This week has involved a lot of meetings…. Meetings with our lovely partners from Patchwork (making plans for the new events etc), A Meeting with our newly formed group “Rosehips and Teacups”… (more about that soon) and meetings with people that are helping us to develop and set up the new Homewood Bound Tea room…

We were in Manchester on Monday doing some buying for the shop, we were lucky enough to get some lovely vintage finds, including some gorgeous old school cupboards…

Lots of customers orders are coming through after Christmas! Here is a picture of a very happy customers beautiful oak dresser…

As you probably all know the Castle Hotel in Ruthin is just about to open its doors after a huge refurbishment (now owned by Wetherspoons) we have had tickets to call and say hello before the grand opening. It was lovely to see ‘Nell’ the new manageress here at Homewood Bound. She is John’s Niece and a very lovely young lady trying hard to engage with the community… ‘Good Luck Nel’!!!

Last summer we had an audit/inspection from Cath Kidston head office. All stockists had to be interviewed and lots of questions were asked and photographs taken of stock/displays and the shop in general. Last week we had a letter from London to say that we had been given the green light and that Cath Kidston was ‘delighted’ to carry on doing business with us. As you can imagine we were very proud and found out that many stockists had failed … the company is becoming very strict and continues to expand rapidly and on a world wide scale.
