It's here, finally I can share with you all who and what are Betty & Grace. There have been tears and moments of self doubt but I am now ready to reveal what I have been up to!
I have always dreamt of having a pretty garden studio where I would design and make beautiful things to sell. For so many years I have tucked away my dreams or more recently had false starts. I guess I never really knew what it was that I wanted to design and make. But since taking a branding course earlier this year (more about that to come in another post), I now feel I have the confidence to try and make my dream a reality. I have also finally worked out what it is that I want to design and make and my three daughters are a huge inspiration in creating Betty & Grace. There is already a doll named after my youngest little girl and don't worry Amber and Lucy will be joining Kitty very soon. I have only launched with three products but already have planned lots more in the next few weeks!
So with a head full of ideas and yet to actually have the garden studio I have started the arduous journey of being a creative small business owner. I hope you will join me here to share the highs and lows and of course share your feedback about my creations.
Right, I need a cup of tea whislt I consider how to make my photos better! It never ends does it?!
Dreams should never be tucked away. We have to experiment and try out our ideas, or we will always wonder "what if.."
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of Betty and Grace and know you will do well with it. Wishing you all the best.

I love this post Zoe - so honest and real and I can absolutely relate - to the dreams, the self doubt, the TRYING IT! I also love that you have found the time and inspiration to do this off the back of our lovely branding course - I still have SO much I want to do following on from that.
ReplyDeleteSo many ideas and things bubbling away to which are nothing to do with Cottontails. I just need to clone myself a couple of times and I'm good to go!
How you do it all AND have children - wow!
Anyway, huge congratulations!
