And just like that… we’ve been open 3 years 🥹🧡
Have I arranged anything to celebrate?
No.
Obviously not. 😂
Three years of Rebel & Ashby.
Three years, two shops, two awards, lots of lovely people met, lots of laughs… and yes, a few tears too.
There have been days when I’ve thought what on earth am I doing?
Days when I’ve wanted to pack it all in.
Days when it’s felt like the hardest job in the world.
And then someone walks through the door, tells me how much they love the shop, buys something they’ve been eyeing up for weeks, or just stops for a chat… and I remember why I started it in the first place. 🧡
Have we figured out the world of retail?
Not. At. All. 😂
But we’ve learnt a lot. We’ve changed, grown, moved, learnt some very expensive lessons, picked up two awards along the way and somehow kept going.
And honestly, I’m incredibly proud of that.
Thank you to every single person who has supported us over the last three years. Whether you’ve shopped with us, shared a post, recommended us, sent a friend our way, followed along online or just popped in for a chat you’ve helped get us here.
Three years. Two shops. Two awards. One slightly knackered but very grateful shopkeeper. 😂
I genuinely couldn’t have done it without you.
So… thank you. 🧡
And now I suppose I’d better organise that bloody celebration… 😂🥂
