My shop

I'm thinking of doing a little update on how my shop is doing but it's all been a bit mad recently. With our sales being pretty awful in January (even worse than we expected), we haven't been able to get new stock in so it's been a little frustrating.
I managed to do a little valentines display in the window this weekend though. Made some paper love hearts and circle garland. I'm not one for traditional reds for valentines. I don't really like red or red interiors so I've gone for a white, gold and pink theme. I quite like it and hopefully you can see a little. My sister decided to shoot a few photos but don't think she got the jist of focusing, nor did she find the auto focus button so I only had a choice of two.
In the next few weeks I'm going to be completely re organising the website. I really want to concentrate on getting loads more stock on there as there doesn't seem to be a lot. When there is I'll do an exclusive discount for my readers - as I've had quite a few orders from my blog and really appreciate it.
I've been to a trade fair today and got lots of ideas of new stock, so can't wait to show you. I'm thinking lots of candles and lots more jewellery. Oh, as well as crafts. We are going to be stocking jewellery making supplies as well as everything we have in the shop, which will be added to the website shortly.
When we get the new stock I might do a preview of it - I'm not sure.
Let me know what you think.

  8. Your shop is so pretty! I would love to visit... but I'm on the other side of the world :( January is usually a quiet month for retail- here in Australia though it is mostly because of the summer hoilday season so hopefully things will pick up especially closer to Valentine's day :)
