Country Bumpkin

05 August 2014 was the official start date of Country Bumpkin by Bridget Meyer & Janine Schmitt.

We started by attending markets and selling all sorts, bought in items as well as some handmade. Bridget taught herself to sew and sew very well and I was in charge of marketing, admin, cutting of patterns and making loads of tea 😂. As we grew, we found ourselves enjoying making baby and nursery goodies for precious bumpkins and this soon became our niche. We have a wonderful support team as well, Bridget’s mom in law, Lilliane, also known as Boma (Belgium granny) is also an incredible sewer, crocheter and knitter, and she makes things for us too. My dad, Errol, also known as Umkhulu (Zulu grandpa) makes all our beautiful wooden goodies.

We love to help with all aspects of a nursery/room and have even done a few room makeovers, which we love.
