Today was a busy day in the shop. Half term has brought some new faces into Hatherleigh. I love meeting these people, chatting & finding out where they're from and what they think of Devon. A selection of children filtered through today too, all of them extremely well behaved and cheerfully tolerating their mums indulgences in a 'girly shop'.
New people invariably bring new ideas too, and todays top tip has to go to a lady called Jenny who bought a selection of very pretty fabric pieces. When i quizzed her (as I do!) about what purpose she had in mind for them, she told me she always wraps gifts in fabric. Not only that but she includes a simple pattern to make something from the fabric. What a brilliant idea. As she says, the paper just gets thrown away but the fabric can be turned into a useful something, from a napkin to a little bag, depending on the recipients talents. Far more environmentally sound too.
