Hello from Exeter

naturalnursery · #1 (**permalink**) 06-05-2008, 20:56

I don't think I have actually introduced myself - been lurking around for a bit but been so busy I haven't joined in much.

I am Arabella and I run a website selling organic and fairly traded products for babies and young children. We have been established for coming up for 5 years now and have had our ups and downs.

We have just moved to Exeter where we now have a lovely big garden (all that digging is a great antidote to sitting at a 'pooter). We will very soon have a new version of the site go live, this one using ekmpowershop so if anyone has any top tips, I would be grateful.

our new logo has been designed by Sarah who I think comes on here too?

We will be kicking off some PR soon too so any suggestions welcomed.

I have recognised some names here but looking forward to getting to know more of you.

Arabella

Hello Arabella

What a great introduction!

I agree with you on the gardening front. I spent two hours early on Saturday morning in the garden before giving in to the demands of the computer. I was kept company for most of that time by a very tame and friendly robin.

One of the best ways to start the day

Look forward to seeing you around the forums.

Hi Arabella

Great to have you join and be part of A1! I am both a keen gardner and we use EKM occationally, so hope I can be of help!

Look forward to you getting more involved.

All my best

Hi Arabella. Aw, why did you lurk for so long?? Are we really that scary? It's nice to have you at long last anyway. I probably don't need to tell you that everyone's crazy but they are a really lovely, helpful bunch. So welcome and enjoy- c'mon, get stuck in!

Ditto until my cat realised there may be benefits to sitting next to me while I am digging!

Sarah aka Miskellaneous? - if so then yes, she is a member and a very good designer.
