2 years ago i bought Lottiesbotties.co.uk i ran the business by myself for a year then we moved and i kept lb's closed. my domain is due to expire at the end of the month and i have been having a really hard think about if i want to carry on LB's. I made everything myself including cloth nappies and covers, wrap slings, childrens clothes, personalised blankets and cozytoes, bibs etc etc. the domain of lottiesbotties was very very limited and i didnt really think of that when i bought it. the domain didnt suit the shop when i decided to start making other things, so im giving it up.
last year i bought the domain totsandteds.co.uk thinking i could start a different shop perhaps selling other peoples things, but never got round to it.
ive been thinking hard about where im going to go now. When we move, the baby is still to small for me to really open up again yet but i think perhaps in the summer we may launch again. so i have just bought www.slingthatbaby.co.uk im trying to source some material for woven wraps, im going to create my own babywearing bag and maybe some other stuff.. perhaps stock someone elses meitais.. i dunno.. i need to think a whole lot. but there we go.. i feel sad that im giving up lottiesbotties. but im not interested in putting a lot of effort in for hardly any money. so nappies arnt going to work for us anymore.
Slingthatbaby sounds brilliant!! Cannot wait to see what you are going to do with it, your ideas so far sound great. I'm really hoping to start something myself this year, scary isnt it? Good luck with the move!! xx
