hi everyone - I hope your weekend was enjoyable - john and I spending long days working away - feeling good about our progress. So I mentioned this month is the celebration of eight years of bookhou and that I would celebrate with a week of giveaways - a token of my appreciation for your kindness and support. I was taking a trip down memory lane thinking about my own journey into making handmade goods. I remember always being a maker and when I decided to make things to sell I was a teenager making jewellery to sell to my friends and when I first started selling to shops I did stationery goods and soon after that I started to incorporate sewing and then screen printing. my making journey felt complete when I met john and we shared the same passion for handmade clean and simple designs. I don't feel that eight years is a long time - I feel like we just started and I feel that our little business will continue to grow and flourish along with us.
