My husband considers me lovably eccentric, well I have to add the lovable in don’t I? When he suggested the shop name he was mildly horrified that I actually liked it – and why wouldn’t I – the name has the words cats and shiny in it. Metaphorically I’m a magpie, I collect lots of things (the shinier the better) and I love cats. The issue is, the name only means something to me.
But then so much about launching a small business (that really is Lilliputian in size) is uncertain and quite frankly, unnerving. Yet it has allowed me to be creative in a way I have not experienced for years; repurposing, making, searching and researching. What is new is the audience. I am a new born babe finding her feet for the first time and like most I’m not good at the “hey look at me, I am great”. However, it is only Day Five…and as you can see, my assistants (Buster on the left and Spots on the right) really don’t care.
