It's hard to believe it's been two years since we were knocking out the big high ESB counter in the blistering heat and yet it's also hard to believe it's only been two years. Since we realised the business was moving it's been a whirlwind and finally the end is in sight….this weekend.
The thing with change is it's a great opportunity to correct the things that weren't right in the first place. However, for a while, even though I've been looking forward to the move and all the new opportunity it brings it has also brought a lot of discomfort. The blog and the newsletters have been quite as I've found it hard to wrap my head round how it's all going to work. I kind of lost my rhythm there for a while. As I danced between delight and sheer terror about the move it was had to find the right words to say.
Often as humans we try to keep things the same, sometimes making things worse by not changing but our nature means we become familiar, attached and there is a comfort and security in this. It seems odd to me that the place that started this amazing adventure for me will no longer be accessible to me. Like driving past your childhood home that your parents sold and moved away. Good memories but no longer a physical attachment.
Things staying the same makes it easier for us to settle in and operate on 'auto pilot' but when we get to the reality of it if I had an apple for every time someone has said 'you're a bit out of the way up here' I'd be selling my own juice! And with a business hat on you were right.
But I strongly believe things happen for a reason and our location on Church road was right for our first step into the scary world of owning your own business. And now the time is right to move.
'Build it and they will come' to quote the film and you have come, up that hill in the wind and the rain and we are very thankful for it. So now it's time to make coming to us a bit easier. No hill to climb, no wind tunnel to battle against and no more illegal parking required.
We will see you there!
p.s. if you didn't know already we are moving to the square - the bright turquoise shop :-)

No More Galivanting
I can't believe it's the 1st of June - especially with this weather. May just seemed to go in the blink of an eye, probably because we did so much gallivanting! Well many weddings, later, a festival organised and executed and various parties later I suppose we need to get back to business. The business of moving! Our one week sale has been a fantastic success and we will have another one at the end of June so don't worry if you missed out.
Our move date is set for some time in June or July - when we get round to it really. I am looking forward to it so much that I am determined to stress about it and enjoy the designing and painting and getting it set up just so.
I've planned the layout, picked the colour for the walls - Autentico of course and the colour for the outside. I've ordered the sign and given Tom a list of jobs to be done. We've loads of new stock to fill the new shop for the summer and all I am worried about is if we can keep up with demand.
Our cosy new craft corner will be all set to go with lots of crafts to make and take as well as our popular classes.
Private classes can also be booked such as sewing, knitting, crochet and many more. I'm designing new leaflets to
