If you missed the last market, damn you missed a good one💥here's a little recap......

11/07/2024

You just gotta love our traders 🖤 showing their support for each other means the world to them 🌎🖤
🖤

Working today wearing my latest band tee from Peanut Rocks. What’s great about these guys is that their merch is all licensed meaning the artists get a cut of everything sold.

With so many bootleggers around it’s hard to resist the temptation of getting a cut price item of your favourite artists.

Peanut Rocks are however reasonably priced and you can go on knowing you’re still supporting your favourite bands and a small business who are doing awesome things.

Godsmack for the win 🤘
