Ok, technically not shop related, but a lot of you are aware of “The Accident” and the loss of my beloved Mini, so you get to share my happiness.

It’s taken months of searching, but I finally found a replacement that met my many, many requirements.

I didn’t stop smiling the whole drive home yesterday. 😁

Does colour affect how you feel towards something? I’m talking specifically about a car.
I’m looking for a replacement for my Mini that was written off earlier in the year, and it HAS to be green. I can’t explain it. I’m not trying to be awkward or fussy, it’s not just a car to me. If I’m having another Mini, it has to be green. (Yellow is the only alternative I’ll consider). Is this me being me, or do other people feel this way?

Coincidence? I think not… 😂

BRB off to order some more male manikins.

We’ve finally managed to get an architect’s plan chest for the shop! 🥳

I’ve been wanting one since forever and finally one appeared over the weekend on FB Marketplace that was 1. Still available and 2. Affordable

All the big sheets of Pastelmat, Pastelgrain, mountboard and paper are nice and tidy in there now. Plus it means I can buy some A2 pads as I’ve got somewhere to put them.

I’ve not moved things around too much. 😂
