Cath Kidston Wallpaper

This weekend we used my two rolls of Cath Kidston Vintage Cars wall paper to pretty up the shop. I'm really pleased with the result.

The first week at the shop has been amazing. I really couldn't have asked for a better week. Long may it continue. 

The shop window

Today I received the Silver sewing Machines advertising paraphernalia to use in the shop. it has been a really exciting time setting up, and I have been open for a week now. 

I have had alterations in through the door every day, and haven't had time to stop. There has been great interest and the Workshops have started to be booked aswell. 

I am thrilled with the start. Onwards and upwards. 

Mooloos is Open For Business

Well I have done it!

I opened the shop yesterday, and I have had a great response, and plenty of jobs through the door already.! 

I hope the well wishers and all those who Enquired about lessons will soon be customers, and those who already put their faith in me will be returning soon!

I will take new photos for all to see over the weekend. It's just been so busy that I haven't had a moment yet. 

free desk

The landlord has given me a big desk, so that's set up in the shop, so I can sit in the shop and start to sew now. 

Can't open yet though as insurance doesn't start until 1st. 

Workshop Tables

Today we went to ikea and found two tables in the bargain basement. Saving me £200! Actually saved me all of it, as they were bought as a gift! Result. 

The Shop is coming along nicely!

I have the keys early, and have been spending a little time each day down at the shop getting it in ship shape condition ready to open in September

The top picture is the frontage. Although yesterday we sanded it down and re painted it.

I set up my Makes that I have had lying around at home. 

The middle floor is a small space, but has slats for retail, and a loo and changing room.

The top floor was being used as an office, but is now empty, and waiting for me to put in some desks. That is where the classes will be held. 

I hope to open around 5th September. 

My Own Shop

While I have been Abscent a while, so much has been going on. I have decided to take on the lease of a small shop to be able to expand what I do. 

I have so many plans, I just hope that I get it right! 

it is a small shop based in Brackley, the sweet shop and Baguette shop are to one side, and a shop/space that is a sort of community space that changes a lot. 

There is a Tea Room a few doors down.
