π Happy 2nd Birthday to The ARK Felixstowe π
Well we've made it to 2 years and I'm so happy βΊοΈ
Things have changed since i opened and i love that, it still continues to grow and become better each month. The people who share The Ark with me help to make it such a special place.
It has become my second home, my happy place where anyone is welcome and has become a safe space for so many π«Ά.
Thank you...
To my family who have lost me for the last two years to the shop and thanks for coming to help whenever I need it and for keeping me goingπ.
To the amazing Ark family, (much more than just staff) who support me and the Ark community daily π«Ά.
To the wonderful crafters who share the space to showcase their beautiful items. π
To the Crafty Buggers who bring so much laughter and joy on a Tuesday afternoon.π€£
To the talented Creators who run the most skillful workshops and share their skills.π
To the other local small businesses who work together to create such a unique town.πͺ
To the Breast Friends cancer support sewing community group π thanks for choosing to have the sessions with us, growing in numbers every month, the love in the room is heart warming.
To the loveliest customers anyone could wish for, thank you so much to everyone who has visited us at The Ark over the past couple of years and supported me and the other crafters, you're just the best friends and customers anyone could wish for.
If the next year goes as well then I will be the happiest and most grateful person to be able to continue to meet so many inspiring and unique people.
If you're in Felixstowe why not pop in for a browse.
We're open until 10pm tonight to watch the fireworks π
Just a reminder of my opening times
Monday-Friday 10-5pm
Wednesdays 10-7pm
Saturday Sunday 9-5pm
I had a customer this week say to me that they love the shop and dont want to tell anyone about it as they want to keep the hidden gem to themselves π€£. Please don't, in today's climate small businesses need all the support they can get to try and keep going. There are so many things you can do to help that cost nothing......
