It was really one of those days… 💀 Previous to this disaster I had already knocked (accidentally punched) over a pint or two of fresh milk in the office/kitchen whilst attempting brews ☕️ You best believe I was very careful the rest of the day as the girls pointed out these things come in threes 🫣

🍂 Our autumn windows have arrived 🍂

Definitely one of my favourite windows to do… Keep your eyes peeled as things will be getting more autumnal and witchy soon enough. ☕️

A flying visit to Harrogate Trade show the other week. It’s so lovely to see our suppliers face to face and find some new stockists too. 👀

On Ohh Deer’s stand we got to open fortune cookies to have a chance for some discount. That was a good laugh!

We had a day trip to London last week for a Jellycat buying event. We got to see some amazing new Jellies that will be coming this year as well as some favourites. So stay tuned 😉 After that we had lunch and a leg stretch, including spotting a Banksy or two before hopping back on the train.
