CARA will be celebrating its one year anniversary this October. Our first year has been fun and fulfilling but not without its challenges. We have attended a number of makers markets and craft fairs in our first year - some more fruitful than others, but that is the risk you take when running your own stall. You could either have a successful day of selling and make a profit (and maybe even cover your expenses) or it could be a total flop and you might not make a penny, let alone enough to cover the pitch fee or even the car park cost!
But running CARA as a joint business/hobby means that we are able to carry on being creative, share our new ideas, evolve the brand over time and most importantly continue to strengthen our friendship (and spend our earnings on cocktails..)
So what is next in store for CARA? Well we have finished all our market stalls for the summer and will be starting to think about our Autumn/Winter collection and planning some new Christmas designs ready for the festive period. We have 2 events coming up, both of which are as part of the North Norfolk Creative (Aldborough in November and a Wroxham Barns pop-up shop event in December), further details to come...
So finally, we'd like to thank you all for your support this year with our little business venture. We are full of ideas for the future and strive to carry on creating!
Love Catherine + Rachel
