All good things....

The Cherry Tree girls x

 What a month for emsOriginal! As many as you may have heard, the lovely shop 'The Cherry Tree' in Knutsford will be shutting its little door for the final time soon, a mixture of reasons including the difficulties faced in these economic times and it really has struck a cord to how many of our lovely indie shops are being driven out off the high streets and advised to simply join the online world. I am a true supporter of the independents and it saddens me to think of a faceless brand moving into all our lovely little shops. Independent shops don't just exist to retail, but they provide expertise and knowledge of the products they are selling as the owners of these little shops have a real passion and love for what they do. It has been a beautiful shop and with the support of the owner Sara Hoodfar, it has been the stepping stone for my business and I will forever remember this little haven within the village I grew up in and in turn a shop that helped me grow my business to the success it is today! I am sure the owner Sara will go on to create and inspire more with her amazing eye for something beautiful and unique and her support for other graduates and artists just like me!

emsOriginal is taking the first steps into the big wide world! I will be moving from the Cherry Tree in the next few weeks and working from my humble abode till I find that perfect little studio in cheshire to operate from- as soon as I have news I will be updating all my lovely customers! Please don't hesitate to get in touch with orders during this time, I am offering a free postage and delivery service (in Cheshire) from Monday 16th July till the end of August to help during the big move so look forward to hearing your new design ideas soon and I will get creating! Please email ems@emsoriginal.com - if you do require a design consultation and a meet that is no problem I can still meet in and around Knutsford and so will look forward to seeing you soon!

This year I feel is going to be a big year for emsOriginal, I have lots of ideas and I can't wait to get down to creating, and for all wedding customers there will be a few treats in store too!

Please follow the blog for more updates! Speak soon!

A little thought at the end of the day....

Love love love this!
(This lovely motto is available in the Cherry tree in Knutsford)

Not that long ago i was wading through the pages on twitter when i suddenly saw a tweet that led me to a Blog Spot that really caught my eye and i really have been talking about it ever since! Called http://dowhatyouloveforlife.com/blog/ It really is about doing things you love!

When i began my business in January 2011 my key drive for this was to achieve a greater happiness! (Hence my above image!!) When i sit and think about before I made my leap into the unknown I was sat in front of a computer in an office 9-5 feeling my creativity die by the day i really feel I have come a long way! I get up in the morning and absolutely love every minute of my day and feel like I am finally coming back to life!

After a year of getting back full time into my art, it really is the love of my life and with my heart and soul involved I can finally see the endless possibilities to my work and have confidence for the first time in a long time! I also think of the fantastic opportunities I have been given and the people that support me everyday and really believe in me and I really have nothing to complain about!

I do not have a second to think about anything else and I think I am lucky enough to be in the very small minority that can say they absolutely love going to work! Its not work when its what you love its like a permanent holiday, yes at the moment life is good! xx
