What a wonderful start! 🍭💜
When we opened the doors to our Community Art, History & Creative Gallery, I really didn’t know what to expect. It has been so lovely seeing people coming in, having a look around and enjoying what we have created.
With the school holidays here, it has been so much fun watching the kids choose their old-school lollies. As we fill their bags, we’ve been getting them to count along and add up each 5-cent lolly as it goes in. Seeing how surprised and excited they are when they realise just how many lollies they can get has been wonderful to see. 🍬
Then off they go on their bikes, proudly showing each other — “Look at my bag!”
It’s exactly the old-school lolly experience we hoped to bring back.
We’ve also had locals and tourists dropping in, and it has been lovely hearing how much they’ve enjoyed looking around. The positive feedback we’ve received about what we’ve created here has meant so much to us.
Loraine Backman’s beautiful animal portraits have been getting plenty of attention, our handmade knitted cardigans, booties, beanies and blankets have been catching people’s eye, and the Sherwood jams, chutneys and relishes have been a real hit too.
And that’s only a little of what you’ll find here — there is so much more to explore and discover. 💜
Thank you to everyone who has called in, supported our creators, made a purchase or simply stopped for a look and a chat. Thank you for making our first few days so special.
We really couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful start. 💜
