To have your item included in a theme, simply add the tag for that day to your listing, exactly as written in this list. For example if you have an item you think would be great for Bee Day, add the tag ‘bee’ to the listing. If you just have the tag ‘bees’, the item won’t be included in the theme as this isn’t an exact match.
Please remember to only use the tag on items that are relevant to the tag.
For My Favourite Piece on 16th May please choose just ONE item you’re particularly proud of or want to show off this month.
