June 15th is the day non-essential shops such as mine can open their doors again. Unfortunately, it is proving problematic in how I am able to provide the same service with the guidelines I know have to be followed to keep myself and my customers safe. I firmly believe these rules have to be followed and I am working on ways to do this safely. Here are my plans for my little boutique in Seven Dials.
It is a worrying time with our focus on our health, our loved ones - and our community.

I would sit in my mum's workroom - which she still has set up today - surrounded by fabrics and using the off cuts to make outfits for my dolls.
