Christmas is here. As I sit here at the shop in Historic Downtown Newnan in Georgia enjoying meeting new customers and seeing lots of loyal customers from around town. It is always a joy to have lovely and inspiring conversations and learn their stories or what they have been up to in the community. Even with the hustle bustle, the little Hug Box shop on the corner is always cozy and peaceful for those moments and a place for some fun shopping of local artisan goods.
And as of the day after Christmas through Jan 3, the shop will be closed (online orders are still available for shipping, local delivery and curbside pickup) and I will be cleaning, painting, organizing, planning and designing the new creative workspace in the back of the shop. I am so excited to have more community here at this happy space and provide creative workshops by my local artisans and fine artists from Drawing Fundamentals, Watercolor, Crocheting, Painting, Branding Basics, How to Create Your Own Shopify Site and more! All levels from advanced to just plain fun! The creative space is cozy and quaint for small groups - better for more attention from the teacher, getting to know new people and having fun with family and friends.
It has been a long last couple of years for all of us, so I look forward to bringing this opportunity to the community to get out and have some good old fun, to be creative. learn new skills, develop your small creative business and let out some stress in a happy and healthy environment.
Merry Christmas! May you have a very joyful time with family and friends and a blessed 2022!
Big Hugs!
