Welcome to another edition of Businesses of Bayside, where we shine a spotlight on the incredible entrepreneurs who bring heart and creativity to our local community!
Day 2 of Businesses of Bayside
Celebrating the local legends who make our community thrive!
Today, we’re featuring Marissa from ‘Pride and Pop’ @prideandpop , a ‘handmade with love’ jewellery business sold through market stalls and online. All of the jewellery is made with polymer clay and stainless steel and there are no scraps – everything is used which makes Marissa’s business very environmentally friendly! 🌏💞

What was your inspiration?
