It's been a crazy few months, with refurbishment complications but despite it all the shop is open and I must say it looks really lovely. The open day was well attended despite not having advertised but next week the local paper will have my advert and my next job is to tell everyone about it!
Thank you to hubby Neil and Lewis and Sam for their encouragement and enthusiasm, and that also goes to my mum and dad and big sis who came down from the far north to be the first customers! Also my extended family and friends for their support especially Sarah and Gunilla for much encouragement and a lovely lunch they paid for even though I had invited them and the flowers too! Thanks to Brian the landlord for all his help with bits and bobs, Evan for all his help, Michael the painter, Finlay for the beautiful counter, Jules Akel for the fabulous logo, Ian Grover for once again working super fast to make the brilliant flyers and gift tokens, and Liz Hall for being a star and helping out with picture hanging, I'd still be their today in a heap if she hadn't offered to come over and sort it out! All the artists who have trust in me to sell their work, including Hannah who is working extra hard to make jewellery even though she's about to have a baby any day now! Lastly, Grace who will be working on a saturday to allow me to be taxi mum and take the boys on a saturday to various important sporting events.... phew now the hard work starts!
