I started making pretty handmade gifts which I sold online, hosting home parties and attending events to get my brand established. The next step was my shabby loft shop at Woselely, 6 months later I took over the Tea hut. Finally after a year and a half I merged the two. 

With the business growing I moved to open Blithbury Vintage Tearoom where I had great success, but after 2 and a half years I nearly lost everything.
Not ready to give up and staying strong I made the move again just over two years ago. Creating the Vintage Tearoom at Hawkesyard... 

It was time to start again, bringing together everything I had created over the years and pushing for what I’d always dreamed of.

My fiancé came on board and became a part of my journey, every step of the way by each other's side.   We took a very big risk but my dream now became our dream and was growing by the minute.

It's taken lots of hard work, drive, challenges, determination, focus and positivity. I've been through every emotion and learnt things everyday, not forgetting sacrificing our personal lives! We're making the most of our adventure, pushing it more as we go.

We find everyday very overwhelming and couldn't be more thankful as this is down to so many people showing love and support making this happen for us to get us where we are today.

2020 and Covid-19 brought us new challenges, we really thought we’d lose it all but with your support through lockdowns, rules of six, tiers (literally tears!) and many, many rule changes we made it. You’ve all helped make our ‘cakeaway’ takeaway service a success and we’re grateful we can open our doors to you all again.

          It's been a pleasure sharing it with you all along the way thank you.
