Thank you to all who have applied. I’m getting lots of follow-up messages from applicants asking where I’m up to with the process, so I just wanted to send a little update.
I’m super excited to work through the cvs this weekend and I will be getting in touch with people early next week to arrange interviews. We extended the application date as responses were slow over Christmas but it seems like everyone is ready and excited for new beginnings now we’re into the new year. If you were thinking of applying but haven’t done so yet, please do so sooner rather than later!

It’s been a rough old year!
Whilst 2022 got off to a screaming start , it ended with a worrying decline in sales. This sadly led to downsizing our team and losing some valued employees.
Sales continued to decline in early 2023, but we took stock and worked hard to develop some solid growth plans. After attending some brilliant trade fair and researching methods, products and trends we were looking forward to launching spring sales with renewed enthusiasm and motivation.
Then my grandmother died suddenly and unexpectedly. This was made all the more difficult as she left behind my grandad who was incapable of caring for himself. After several months of juggling work, the kids, personal health issues and taking care of grandad, he too passed away.
Business was steadily declining and I believe this was due to lack of input. We weren’t creating new products, we weren’t marketing and the cost of living crisis were all playing a part.
With a dramatic drop in sales during our busiest seasons we were hopeful Christmas sales would pull us through to 2024. However, that was not to be, and with ongoing personal health issues the quiet 2023 has been something of a blessing in disguise.
That being said. I love this little business. I love what we make, I love making it and I love creating new products that hit those trends and bring happiness to our customers. I predict 2024 will be will be even more quiet due to personal circumstances, however I am quietly working away to try and make sure the business stays afloat despite difficulties behind the scenes.
We have a few new products to launch for the new year and we’re recruiting to help fill in some of the gaps as we plan ahead for business in 2024. Fingers crossed we will overcome this period of difficulty and the plans we made early in 2023 can finally be put into motion 🤞
For now, we’re wishing all our customers and followers a festive season filled with laughter, love, and cherished moments with loved ones. May the new year bring you all health, wealth and joy!
Merry Christmas!

Wowzer!!
That was HARD.
I've got to admit I don't think I have EVER felt/worked through such severe pressure. I know I'm not alone with this too.
I am really sorry for dropping off the radar here in Insta-land. We were having some lovely conversations about weddings and plans for the new year. My stories and behind the scene pictures and videos were getting so much engagement. I promised I will get back to that in the coming weeks (lets face it, we all love a good nosey!)
Despite the hold on life and work, business has been so incredibly busy, and my customers have been wonderful. People have really pulled together lately, and the message seems to be underpinning so many words and actions. The follow-up messages from customers to simply let me know that you've received your orders (and that they love them!) are lovely to hear at the best of times, but during this period of high stress, it has been a real saving grace. Thank you for being so lovely!
Soooooo, I've been trying to think of ways to pay if forwards...to try and sprinkle a little kindness to my wonderful following and customers. I have a few ideas...(1) a robe giveaway, (2) a store credit, (3) a discount maybe, but I'd love to hear what you would like. What would you feel the benefit from right now? Let me know by commenting below with 1,2,3 or 4 - something else (but be sure to let me know what that is!)
I'm looking forward to interacting with you all again in the near future. Thanks for sticking around :)
