Well, well, well...it's been a while and I'm sorry it has taken this long but it's been a tricky few months. We made the decision at the end of last year that the business was changing direction and we needed to move out of our office space. At the same time we had someone interested in buying the business and taking it on from us. Sadly that deal didn't materialise and after a lot of thought I decided that actually I wasn't totally ready to let things go. This business has seen me through some of the toughest times of my life - breast cancer, the pandemic and my divorce to name a few. I love doing it, I love the connection with you our lovely customers and I enjoy finding nice things to wear and make others enjoy what they are wearing too.
Teresa is off on new adventures, and I am really happy for her. Everything is good.
Thank you for all your lovely messages of support and a huge outpouring of love when we said we were closing. That was a huge factor in my deciding to carry on. So here I am.
Things will be different, because they have to be. Running a small business online and over Instagram has changed significantly since we first started out. It is so much harder to be seen and to get your products out there to a new audience. Marketing them well is certainly not free and the cost for a small business is too much. It's no coincidence that so many small businesses are closing their doors.
Thankfully you guys are the best audience I can have - so it's all for you, not nameless, faceless others...I won't be chasing hundreds of new followers, I want to serve YOU, the ones who keep me going and make this job so brilliant and worthwhile.
So let me know what you want to see, what you want me to buy and what you think of everything...feedback is super important, and good customer service comes from listening to feedback.
I will hopefully be helping you find pieces you love, that will work with wardrobe staples you already have.. everything goes with jeans and a good white t-shirt so we'll be discussing where to find those too. Let's share ideas, helpful tips, book reviews, you name it anything goes!
I can't wait to get started...
lots of love Annie x
