A new year

Wow, lots has happened since my last post.

For a start I have started to branch my business out, now makings lots of different products, ranging from napkin rings to wedding labels.

The wedding labels thing has taken off especially, and I'm in the process of marketing it at the moment. I've got into the kent wedding network and I did a wedding fair back in November, which gave me a good idea of what the market was like.

I have also received my grant money, allowing me to buy my hotfoiling machine, and some various other tools.

By far the biggest event however, was when I won an award at the Kent eco business awards in December for ' inspirational new eco business'

Over Christmas I fulfilled lots of orders, but the business is somewhat lower down in my priorities due to my impeding mock gcses.

Thanks for reading!

Ironically I'm off to do some business studies revision.

Really enjoyed reading your blog of how the business got started. The idea of the wedding tags is amazingly simple and yet they look so good. I've bookmarked the site for future use.
