FOUR - #mybrilliantbrand Who I work with… • Oh gosh, I’m so lucky, I work with + meet the best people because of the shop. • I suppose there are 3 categories of people that I work with… ONE the designers + makers… without these guys I would have nothing on my shelves. Their creativity keeps my shop alive + full of beautiful products for my customers to buy. TWO… my customers… well what can I say about my customers, they are possibly the nicest bunch of people that I know. The support that they give me + my little shop is totally amazing. To each + everyone of you… you are the best!! THREE… Other small businesses… last but not least they people that help me keep the shop going, creating + making my shop interior @ongldesignmake, photographing the shop and product @dianaoliveiraphotography, building my beautiful website so I can have an online presence @angharad.co, newly on board to the HBK team @sophiepotterco she generally saving my tiny mind, draws up a storm + shop sitting, writing is also not my strong point so @_natalierowley_ brings her A game in English + is generally a word whizz with a heart of gold. This just a small number of people that help and support me… to all you other beauties I love you all loads. What an AWESOME little community I have around me. I am one lucky shop owner! • #communityovercompetition #littlestoriesofmylife #shoplife #supportnetwork #smallbusinessowner #smallbusinessnetwork #customersrock
Back in the shop for the weekend! I'll be here Thursday - Saturday, from 10-6 👋 #shopindependent #interiordesign #independentmakers #shoplocal
THREE - #mybrilliantbrand The experience… • I hope that when you come through the door or click on to the website, you the customer feels totally at home and welcome. • Whether you are popping in for #justacard (which makes such a difference) or you have your eye on a Melin Tregwynt throw, I will give you all the information you need to love that card or welsh blanket just that little bit more. I work so closely with my makers that I can pretty much tell you what their dogs/ cats are called!! That is the joy of working with small independent designers and makers... I hope by passing that knowledge + insight on, you will love shopping + coming in to say hello at HBK. @thebrand_stylist #communitynotcompetition #shoplocal #knowledgeispower #knowwhatyoubuy #lovewhatyoubuy #shopsmall #welshblanket #melintregwynt
Adventure awaits! 🦁🌲⛺️🐻 How cute do these guys look?!! HBK is back open tomorrow 10-6 Thurs- Sat. #smallisbeautiful #adventureawaits #kidsbedroom #littleadventurer #littleones #shopsmall
TWO - #mybrilliantbrand The magic I bring.... • Crikey, ok so I don’t have a magic wand or anything but when you walk into HBK or shop online I want to inspire and invite you to love design + your home. I want you to get all excited about being in the shop and your home... seeing something that you are just dying to get on your own shelf/ sofa or start using in your daily life. I hope that when you walk though the door or look into the shop window, you’ll see products that you love and want to treasure for a life time. • My style is simple, I love products that are honest, functional and beautiful. This quote has been massively over used, but it has followed me from my Art Foundation course back in 2002. • ‘Have nothing in your homes that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful’ William Morris • It is so true… what is your most treasured cushion/ chair/ painting/ print in your house… now that’s a hard question?!! #communityovercompetition #littlestoriesofmylife #aconsideredhome #honestliving #inspiration #lovedesign #functionaldesign
This morning I was doing my usual scroll through IG + then up popped @thebrand_stylist + her 10 day IG-challenge #mybrilliantbrand. What perfect timing Fiona! I have been thinking about my little business a lot + what I am doing. This is the perfect kick up the butt for me to be more honest + tell you more about me… + HBK my little shop! Hopefully I won’t bore you! • ONE - What I do... • Right ok so hello I am Kirsty, a designer maker, shop owner + indie business lover! • home byKirsty - HBK, is my homeware/ lifestyle shop. I set the shop up over four years ago, it has always been my dream… that corny thing that I have always wanted to do it since I was little! I am sooo passionate about have products in your home that you love + making your house a home. Home is the place where you relax, laugh, cry, grow, sleep + eat. I think your home should be as much a reflection of you, as say the clothes that you choose to wear. When you open your front door I want to be able to see what makes you, you! Am I making sense?!... As a designer maker myself I have always loved finding independent homeware shops/ designer/ makers, my home is filled with items that love + have treasure for years. From a Tapir Paper Mâché head by @abigailbrownart to beautifully simple prints from @tom_pigeon. I have over 40 designers + makers sitting on my shelves in my little coach house based in #Roath, #Cardiff. I love working with + getting to know the makers behind all the products, yesterday I spent the day up at @topdrawerlondon chatting to some of my amazing suppliers + hopefully some new designer makers too! I hope HBK inspires people to love design + their homes, just that little bit more. (This was sooo good to do- I turned off all distractions + just read through all my old notes on why I wanted to set the shop up + my first press release done by the awesome @lisajderrick - it is sooo easy to loose sight of why + what you are doing when you run your own business! I still love you little shop and you are going to work, you are!!) 📷 @dianaoliveiraphotography #communityovercompetition #littlestoriesofmylife #dowhatyoulove #taketimeforyou #rememberwhyyoustarted #shoplife
