It's been a strange week. I started the week a bit down in the dumps. I know that they say imitation is the highest form of flattery but it can be a little exhausting coming up with new things all the time when people copy your ideas. Don't get me wrong - there is never a shortage of new ideas. As someone said to me this week I don't know how you do it, your brian never switches off. Maybe not but the plus side it's full of lots of new ideas waiting in reserve.
At a weak moment I posted a little something on Facebook and in the morning I felt a little embarrassed but it helped me realise that the ideas and products I have are just a small part of Lúnasa.
We have an array of supplies who we know by name and who put a little love into each of our handmade products.
We have amazing customers who love our individual style and our unique products.
We have creative people who bring sunshine to our little store when they attend our courses.
We have those who like our store so much they let us celebrate their birthday or special occasion with them.
We have an array of mini makers who come and get stuck in every week.
And we have those groups in the community that invite us to share our creativity with them.
I had a flood of lovely comments, texts and genuine concern from all of these people and it made me realise I am part of a community that makes me feel valued for doing something I love and for that I am very grateful.
People can copy our products and ideas but they can't copy our vision and our passion..…and whatever they do they can't copy your enthusiasm for all things handmade.
Thank you for your continued support
