A Little Help from Our Friend
- Words by Peppermint
Say hello to our little friend Helpful Harriet! This cute lil’ creature brought to life by Quill and Ink Handmade is on a mission to find a new home – and brighten your day in the process! Ever the helpful friend, she and her other cuddly mates will be on hand this Friday evening to offer you some company at the BrisStyle Twilight Market. She knows the ins and outs of the BrisStyle stalls and we can’t think of anyone better to share a special market night under the stars with. Show Harriet a good time and you never know, you might just be tempted to take her home!
