.....because nothing quite beats shopping from all the fab independents out there!

#shopindie #shopsmall #shopindependent
A text post which says This is why I've started Welcome to the Hi Street as both a maker and a customer I want to find out more about all the amazing shops and shopkeepers out there and discover new places to 'invest my money' aka treat myself and loved ones! With everyone feeling the strain at the moment if a share of a sale here or a natter with a shopkeeper there helps both makers and stores continue and to hopefully flourish then that's what I'll do! There’s also a pic of me a smiling white woman in the top right corner.

Here's more of my philosophy of the craft cycle and about starting welcometothehistreet.com all fully alt texted because accessibility is cool!
A text post which says As makers and shopkeepers we're all dependent on each other for our businesses to grow. I know my work will not suit every shop and vice versa but I also know that the more diverse and vibrant our high streets remain the more chances I and other makers have of finding ones that do!With this I then have more income which I can put back into my business to make more things and lets face it also spend with the very same indie shops, because they all stock such lovely things!!

Why did I start Welcome to the Hi Street? As makers & indie shops we’re all part of an incredibly important high street economy that keeps our communities thriving, I’ve put together a little diagram which I hope shows what I mean...
#shopindie #shopsmall #shopindependent
An illustrated diagram that shows the same woman wearing different outfits standing side by side one is wearing a makers out fit with painty apron and an arrow points down from her to a indie shop and next to the arrow says sell wares. An arrow from the shop then curves back round to the maker with text that says receives income. From the same woman but dressed in their non work outfit they’re holding shopping bags and an arrow curves from them back to the shop with text that says spends % of profit there is then another arrow pointing up from the shop to this woman with text that says nice things.
