"Just a Card"
6 July 2020
That one small purchase can make a huge difference to a small business.
During these difficult times, so many small businesses like me really need help from all consumers - just normal people, who enjoy shopping - there's a lot of you out there. One thing that would make a huge difference to us is for you to make just one purchase that you would normally head to Amazon, or Asos, or any other big name online retailer for.
I've been following and supporting the 'Just A Card' campaign for the past year or so. They are doing a great job highlighting how easy it is to help small businesses by simply buying 'just a card', because every one of those cards (or in my case - plant holder, crocheted top, beanie, headband, scarf... you get the idea), WILL make a huge difference.
I'd love it if anyone who has liked, shared or taken part
in one of my competitions would then maybe consider buying one of my products
next time you're looking for a special present for a friend or a treat for yourself, instead of going to a big name High St retailer.
The more purchases I receive, the more products I can make for you and the more discounts and competitions I can afford to offer you on a regular basis.Please consider giving me a try next time you fancy a bit of online shopping or visit me when the Hemel Hempstead Old Town Market starts up again (hopefully soon🤞🏼).
Wouldn't it be great if our High Streets were unique, with different shops
and run by mostly local businesses.
The world is changing in a major way, let’s see some positives from this global catastrophe. Let's go back to supporting each other's small enterprises, ideas and hobbies - there's a world of great talent out there that should be celebrated.
Take the "Just a Card"
challenge
and make a change
to your shopping habits - you never know what or who you might find.
Colourful Ramblings
Life has been somewhat topsy turvy for the past few years. With Covid affecting the whole world and then my own little world being challenged with the tedium that comes with trying to sell my house and move to somewhere new; I've been feeling somewhat overwhelmed. The one constant in my life has been my yarns, hooks and needles. I honestly think they are to thank for getting me through the past four years with a semblance of sanity in tact.
If I was to rank 2022 on a scale of 1 - 10, it's a solid 5. Neither wonderful nor disastrous, in school report terms, "could do better".
A new life and a new start is in reaching distance, I just have to be patient. I’ll keep doing the right things to make it happen and hopefully, before long I’ll be sharing with you my new adventure.
This day was always going to come, the day I say au revoir to all of you who signed up to my newsletters, visited my website, bought my products and offered kind words of support. Many of you did that regularly and I’m really grateful.
It took a pandemic to make me realise that I am enough. Yes, the me that I am today is more than enough, I don’t need to be anything more. I discovered that I don’t need to wear make-up and wash my hair every day (yes, I used to wash it every day - how ridiculous was that) and my pared back wardrobe was more than enough too.
