Even though its not christmas yet I have been planning the shop window for new year. Am thinking of having some scarves made up to add a bright cheery note to the shop - and hopefully draw people in to buy.
The first week and a half of being open have been slow but people are gradually finding me and I am hopeful that when I get some advertising sorted out - and finish my website - then things will take off. It's really great to have a space that I can work in and I am enjoying coming 'out to work'. The downside is that I have had to add gloves and scarf to my christmas list ( yes I know I should knit them...) because my poor fingers got all frozen today. My website is partly done... you can't buy anything on the site yet but you can see my list of workshop dates. Check it out at http://www.lupinandrose.co.uk/.

ReplyDeleteHi Jo
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't replied sooner. I hope you had a good Christmas at the Emporium. Things were slow here but since Christmas I have done quite well. When I finally get round to advertising things should get even better. It's really great though to be able to work out of the home environment.
Do pop in and see me though I expect like me you are tied to the shop and don't get out much!!
See you soon
All the Best
Ruth
