New venture.....

I've been hinting at a new venture in the offing for a while now. To be honest, even though I'd been thinking about it for ages, I didn't know if I'd have either the time or the energy to get it off the ground.  Enthusiasm for a project can only get you so far.

Also I have a long, distinguished history of doing this....

So I've been a bit cagey about saying much, just in case it didn't come off.  However, against all the odds, and despite having been ill TWICE since January, requiring a total of 10 days 'off work' to recuperate, I have done it.

Honestly, nobody is more surprised than me!

Here's the thing.... I've started a new small business.  It's very small.  Practically invisible at the moment, which is why I need your help.

My new venture is the quirkily titled Bunting &  Bows.  

Look..... I have business cards and labels and everything! 

There's lots more information on my new blog.....https://buntingandbows.blogspot.com/
There are only two posts there at the moment but it will give you the lowdown.

I also have a Bunting & Bows Facebook page... HERE where there is currently a giveaway to win a one-off string of vintage style bunting.

Last, but not least, I have listed the first of hopefully many more lovely buntings (is that the plural of bunting????) in my new Folksy shop.... HERE.

Just a few to start with but I'm aiming to add new buntings each week.

So, could I ask a favour of you lovely blog readers?  Could you visit my Folksy shop and 'Favourite' it.  (see below)  You don't have to buy anything (honestly) but the more I'm 'Favourited', the more visibility I'll get.  I don't really understand how it works.... algorithms, or arcane dark magic or something.  Anyway, if you do that I'd be very grateful.

And if you enter the FB giveaway, good luck!  As an additional incentive, Small Dog has been persuaded to come out of retirement to draw the winning name on Leap Day, 29th February.

What could possibly go wrong..... 😉
