Annnnd just like that … it’s all done and dusted 😳😭
After almost 15 years at a job that’s brought me so much laughter, joy and grey hairs 👵🏽 … it’s over 🥺
The curtain has closed on this chapter of my life 😎🎉

Thanks so much to all that have contributed big or small to the success of this most beloved store ❤️

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou from all the corners of my heart ### 😍🙋🏽‍♀️

I’ve got a massive list of those I need to thank but it would take me two weeks lol 🤭😢

Les, where do I start … I love you … thankyou for your encouragement on this journey ❤️
And mum … Malo aupito 🥺 … at almost 77, on all your days off work, you were there, slaving away with me … I couldn’t have done it without you too. 😞
You all know who you are, I couldn’t have done any of it with out you guys ### 😘

Ok so here goes … 🥺

As most of you know I’m an over thinker 🙄
And so, I’ve decided to retire from this extraordinary business that I’ve been able to run riot, go berserk and stir up shenanigans for almost 15 years. Its been a very hard decision to make, but going through all my options I’ve found this one to be the best thing for me … 🤔
It’s been an absolute fantastic ride and I’ve enjoyed each and every moment 🥳
Seriously, I can’t believe I’ve survived through Covid too right ?! 😂🤭… so I guess the decision to leave has been a good thing as it’s now on my terms 😉
I’m selling up ALL the stock, and so all the hire costumes will now be to buy. I’m hoping to get rid of the bulk of it all by the end of the year … so sadly this will be my last Christmas 🎅🏼
My last official day will be the first of January 2024 🎉
All remaining stock will go home with me or storage depending on how much is left lol 😉
I’m hoping that I can get rid of the bulk of the items before January, so if you need any last minute gifts for Christmas, please come take a look and grab a bargain 🥳🎅🏼

Because I have a month to clear everything, please don’t ask to hold items as I just want things moved quickly and people often forget to collect items that have been held 😩😞

So here we are … at the end of a remarkable and fun filled experience 🎈🎉
Thankyou to my amazing hubby Les who has put up with me through all the worry, all the drama, and all the money that has been lost 🫣🤑 thanks for always believing that I could do it hon … 😭❤️
Thanks also to my treasured family for all of your constant support … ❤️ I just love you all ###

Annnnd … To the customers that have become friends, and to all those that have treated me so lovely, it’s because of you guys that I’ve stayed as long as I have … Thankyou from the bottom of my heart x 🥰

Onward and upward 😎
