Yey - we've made it!! Ochre & Ocre are officially 1 year old today! I have to admit there were several times when I didn't think we would make it this far - and its been a difficult time to start a business. But I've learnt so much more in the last year, far more than I would have learnt if I had stayed at Next.
So its only right I say a little thank you to a few people who have been really supportive and helped Ochre & Ocre get this far; Phillippe Oligario and team from Blue Earth Solutions, for putting up with my constant questions, additions to the site. (Thanks for adding the GWG guide banner this weekend!). Having a "shop" that not only looks good but that works is vital for an online business.
A big thank you has to go to Lindsey Joyce - graphic designer extraordinaire - she put together the look for the logo, and all our packaging, and has been a huge support. She also is quite good at telling me off if I don't follow her strict design rules!!
Obviously our suppliers have been a huge support, Adriano and Pedro in Portugal, for delivering a fantastic quality product. Doug for his lovely beeswax candles, and Kim for the amazing lavender. Plus many others....thank you to you all!
Finally a massive thank you has to go to my hubbie - Paul, as he has supported me both emotionally and financially on this venture - and we used to wonder what we did in our spare time. Now those long evenings fly by when we are making swatch cards!
But enough of the Oscar speech - we've still got a long way to go, and a lot more hard work ahead of us - onwards and upwards!!
