If you have a small business you're often at the mercy of events. @spotdesignmarket.bsky.social had their ceiling fall down this week so they have a pop-up at Shawlands Arcade. I popped by to pick up one of @nebopeklo.bsky.social's amazing prints and to show them solidarity on #smallbusinesssaturday
