If you’ve followed me from the start, you will know that the reason I started my business in the first place was so that I could earn an income with flexible hours around my husband and my children.

I’m now 3 years into my business and I have started to see a pattern of winding down over the summer months. Not many orders come in during August as everyone is off enjoying time with their families, and so I have decided that it is the perfect time for me to do exactly that!

I am taking 3 weeks off from making jewellery during the first three weeks of the school holidays (18th July – 5th August).  The business won’t close completely during this time, print kits for new orders will still go out and emails will get answered.  My phone will be going off and my hands will be taking a rest though!

Priority orders will be suspended during this time and any prints that come back during this time will be logged and acknowledged when I am ready to start making jewellery again.

I’ve got some exciting things planned with my husband and kids during my time off, I’ll tell you all about it when I come back.
