A good month

I'm not very good at the whole marketing thing. I don't really know anything about it, except as a (enthusiastic) consumer. I've been meaning to try to get together some sort of press release thingy for ages but don't know where to start. I use Facebook quite a lot because that feels quite friendly,  I LOVE Pinterest  but I sometimes feel like I'm just talking to myself on Twitter. Until this month social media was pretty much the only promotion I was doing.
However, in the last few weeks I've been lucky enough to have my work featured in Sussex Life Magazine, a lovely piece in Etc Magazine , a nice mention on one of my favourite style blogs, Homegirllondon, and the icing on the cake today, a lampshade in Stella Magazine, the Sunday Telegraph's fabulous life and style supplement. It's only little and perched atop a huge lamp stand and you can't really see it to be honest but it's there! They helpfully put a big flashing arrow next to it to so you can find it more easily.
 So that feels like progress. Sales are good, getting lots of repeat customers and really enjoying every single aspect of running a business. Except trying to run a business in the school holidays. That's hard. Oh well, only another 12 years.
