Ten days ago I picked up the keys for the first Backstitch premises and since then it has been non stop painting and lugging, cutting and folding, unpacking and rearranging.  Not to mention a good two days of wrangling with my darstedly IT system and a children's birthday party thrown in for good measure.  But, tomorrow I will be taking down the paper at the windows and gingerly opening the door of Backstitch Bricks & Mortar. Nothing has a price on it, there is much that is not on the system properly yet, but I am going to give it a go... welcoming customers in through the doors. We have a Grand Opening Day planned for Saturday 15th March when there will be a little more fanfare, and I may (or may not) have even worked out how to use the till.  We are also offering 10% off all stock over the opening weekend if you bring along a print out of the flyer that is the image in this blog post. Be gentle with me and wish me luck... cause I'm sure gonna need it!!
