This is probably going to scare a few people… and some of you might even think I’ve gone completely mad or that I’m being a bloody di****ad 😂
But I’m doing something I honestly never thought I would do.
I am putting ALL of my brand-new ornaments that I originally bought to sell into an UNRESERVED AUCTION.
Yes… you read that right. UNRESERVED! 😳
I know a lot of people will be thinking, “Josh would never do that!” — but after a lot of thinking, Jenny and I have made the decision that it is time for J&J Variety to go in one direction and one direction only.
That direction is OUR HOMEMADE PRODUCTS. ❤️💙
I honestly can’t believe Jenny and I have reached this stage of our lives. I started my hobby business over 5 years ago, after already having another business before that. Altogether, I have now been in business for around 10 years.
There has been a LOT of work, learning, ups and downs, stock, markets, shows and everything else that comes with running a small business.
But now it’s time for us to make a big change.
PLEASE DON'T THINK WE ARE GIVING UP ON MARKETS OR SHOWS! ❤️💙
WE ARE NOT!
J&J Variety will still be out there doing the markets, shows and events that we love.
The only thing we are changing is what we sell.
From now on, we are moving away from selling brand-new bought-in items and second-hand items.
We are going to concentrate on our homemade products.
That means the things we make ourselves — our soaps, wax melts, candles, DTF products, embroidery, stickers and all the other homemade products we are working on.
We want J&J Variety to become known for the things we actually make ourselves, rather than trying to sell a bit of everything.
So this Saturday, 10th October, at Kadina Showground, you will find me at the auction with 3 tables — Table 16.
And when I say these tables are going to be loaded… they are going to be absolutely packed! 😂
There will be heaps of brand-new ornaments and plenty of things that could make some great Christmas presents.
And remember…
🔴 EVERYTHING IS UNRESERVED! 🔴
So if you have been waiting for a chance to grab some great items, DON'T MISS IT!

🔨 EVERYTHING UNRESERVED!
But there is something else happening on Saturday that is just as important to me.
Jenny will be doing her very first market completely by herself. ❤️
She has quite a lot of anxiety around doing this on her own, so I ask everyone who sees her at the market to please be patient, kind and respectful.
She will be at the Wellbeing Market in Kadina, which is only about 5 minutes from where I will be at the showground.
So while I’m over at the auction, Jenny will be running J&J Variety at her very first market by herself.
It’s a pretty bloody big day for both of us. ❤️
And there is one more thing… 👀
Jenny and I have been working on something very exciting that we are going to be adding to J&J Variety.
But we aren't quite ready to tell everyone what it is yet. 🤫
All I will say is…
There is something very exciting coming to J&J Variety, and we can't wait to share it with you when the time is right! ❤️💙
This isn't the end of J&J Variety.
It’s the start of a new chapter.
We are clearing out the old, keeping the markets and shows we love, and putting everything we have into making J&J Variety the best little homemade business we can.
So come and support us on Saturday — whether you come and grab a bargain at the auction, or go and say hello to Jenny at the Wellbeing Market.
And please… don’t forget to tell Jenny she’s doing a great job. ❤️
From Josh & Jenny
Team J&J Variety 🐢💜💙
