How times have changed...
Kevin Pearce·September 22, 2020
A lovely new customer came into the shop yesterday, and mentioned that she had been reading our blog. I apologised that I don't blog much anymore - we really enjoy posting on instagram, but the blog has definitely taken a back seat for now.
Why is this? There are a number of reasons, but mostly it's time related. I used to blog when I was at home, twiddlling my thumbs, hatching new plans. But since we have started selling online, that time is now taken up with photographing pretty new things, editing the pictures and listing them on the website.
Also, instagram, that doesn't restrict the amount of text we can write like twitter does, just feels like a more natural place to communicate what is going on. We can post a picture and say as much or little about it as we like. Usually it's a little :)
Our lovely new customer kindly said that she had enjoyed reading the old blog posts, which, when I look back, gives some really interesting perspective in to how we started and who we were back then.
Reading back, I was convinced I was going to get a yellow satchel. I bought a red one. All of the cards we sold when we first opened were made by us, now less than 10% of the cards available in store are Berylune-branded (which is a good thing, we sell loads more cards now!).
