Feeling super lucky to have such a beautiful shop but today was a tough day, the heat gets to me so much. I am for sure much more of an autumn/winter girly, roll on cooler evenings and cosy vibes.
I spent the day rearranging the shop a little, getting ready for some more incoming stock. The space is so tight, it's always a bit of a juggle but arranging the shelves is for sure one of my favourite jobs.
A little website work, always trying to stay on top of keeping it updated but always never quite getting there. Think I have come to realise it will probably never be finished as it's always evolving.
Had some good chats with a few fellow shopkeepers, done a little dusting, watered the plants and tried to stay positive because today was a long one. Longer than a random, rainy February day when I had only made two pounds and eighty pence.
I was going to close early because of the warm weather but decided to stay a little longer, just in case someone popped in. As the afternoon went on I was feeling really low when, just before closing my wonderful teenage daughter turned up out of the blue to buy something, with her own money, so that I could at least make a little something for the day.
She makes me feel so proud, I honestly cried and so although it was a tough day I do feel super lucky.
And I know tomorrow will be a better day...hopefully
