Well, our reusable advent calendars and quirky advent calendar cards anyway. I’ve been taking a few to our recent events and they’ve sold well, so I’ve gone ahead and ordered some more, including the very popular Reindeer Stables advent calendar.
I know for most of you it’s probably too early to be thinking of Christmas, but quite a few of our customers like to buy more unusual items when they see them, which is why I’ve started showcasing Christmas in July now. I will be bringing the new stock as soon as it arrives (probably early September) but I do have quite a few advent calendars still in stock, so if there is one you think is perfect for that special person, you can buy online or visit one of the local monthly markets we attend.
I’ve also got new card designs waiting in my basket. The plan is to have them for Crayke Village Market at the end of August, but we will have to see how things go – at the moment as fast as the cards sell, we are ordering more stock (which is a lovely position to be in!)
I’m so so grateful for how everyone has been supporting my business this year. When my dad got unexpectedly sick and passed at the beginning of 2024, I really thought I was turning my back on my greetings card business, but I was obviously meant to start again and rebuild. From the event organisers who have been so supportive and welcoming, to other stall holders, and my lovely customers, thank you. I am very excited for autumn 2024 and although Christmas will be a difficult time for my family, I’m hopeful that we can make 2025 even better.
