New Shop on Melbourne Grove-Fairies and Floozies -Open 19 Sept

[nico1]

Hi Guys,

Ive started a new thread to make sure everyone sees the opening date, the shop is looking great and all of you are welcome to come and take a look. I cant stress just how nervous I am and would love any further suggestions on spreading the word. Slowly I have built up the brands but I am also stocking a number of new independant young designers as Id love to give them exposure and stock unique items. I have already set up a facebook group and page so please look and join. I will be placing pics up and communicating through the group quite a lot you can also mail [email protected] once I open I will be having a launch event so I will keep you posted. There will also be other events like styling evenings and swapshops as I want to have a bit of a different vibe. There will also be an opening offer to obtain a Dulwich discount card, please email or join the groups, I will also offer student discount. I look forward to seeing you and any suggestions are welcome.

Nick

You may want to say what you are selling. At the moment I don't think that it's that clear whether you are opening a toy shop or a clothes shop or a specialist fantasy / sci-fi shop.

[nico1]

right let me make it clear, fairies and floozies is womens clothes shop which will also sell bags,belts,jewels,hair accesories and as of today a handmade limited edition underwear range.

nico1 - I am very excited about this, and did remember (unlike Gimme) that it's women's clothes. Hurrah - have shuftied at and joined facebook page and I want me one of those wolf t-shirts

[WickedStepmother]

I love the name.

Though I think if you're really going to live up to it you may need to stock both pretty pink sparkly wings and outrageously baroque purple silk corsets with matching garters. Put my name down for half a dozen ;-)

Nice one Nico, good luck.

[thexwinglessxbird]

Oooh... you could be selling my clothes one day :))Thank you for the information, Nico. I will definetly be sure to check it out!

[cate]

Admin, aren't you going to move this to the Business section of the forum?

[Administrator]

Not straight away no, I think it will give this new local venture a bit of a helping hand to be in this section for a short while.

Hi Everyone, Would just like to let everyone know Fairies and Floozies is now open and I would love everyone to pass by and let me know what you think. The shop is looking great and the reaction has been fantastic so far, I have an opening promo on at the mo so please spread the word and pop in to make the most of it.

What are the opening times please? I walked past the other evening and it looks great from the outside! Thanks

How did you "remember" that it was a women's clothes shop, RosieH?

The first thread didn't mention the words 'women' or 'clothes' once!!!

You must have remembered it from a conversation in the pub or when you were getting your nails done ;-)

I was trying to be helpful and nudge Nico1 into revealing the vital piece of information missing from the original post...

Of course, now I've found out it's a women's clothes shop, I've no interest whatsoever :))

Is probably from this thread Nico's original thread that RosieH knew it was a woman's clothes shop - rather than the slightly underhand methods you suggested Gimmie - even in Nico's opening post on this thread he mentions a previous thread he'd started.

[Gimme]

"even in Nico's opening post on this thread he mentions a previous thread he'd started"

Where? I've re-read it twice and no mention of a previous thread springs out...

"Ive started a new thread" could imply this if you saw a previous thread but given that the option for starting a thread on the menu bar is called "Start New Thread in this section", every thread is a new one, whether there was a previous one or not.

So I must be missing something - which is exactly what your mail implies - or else, it just isn't clear at all.

Clarity, my dear Buggie, clarity! It's all I seek!

[Moos]

Gimme, you raised a reasonable point in your first post on this thread, but it feels as though you're taking it a little off topic now.

[LuLu Too]

Good luck with the shop Nico 1.

I look forward to checking it out & treating my self!

Gimme a break.............Sheeeeeeeeeez

W**F

[Gimme]

Yeah, probably...

Just doing the usual EDF thing of defending myself over several posts against people who make pointless accusations or chippy comments for no good reason at all. Surely this is a tradition on EDF! ;-)

Nonetheless, it's keeping this thread near the top of the page which can only be good for publicity.

There was only one person making pointless accusations and chippy comments.....

That's the spirit Admin...and who ever said Admin had no heart? ;-)

[niknak]

Hi Nico1 - What days/times is the shop open? I wandered over around noon earlier for a browse and the shop was shut. Couldn't see any times in the window either :-(

Surely you don't mean me? Accusations???? Accusations of not remembering?

Goddamn I'm harsh, and not a little chippy.

It's a cool shop run by a cool guy. I had a customer today who was absolutely delighted with a bracelet she had bought. I do still think that there is a market for a teenage and mens range in the area though Nick!

[nico1]
