I have been extremely flat out this last month or so just cataloguing, pricing stock and catching up. Plus had two weeks holiday in Margaret River, WA and Creswick, Victoria. Two fabulously lovely places. Margaret River was considerably warmer.
While I was away I naturally checked out all the gifts shops in the area and was reasonably impressed with most. There was one gift shop in Ballarat however that totally blew me away with its excellence. It had a coffee shop at the rear and was just a fabulous place to be. I loved it. The owner must have put a lot of thought into the shop design because every single products looked as though the space had been custom built to take it. There were alcoves in the walls with downlights. Powered display plinths and stands and everything in just the right colour coordination. So nice. Harder for me to do being the only gift shop in a tiny town ( I do have to carry a wider range and cant just stick to ivory, black and red in my colour scheme but oh it looked so nice).
Anyway I came back with lots of great ideas.
Now I have to admit I have been extremely slack regarding this website and I apologize. Truth to tell I was waiting for the search engines to pick up the site before I did any more work and now that they have I had better get cracking again and get more of our fantastic products loaded up.
