Evening peeps , been sitting tonight having a good old think about things .. so I thought I would post (you best grab a cuppa as I do waffle on !!)
Our Little Shop of Happiness was born when we were only a few months into lockdown, little did I know then how important this little business would become in peoples lives, including my own ... with the support of my family , who at times have saved my little shop and all of you wonderful peeps from some of my crazy ideas and believe me there have been a few 🤣🤣, what you see on the page are the ideas that passed the " are you kidding mum" Mel Chapman test.
I have always been aware of pricing without compromising on quality and adhering to our standards, buying local and hand making as much as I possibly can, nothing will leave my home until I'm 100% satisfied with it, and that's whether the order is £1 or £1000. Word of mouth is always the best form of advertising , so ensuring everything is exactly as I want it to be, be it for a special order with specific items or be it something special I have found, I will have the confidence to know that our reputation out in the big wide world is wonderful .
I have had 1 issue in the 18 months I've been open and that was a flaw in a scarf that I hadn't noticed before I boxed it up , but I learnt from that and try and go over things with a fine toothcomb so hopefully ensure nothing slips under radar again.
I will always source things I think you will like, and try my best to keep prices affordable for all budgets.
A couple of Questions I get asked ...
Have you got a website ? ermmm it is under construction hahaha which translates into I'm no good at technology so might be a while .
Where do you get your ideas? Normally 3am when something will pop into my mind that I've seen or someone has mentioned in passing.
Why don't you do any outside Fairs ? Good question and the answer is having the time, you keep me so busy with orders and they are priority to me so I would hate to spread myself so thin that I'm not giving 100% all the time. although I am doing 1 on 22nd November in Liscard Wirral, its not one with lots of stalls its just little old me oh and my mum, (this will be the 1 and only this year).
Think I best stop waffling now as Im sure you will all be snoozing by now, but before I do ..
Can I just say
