Well hello there!
As much as I love to hide behind my logo I really think the thing that sets small businesses apart from the 'big brands' is the fact that you know the person behind the products. I think sometimes we forget that these wonderful handmade products that we buy from places like Etsy, Folksy, Not On The High Street (to name a few) are made by a person, an ACTUAL person! Just one person who designs, makes, advertises, packs and sends. So maybe knowing a little about them isn't such a bad thing!
So here goes, 20 things about me! Not my small business, just me. The actual person who does ALL the things behind the logo.
1. I take forever to tell a story. Seriously, I take that long I forget what story I'm telling!
2. I have three wonderful (Most of the time) children. Elise 7, Rupert 4 and Stanley 2.
3. I have a beautiful, annoying, overweight beagle. We re-homed her in 2017.
My bed will never be my own again!
4. I really want to get married again (to the same person of course) but this time it would be full of macrame plant hangers and backdrops!
5. We are slowly doing our house up and are hoping to re-design the kitchen this year. Something I never thought we would achieve.
6. I really under estimate my husbands choice in TV box sets. He is forever recommending ones to watch (House, Sherlock Holmes, Dexter, Game of Thrones, Bones are just a few!) and I always think 'nahhhhh I won't like that'.
Well Mr Yard, I just want to publicly say, I'm sorry. you were right. Now hand me the remote and don't forget the snacks!
7. I have 5 brothers. They are both wonderful and annoying in equal measures.
8. I really hate roller-coasters. (Just in case you were thinking of inviting me to a theme park for the day.)
9. I've known my husband since I was about 8. He's one of my brothers best friends.
10. I have fibromyalgia. I don't really talk about it much because I don't want it to define me as a person. But sometimes life is really difficult because of it.
11. My music taste is basically random songs I can sing to while I do housework.
12. Having a small creative business is something I've always wanted to do but never thought I'd achieve.
13. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. I basically just eat breakfast things until tea time.
14. I find having to write 20 things about myself really blooming hard!
15. If I wasn't writing a public blog the word 'blooming' in the last point would be more colourful... I swear... ALOT.
16. I have never been on an aeroplane! My parents don't fly, never have and I don't think they ever will. Therefore we didn't do foreign holidays when I was younger. The longer I seem to wait to do the first flight, the more terrified I feel. I'm hoping that 2019 will be the year I finally do it!
17. 2019 is also the year I hope to finally learn to drive. My dad, believe it or not is a retired driving instructor. I just never got round to finishing my lessons with him and no matter how much a beg, he will not come out of retirement for me!
18. My mum is my best friend. I'm not sure what I would do without her!
19. When it's my turn to cook tea, I order a take away!
20. I really over use the exclamation point! but I don't care!!!!!!!!
That's it! 20 things you probably never knew (or actually wanted to know) about me!
I never knew it was that hard to think of 20 things! Phew!
Charlotte.
