After 18 and a half incredible years, it’s time for me to say goodbye to my business.
This hasn’t been an easy decision, as it has been such a huge part of my life for so long. What started as a small idea grew into something I am so proud of, and that is entirely thanks to the amazing people I’ve met along the way. The support, loyalty and kindness from customers, friends and the wider community has meant more to me than words can ever truly express.
I’ve loved every moment—the busy days, the challenges, the laughter, and all the unforgettable memories that have been made over the years. This business has given me so much, not just professionally but personally too, and I will always be incredibly grateful for that.
However, the time has come for me to move on and begin a new chapter. I’m choosing to look ahead with excitement for what’s to come, carrying all the wonderful experiences and lessons with me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported me over the past 18 and a half years. I couldn’t have done it without you.
I want to also thank Chris and Shirley for everything they have done to support me and my business, I couldn’t have done it without you!
We will be closing our doors this Friday, so if anyone would like to pop in and help us celebrate the ending, you are more than welcome.
With love and gratitude
