Just a reminder Gentlemen this will be the last week that you will be able to get that special someone a Gift Certificate. Ladies don't forget your men, they like to have their feet done as well.

The search begins for the perfect studio assistant. It’s a very part time position at around 15-16 hours a week to start. Over time there is definitely potential to grow as the business grows. This isn’t a great job for someone looking to get rich, but it is the perfect job for someone looking to earn some extra money and preferably has some experience with clay, is an art student, or anyone who’s motivated and likes getting dirty making things with their hands. Send us a message or stop by the shop for an application. Yes, we are old school and still have paper apps. 😅

Edit: Actually I’ve just been informed that we have online applications available now! 😂

I have a few openings tomorrow if anyone is needing in.

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business. 👊🏽

Running a business is really hard.
What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid-back people. 🙅🏽‍♀️

People will talk about you, 🗣️compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore. 🥹

Friends and family will expect discounts 💲and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.🥲

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message 📤 someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work-life balance.
You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All while being a puppy parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend...

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed.
It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.❤️‍🔥

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives.
Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

And know that 2022 prices are not 2023 prices 💔 and are not going to be 2024 prices.
