Bringing Sustainable, Beautiful, Practical Items to Families & Their Homes

The drive: What challenges have you overcome? 

It has been a completely different skill set for me. I have loved learning lots of new skills, but at the same time it has been really challenging at times. I had been doing my previous job for many years, and most of it was second nature. This has been a whole new learning, but I have loved teaching myself new skills, and although I have many days when I feel out of my depth, if I look back to where I started, I see how far I’ve come and how much I’ve learnt. I’ve definitely made mistakes along the way, but I hope I have turned them into positives to move forward with! 

For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business? 

I love being my own boss, and being available for the girls when they need me. My husband has his own barber shop, so he is unable to leave work at short notice if they need us, so me having that flexibility works well for us. I love the pride I have in having built something up myself from scratch, and I hope it continues to grow for many years to come.  

The flip side of that is the lack of consistency and security in income, especially in these uncertain times. The inability to shut my head off to it when I’m not actively working can be a struggle too, but I’m working hard on that!  

Hopes and dreams: What next? 

I want to carry on finding beautiful, sustainable products for families, while finding more innovative, exciting suppliers to work with. I’m loving the journey so far, and hope for more of the same!
