where it all began
carry me home is now a multi home kinda business..we have our little shop..we have a website..we have other stockists..but it all began some years ago at spitalfields market in the east end of London…and you know what, we can still be found there 2 times a week..come rain or shine…there is a roof over our heads but until recently this did not mean we did not get rained on..
on the stall we only sell the carry me home collection, and over the years we have built up a nice steady stream of regular customers from the surrounding sky scrapers and city offices that seem to pop up over night..
and its from this market that we have found some of our most succesfull independant designers..we are in an enviable postion to offer designers a space to sell ther goods..and this all helps to create the unique environment that is our current main place of activity..the shop…but we know that without this little metal framed stall..we might not be here at all..
it was too darn hot.
so its been a while since our last blog…and its because the boss was on holiday and left me in charge of the shop..and i was soooo busy i did not have time to write about anything…well she is back now from Greece and is cracking the whip and getting me back in shape and this new post is to show whilst some of us were hard at work…others were sunning themselves in far away places…just look how nice it is…
and just look at the smile on Gayle’s face..all sun kissed and glowing..happy and content…or is it sun stroke ?…you decide…either way I’m jealous… oh and thanks for the sweets..one word… YUM.
and now that the wheels on this organ are now fully turning again and me the monkey is slowly getting his act together, we both sat down and made some fab greetings cards from an old display we had in the window a while back…remember ?
well we picked some of the best images and turned them into all occasion cards, suitable for new babies, 1st birthdays, or any celebration, these cards are guaranteed to be unique and they are only available in the shop..never to be repeated…but don’t worry we have lots of images left just waiting to be given a new role..
