Hi hello hi!
Just me having a party-for-one over here, celebrating the fact that this is going to be the 50th blog post for Janey!
For the next two weeks, I’ve put together a little round up of what exactly those 50 posts involved…
I will include links on each one to the original post, so if any spark your interest and you haven’t already, please do go and have a read!
So let’s get going, and wind back the clock to August 2020!
First up was Alicia from Olive & Ochre, who launched the business in August 2020 and has since worked super hard to get it to what it is today. She’s a dried florals expert and is has a fantastic eye for colour!
