I have been running my print and greeting card business for a few years now and I realised the other day that while I don’t stop banging on about cards, I haven’t yet spoken about how you can actually display them! I used to be from the school of just put them wherever you can, which generally means squeezing them onto already cluttered shelves or mantlepieces. Now there's nothing wrong with this but they can get visually lost and with space now at a premium (how do kids have so much stuff?!) this is getting harder and harder. As it was my daughter Vivi's second birthday last week I thought it would be a good opportunity to find some better ways of displaying...
Technology is so wonderfully brilliant in so many ways. My business, for example, wouldn’t be where it is today without it and I’m convinced that there is an app to help you with almost anything you could want! It can also help us remember all of our friends’ birthdays, but what you do with that reminder is then up to you! Obviously it is incredibly easy to fire off a text wishing your friend a happy birthday, and being the owner of a greetings card company, you could call me biased, but I do genuinely believe that it is important for friendships to send physical birthday cards. Whether we are sending to friends that we see all of the time...
With it rapidly approaching a year (can you quite believe it?!) that we have had to live what could never be considered to be a normal life, I thought that it would be nice to share some positivity, specifically around why colouring in can be considered good for you!
Ever since becoming a mother myself I have developed a new found respect for both of my parents but specifically my mum (just the fact that she carried and birthed twins fills me with awe!).
