Opening day!!

Well didn't that go well! I really cannot express how pleased I am at how our opening day went, im not entirely sure what I was expecting, but this was so much more! We started at 9am with a mad dash for cake before the photographer arrived at 9.30, I made it just in time with just one hole in my tights! Well you have to have cake right??

Lots of people came down for the day, including my lovely sister all the way from Northampton, Sarah from www.silverbirchcrafts.co.uk, Cari Wilkins our calligrapher, Michelle Fuller our photographer and far too many tweeters to mention! And of course the people just passing in the street. It really was a rather busy day. Things are flying off the shelves! I wont waffle on too long - I could go for hours about nothing. I'll just leave you with some of the photos of the day. 










Oh and also..... Some people really are missing a trick here! A couple of people have dropped out of having shelf space just a couple of days before opening, which means I have some shelf space available!

We have been open just 2 days and around 60% of our renters have made at least one sale. Some have made many many more!

If renting some space interests you please see http://handmadehighst.co.uk/index.php?main_page=about_us

Im afraid there is no more room for jewellery, cards or bath products though.

  6. Tiffany glasses are one of the most popular collections among the Hollywood stars. A lot of cinema stars, singers, actors and other celebrities adore and wear these glasses.
