About Mothers Goodies
Mothers Goodies is a small family run business located on Castle Terrace, Bridgnorth, Shropshire.
Behind the name “Mothers Goodies” is me, Dawn Jones. I am the founder and creator of Mothers Goodies.
Each & every handmade goody is crafted on the premises. I make in small batches, as I believe fresh is best. Affordability is really important to us at Mothers Goodies, it only seems fair that everyone should be able to enjoy a bath time treat or a bit of unwind time without breaking the bank.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
While on maternity leave almost 14 years ago, I fell in love with making scented candles soy candles. At first, I was making candles from paraffin, that was until I discovered natural wax and the benefits. I was making them purely for my own use & the occasional gift, but it soon turned into something more.
Previously to getting pregnant, I had worked full-time in dentistry for over 15 years. I started work at my local practice aged 16 before branching out into cosmetic dentistry and reconstructive dentistry.
I have always enjoyed hobbies in my spare time, I definitely have a crafty streak, but had never considered leaving dentistry or that my much-loved hobby could ever become my job.
Once our son arrived, I soon lost the desire for the daily commute & rat race six days a week. I still wanted to work, but not full-time. Like any parent, I wanted to spend more time with my family & our newly born son.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
In September 2012, I made the nerve-wracking decision to attend my very first craft fair as a stallholder. I needed a name for the stall. “Mothers Goodies” was born, after all, I was the Mother making the goodies. The craft fair went brilliantly, as did the next and the next. I continued to attend craft fairs until 2014 & I was also renting shelf spaces in local craft shops around Shropshire to widen my audience.
In April 2014, I was ready to take Mothers Goodies one step further. We rented our first retail space within another shop in Bridgnorth. This was home for Mothers Goodies until October 2016 when we relocated to new premises all of our own.
AND NOW
Mothers Goodies is now located at 1 Castle Terrace, Bridgnorth, WV16 4AH, where we hope to stay for many more years.
Mothers Goodies isn’t all about me, we are a team, a family. I have some wonderful staff members, all helping me make Mothers Goodies what it is today, my family are amazing too, supporting me in whatever decisions I make.
