This post highlights three St Joseph’s mums that have not only had the guts to set up on their own, but also then managed to make a success of themselves. I have had the pleasure of getting to know these ladies, all kind-hearted, decent and bright people that have found their niche in their respective markets, while also doing a fine job of raising well-behaved children and looking after their families. So huge props to them - ladies - I couldn’t do it myself!
Claire Pope shows her artistic flair in her customised crockery. Whether it be a personalised Santa plate complete with a spot for mince pies and a cheeky shot glass, named egg cups or (rumour has it) personalised Santa sacks (yes please Claire!!!) pop on over to Hot Plates to see what’s on offer. Mrs Pope’s talent is such that you can request a theme or character, and she can design something tailored to suit you.
Anita Headley brings back the happiness of a good old-fashioned seaside holiday to my heart. This lady has not one, not two, but three beautiful beach huts in the wonderfully unspoilt Walton-on-the-Naze. I can personally vouch for Anita’s great taste in interior design having spent a lovely day in Forget-Me-Not. Her attention to detail is incredible and the care and love put into designing, decorating and styling the huts is really to be admired. Why not book your beach hut day to remember and take advantage of this fabulous sunshine?
Nichola Brickell is a girl with style. And she wants the little ladies to have pretty things to wear too. Upminster and Hornchurch are screaming out for more quality and unique clothing for young girls so I was delighted to hear of Nichola’s venture. As a happy client myself, you can tell that Nichola has an eye for quality in her selection of this season’s key pieces. I now need her to stock in adult sizes too!
So why not check out these sites and partake in some of what’s available from great Essex enterprises. Come rain or shine, these business will have something to make you smile. Guaranteed.
