A woman inspired by her husband's love for woodwork has started a business called "Dust in the Wind" where she uses left-over wood from hardware companies in Fiji to create stunning work of art for household use.

Soffy Pointdexter who is part of the Christmas Market Day at YWCA Building says her husband is a master woodworker.

She says her husband used to create ornaments, earrings, and other incredible things from wood when they were in the US and they decided this could financially assist them during this period.

Pointdexter sells earrings, Christmas ornaments, greeting boards, and other products made from wood and also homemade jams.

The Christmas Market Day is held every Saturday at the YWCA Building, behind Sukuna Park.
