We are 7 years old today!!!
This years birthday has crept up on me lol (I’m still waiting on summer 😂).
Thank you just doesn’t seem enough but I really do want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for your support!
Every purchase, every like, share, review and recommendation, makes such a huge difference to a small business and also puts a huge smile on my face - so thank you 😊
We survived Covid when we were barely 5 months old, but we came through it and now with the cost of living crisis, things are so tough but you guys are amazing not only ordering but simply just liking, commenting or sharing a post helps us so much!
I will be totally honest this year after the large theft we had in February, I seriously considered giving up the business. My health hasn’t been great the past few years and it’s been a tough old year trying to get through it all. The theft was an emotional rollercoaster but the support we had was overwhelming and I can’t thank you all enough. Finding out the thief wouldn’t be prosecuted was devastating too, but we have battled through it and I’m not one to give up easily and hopefully with your continued support we will see our 8th birthday 🎂.
I often get asked where it all started; When my health began to deteriorate and my day job became a huge struggle, I worried what the future would hold. But my dream to find affordable gifts for everyone became a reality and LoveEachMoment was born! (Named after my 3 beautiful nieces we got LEM from Louise, Emily & Molly, and as I love each moment I spend with them that’s where the name came from).
I would also like to say a big thank you to all my family & friends and my amazing husband Mike, for all the support over the years - and a massive shout out to my little sister Leanne, who’s support has been amazing, she’s been out in all weathers at markets for me and saved the day more than once - it’s truly appreciated, thank you!. 🥰
Also a huge thank you to everyone at SHS Events, who have played such a huge role in helping us grow each year with their amazing markets & events! And to the whole market family, who you can always count on for a lot of laughs and tons of support, it’s such a great wee community and its an absolute privilege to be working alongside each and every one of you!
Thank you to Louise and the team over at Scottishmarkets.co.uk (D&L Markets and Events), who run Newton Means and Bishopbriggs, we have absolutely loved being part of your events and look forward to seeing you continue to grow and what you bring to the market world in the years to come!
Now a little plea to you all with us heading into the festive season, please, please consider shopping where you can with small businesses, we definitely appreciate you more and even after all these years, I still get excited when someone orders - your supporting a dream as well as helping to support our families.
If you’re even looking for gifts I don’t sell, just pop me a message as I have met some amazing traders over the years and can probably just about find you most things!
This festive season will see us take on one of our biggest events this month at Simply Christmas, inside the SECC. To say I am absolutely petrified is an understatement lol but very excited to see what it brings. We also have so many events planned so buying that perfect gift has never been so easy and never forget online is always open. I have been working hard to get the online catalogue on Facebook updated so check out those albums for some gorgeous new products!
Also keep in touch, I have got to know so many of you over the years. I have cried when I heard customers have passed away, sent a gift when they got married or got a new home, chatted at 3am when they couldn’t sleep and just needed a friendly ear and I have had this in return so thank you.
I definitely have the best customers💕. I do absolutely love the feeling I get every time a comment/message alert pops up even if it is just for a chat, and i definitely like to chat 😂 so remember my inbox is always open.
Well enough of all this soppy stuff 😂 and the mega long post 🙈 but if you made it thank u lol and keep a look out on the page this week for some special birthday treats and offers.
Thanks again,
Margaret 💕 ###
