Brenda Finch is the lovely lady behind jack&sally. jack&sally first caught my eye at the Go to Play Market at Giba Gorge in October. Have a look here for more on the Go to Play Market. I loved the look and feel of the jack&sally products and I can't imagine any kiddies not wanting to get their hands on a tent, bunting or little table set to play in!

Q.) Explain jack&sally in your own words
Jack&Sally is about playing outdoors, about taking your mind to places no one else
can go.
Imaginary friends are wonderful friends, no-one can see or hear
them!!
It’s about hours of fun in the sun.
Logic will get you from A-Z Imagination will get you EVERYWHERE.
Dream, Play, Imagine
Q.) What do you sell?
A-frame tents, French wire furniture, ground sheets, floor
cushions, bunting, and more to come.
Q.) Are jack&sally products durable?
Yes they are. The tents are made from
sturdy pine-a 7 piece frame, and beautiful fabric that can be pulled off and
washed and/or interchanged.
Q.) Tell us more about the lady behind jack&sally…
I need to be creative and have always had something creative on
the go. I used to do a clothing line and then had a baby and was rather busy
for a while. Inspiration comes in other forms when small feet are about the
house. I initially made a Punch & Judy puppet theatre which I adore, I sat
with a carpenter for two weeks while we got measurements and dimensions right
and then I did beautiful pin boards. I thought about what we loved doing
when we were kids and we made tents, going from one side of the sofa to the other,
using clothing pegs and pegging towels and blankets on the windy dryer, making
rooms and spending hours outside.
Q.) Do you sew and make your products yourself?
Yes I do, I drill the holes (with the help of my husband), I make
up the covers and sew the bunting.
Q.) Explain the name behind the business?
I love the Nightmare before Christmas. Enough Said, read it, watch it, love it.
Q.) What is your inspiration?
Beautiful fabric, can’t resist a stunning piece.
Q.) What is your favourite product you sell?
I love making the tents and I love making the bunting,
bunting is so happy….it’s hard to choose because it all marries so well
together, the stunning French wire furniture, the beautiful floor
cushions. I simply cannot choose a
favourite!
