00:00This is our little baby and toddler sleepwear brand.
00:05Everything's made from organic cotton and bamboo fabric.
00:08All the prints are hand-drawn by us,
00:12and it's been running for almost a year and a half.
00:16We've got Welsh-inspired prints.
00:18Seems to be a real hit here at Cardiff, so that's really good.
00:22Chris has Asperger's syndrome, so he was struggling a lot with life,
00:27but he found drawing really, really helped him express himself.
00:30And within two years of him being home from school,
00:33he started to draw photorealism.
00:35And now, with the help and support of me and my wife,
00:38this is now his business, self-employed as an artist.
00:41And we've been doing this now for ten years.
00:44It started as a hobby, and eventually, over a couple of years,
00:47it took over all our lives.
00:49And so we made the decision to downsize our jobs,
00:52and now this is our full-time job.
00:54So we come round to markets all year.
00:56We spend all year making decorations for Christmas and things like that.
01:00There's an array of different stores here that offer handmade stuff,
01:04and I think people are after that, something that's a little bit different,
01:08in terms of shopping this Christmas,
01:10and having that personal touch always means a lot more.
01:14The organisers put so much thought into who comes here, where you are.
01:19We're all spaced out nicely, so you get to walk around Cardiff city centre.
01:23You won't find two stalls next to each other who are similar.
01:26And there is something for everyone.
01:28There is a budget for everyone.
01:30From £2 or £3 decorations,
01:32somebody can commission a picture of their portrait,
01:35or, you know, £100.
01:37There is something for everybody here,
01:39and for every budget, and for every market.
01:41And that is the joy, I think, of the Cardiff market.
01:44Yes, every cabin is individual.
01:47The person in the cabin, or a relative of that person,
01:51has made what's in the cabin,
01:53so you're not going to get this in a retail store.
01:56You have to visit the markets to get these.
