Roll up, roll up - gifts, scents, and a bit of glitz


And not a sci fi or horror object in view - shocker huh? ..... One or two fairies, but very limited. For those that know me you may be gob-smacked but I thought it made good business sense to target the older customer that seems to dominate our good market. There appeared to be a distinct lack of occasional giftware, so thats the road I took. These regulars I love em to bits, many a good chin wag have I had with the older customers. Ive' bowed to convention and also got in the scented drawer liners, fragrant sachets, and even ordered some anti moth stuff. It really is a case of 'granny knows best' :) Amazingly I have had some gifts brought off me recently that now reside in Australia, Worcester, Leicestershire and Ireland. Strangely it never even crossed my mind prior about the market, and the city itself, getting tourists and visitors. Funny that.

Witterings

It's been a while since I have updated but Ive' been extremely busy with my new market stall. It's been just over a month since I started my new business, and it looks promising, so I'm optimistic. I specialise in general gifts and special gifts for occasions, such as christenings, weddings etc...... Also I supply home fragrance ware such as scented candles, wax melts, pot pourii and room mist sprays.

I enjoy it, and it gives me a creative outlet in the buying and stall displaying process. Im forever scouring for new and unusual gifts to sell, and Im looking forward to creating a lovely xmas display towards the end of the year. But most of all I love chatting to customers, and its amazing the amount of interesting people I get to meet.

I havent had much time to personally create much, as my business is in its infancy, and it takes a lot of my time up. However, I have done a number of preliminary sketches, and hope to have something to put up on here and at my galleries at Elfwood and Epilogue soon.

I have plans to eventually have an online outlet for my other artistic pursuits, such as the sculptures, rustic art work and art dolls. And as always I am also always open to any commercial commisions for my digital fantasy and Sci-fi art.

Thats all for now folks - cheerio :O)
