Hi all,
Well I decieded to keep a blog to keep you all up to date with what we are up to at Lovinit! I hope you all enjoy reading it as our business grows.
A little bit about Lovinit Stationery and how it all started.
I have always had a passion for graphic design, and to be honest looking back, think that it has always been my vocation in life. After school I started at art college, but being a teenager with a need for cash, I got a part time job as a junior beauty therapist which I did in the evenings and Saturdays to help me fund my way through college. Slowly but surely I took on more hours in the salon and somewhere along the line ended up packing in art college for beauty college!
Always the ambitious type, working for someone else did not do it for me, so in 1994 I set up my own salon, which I still have to this day.
I loved my job and particularly loved the promotion and branding side of the business. I designed and printed, price lists, gift vouchers, flyers and got lots of great comments from clients and friends. I found myself being asked by other people if I would consider doing their business stationery, so I thought why not and I LOVED IT!
Fast forward 16 years . . . A regular client came into the salon one afternoon and said she had been looking for a card for her grandsons 1st birthday and she could not find a nice one, so asked if I would make one for her. I did, and she loved it, this then led on to me making and selling cards in the salon.
Cards led to invitations and well the rest is history really. I now work in the salon part time and work doing my stationery the rest of the time. So that is how lovinit happened and it is now a very busy little business I have on my hands, and I am lovin it!!!!!
