Not long now.... 🤞🏻🤞🏻 good luck to all of the businesses who are opening back up tomorrow! You will smash it!

If you didn’t see earlier in the week I posted on our stories to say we will be opening back up for takeout coffee & cake at weekends and gradually building back up to be fully open in May when we are allowed to have you back inside... can’t wait!

Two more days.....wooooo hooooo
Happy dance mixed up with realization that I really should be more organized than I am. Not like I've not had plenty of time!
So looking forward to being able to open the doors again. It's been quite the year!
For the next few weeks we will just be open until school pick up time during the week until the guidelines for childcare change (please check opening times if you are making a special journey) Open until 5 on Saturday and Sunday.
If anyone is still a little uncomfortable "real life shopping" get in touch on messenger we can still deliver/post or we can arrange an appointment out of hours.
Hopefully see you soon

So..... we have eventually had the go ahead to open our doors to our shops again next week 🎉🎉🎉.

Things have been very tough mentally for myself as well as for a lot of other people & my fellow business owners over the last few months.

It seems almost strange to think this time next week our doors will be back open to all of our lovely customers.

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve started (ish) to get my mojo back a little so I will try to get as many of my behind the scenes projects onto my pages over this coming week.

I cannot wait to open the doors to Little Shabby Hen again & welcome everyone back in.

Here is my 1st instalment of finished projects in the shop for today.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day x.

We look forward to welcoming any customers who can make it to our opening on Monday 12th April 2021, 11am-3pm.

We will also open that week Friday 16th April & Saturday 17th April. Regular opening times to follow.

📸 spicy beef chilli enchiladas, Mexican cheese buffalo burger, chicken fajita dirty fries, classic nachos, corn on the cob & tex-mex slaw 🤤🤤

Remember this will be our last Saturday Takeaway for a while, so take advantage 🖤
