Update ~ please read 🫶🏻
Hello lovely people, Natalie here 👋🏻 there’s no easy way to announce this but for a multitude of reasons, I have made the very sad and difficult decision to close . Please know that this decision was not made lightly, the business was coming up to it’s 2nd birthday, and the cases against continuing now seem to outweigh the cases for (when put simply, but a complex whirlwind in my head).
I will not be taking any more orders from this point on (apologies for any disappointment). All customers who have enquired for the next few months/2023 should have received an email from me, if not please check your junk email. Thank you to those who have already replied and for your kind words and love. Definitely brought a few tears to my eyes 🥹
Anyway, I have had the most amazing two years starting and (trying to) run this business. There has, of course been ups and downs, but I’ve learnt so much about business, worn so many hats and developed so many transferrable skills. The whole experience has been invaluable and I have learn so much about myself and my values, on so many levels!
To my lovely customers/followers ~ if have purchased a graze or booked a grazing table/luxe picnic, honestly, thank you so much for trusting me, a small business owner, to bring your visions to life and showing your support. If you’ve been following the businesses journey, whether it be from the beginning, middle or end, thank you for being there and showing your love in this little cosy corner of the internet, I feel so lucky to have had you here! 🌸
To my fellow business owners ~ you are doing something incredible, love yourself through your whole journey, and listen to your intuition and inner self 🌞
My favourite parts:
~ Seeing your reaction to the tablescaped grazes or luxe picnics 🧺
~ Reading your lovely lovely reviews 💕
~ Exploring my creativity; creating menus, grazing products, content and seeing the Fresh Alfresco brand grow and change (creative process) 🎨
~ And of course, eating ALL of the cheese and charcuterie I could 🧀🍇
But it’s time for a new adventure! Thank you and much love, Natalie X
