Well, not really sure what to say to be honest...

...What a week and a half! I had planned to write this post the day after the opening, and in fact had written half of it, but it has been such a whirlwind since then I never managed to finish it! And I am still feeling slightly overwhelmed by it all!

I absolutely could not have done any of it without Mr Sconch, my little work experience helpers who helped leading up to the day, Liz and Karen at the Ignite Enterprise Centre, the team at Merry's, my lovely neighbour Sharon who came to help at the last minute, and the amazing Rachael from Foxglove and Gingersnap...I don't think I have forgotten anyone...

So here is my round up!

I had been getting increasingly nervous as the days went on that nobody would turn up. Was this going to work? What if I didn't get enough drinks and nibbles? Even worse, what if I was catering for too many and in fact nobody turned up?!

If you follow the Facebook page, you will know that it got a little stressful as it got closer, with more and more late nights, involving the Sconchlet sleeping in the warehouse in her cot!

Thursday morning was no exception, with it being all hands on deck - including neighbours and staff at the Enterprise Centre, and lots of running round trying to fix things - a back end computer system that had gone down, price labels not done, a broken printer...

But we got there in there in the end! (well, 15 minutes later than planned, but fashionably late is the expected thing, right?!)

The display stands were ready...

The shelves were full...

We even had a big pink ribbon that some crazy woman had to cut... (oh dear!)

There were crowds!

There was happiness and relief...

There was yarn bombing!

There was gossiping with 'Facebook Friends'...

And posing...

There were amazing cakes and nibbles (the cakes had my logo on!)!

There was a very tired me...

And so, there was a Sconch Textiles shop :)
