Hi All 👋
It’s been a little minute since I popped anything on here … so Merry Christmas , Happy New Year , and Happy Valentines for good measure 🤦♀️😂
I’ve had so many lovely messages from my regulars checking in with me when I didn’t release a Valentines collection 🥹 and I just love you all for that. All wondering if I am still going…
The answer to that is YES I am still going , and I’m very sorry for the radio silence recently , the extremely out of character delay in responses over the last three months which are really not my usual turn around and customer service I have delivered for the last 4 years , and I thank you for always having patience and understanding that it WILL arrive.
The truth is, we have had a bumpy ride as a family since November. And I don’t think this is anything I’ve ever shared with you , and I know he won’t mind me doing so either, is that my husband was diagnosed with bipolar 1 in 2021. Anyone that has this disease, or lives or is close to anyone that has it , will understand the huge impact it can have on you all as a family during an episode. We’ve had a very difficult few months. It’s all consuming , and has put a strain on my own mental health while I hold the pieces of us all together to keep life moving as best I can. This leaves little room or capacity for much else and my family has and always will come first before anything else because they are the most important thing to me.
Thank god for Elaine 🩷 who has single handedly kept my business moving. Stock trips, extra hours , parcel runs and general running around. I just couldn’t have done it without her. So much so, 99.9% of people would never have known anything was wrong.
I feel able to come on and share this with you all, as I feel like I’m getting back to my old self. Back to wanting to get stuck in again ready for lots of exciting collections over the next few months and ready to go at my best , which is what I’ve always given.
2025 starts here, let’s go 🫶 2024 we ended on over a million views on Etsy, we are one of the biggest suppliers on Etsy for party and event favours , with 1500 5 * reviews and counting. My website is thriving with more and more direct orders from repeat customers , life’s good 🩷
Thanks for a great support last year, it means the world to me , I’m always so very grateful for every order.
If anyone is struggling with their mental health please reach out for support 🫶
