family and friends
✏️ Post your recent purchases to social media & tag the maker! - This is one of my favourites!
✏️ Review any previous purchases!

It’s not just us online who would love your support! Don’t forget your local independent gift shops, local restaurants (gift vouchers make great gifts!) and Christmas markets!

Hands up if you’re doing do your best to shop small this year!

My latest creation, the blue bunny. Who says that

My latest creation, the blue bunny. Who says that we have to paint or imagine things only in traditional colors? Not me, after all I have naturally purple hair- naturally because the color purple is found in nature! 😉
Do you tend to dress or create and “natural” or do you go outside the box and create your own style? Let me know in the comments below 👇 oh and don’t forget to swipe right!

Serendipity- my newest artwork! I love the combination of magical and realism. Anything is possible! If you could imagine any combos of animals with people what would it be?

I did a gallery showing online and you can still catch it on my FB page - Rita Barakat 1.
