The Spring Market opens this Saturday—and here at Thistle and Bard, we’re ready to make waves!
Whether you're a long-time collector or you're diving into our enchanted collections for the first time, this seasonal showcase is packed with exclusive offers, magical treasures, and a little undersea sparkle. From dreamy mermaid stationery to limited-edition bundles and digital delights, you won’t want to miss the opening day.
What is the Joy of Indie Spring Market?
The Joy of Indie Market is a curated celebration of small, independent businesses just like ours. It’s a chance for artists, crafters, and indie makers to come together and showcase their creations in one magical online space. Think of it like a festival—just without the muddy fields and unpredictable weather!
Thistle and Bard will be there with:
💫 10% off our bestselling stickers, sticker sheets, and stationery
✨ Limited-edition bundles (while supplies last!)
🌟 An exclusive holographic mini print for the first 8 orders only
🌊 Brand new mermaid-themed products, launching especially for the market (and my birthday).
Top Picks from the Lost Lagoon Collection
To help you plan your haul, here are some of our favourite picks making a splash this weekend:
🧜♂️ 1. Merboys Holographic Sticker
A cheeky addition to your journal or laptop—these shimmering Merboys are here to stir up mischief and are one of our most popular sticker sheets at the moment!
📱 2. Lost Lagoon Digital Wallpapers
Turn your screen into an underwater sanctuary with beautifully illustrated desktop and phone backgrounds. Instant download available.
🎨 3. Terra and Friends: Savage Lands Colouring Book
Not strictly underwater themed, but she does love bubbles and splashing around! Perfect for mindful moments or sharing with little adventurers, this digital colouring book features prehistoric pals from our Savage Lands collection.
📝 4. Exclusive Birthday Mermaid Designs
Especially designed for this market (as it conveniently falls over my birthday), Arcade the digital merboy will be making his design debut on a range of products from blankets, to t-shirts, and water bottles to Notebooks (and of course high top canvas shoes too). This one is definitely going to be popular and not to be missed or you might not see it again!
