And here we are, day one of Hopetown & Hunter, I can’t tell you how delighted I am. Delighted, excited and so, so thankful. So, I could write about my gorgeous website, my whimsical naming of necklaces or how the thought of TikTok sends me into a spin! But no. All of those things whilst important today pale into insignificance when I think about the generosity, kindness, fun and sheer joy I have had over the last few months.

People
You have been amazing. Strutting around our little town in the November cold for our product shoots whilst storm Arwen raged; allowing me to gate crash your businesses, and hijacking your clients, all the while clicking cameras. You never questioned wearing a Minnie Mouse, plastic rabbit or Russian doll. You have been tolerant and patient and I love you! Partciular thanks to the special locations below.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
From website building, photography, content writing, printing services, mentors and supporters I applaud you all. Turning my frantic gibberish into the thing of beauty and something that I am very proud of. Particular thanks to those below

You have my heart. You have shown me what community means with your hub of little businesses and like-minded people, an unexpected gem. Coupled with your charm and beauty, this is somewhere I can truly call home.

CUSTOMERS
Lastly my customers present and future. I hope that you find as much joy and mischief in my necklaces as I do making them. You are the reason why I am here. I cannot put into words the feeling I get when I see one of my pieces being worn. Sheer happiness.

Hopetown & Hunter is all about making heirlooms, putting life back into the forgotten and forging new memories, ones to be treasured.

Love Lindsey xxx
