Having spent more than 20 years working for a high street chemist and being appointed to my aspirational role, a Company restructure lead me to the decision to leave and start out on my own. Louise Lewis was born!
I became an Independent Phoenix trader, selling quality, beautiful UK printed cards and grew my business; standing at fairs, ladies lunches, hosting Coffee & Card parties and developing a team. I am now an Independent Flamingo Paperie Partner, the new name for Phoenix cards.
And then…
I have always had a passion for creating things, which lead me to a giftwrapping course in Harrogate. That was the inspiration for starting my giftwrapping business!
I held my first workshops in 2015, showing people how to make even the simplest gifts look really special and I now run my workshops at the Garden Rooms at Tennants in Leyburn. I also ran Mini Workshops for The Met Hotel in Leeds and at The Ned in London for Heaps + Stacks. The launch of branded giftwrap for businesses in 2017 saw a flurry of activity in the festive period, with lots of plans for further development in 2018.
At the start of 2016 an unexpected opportunity presented itself and I acquired a new business hosting events in North Yorkshire and Stockton. Chic Vintique traders sell everything from vintage and collectables to jewellery, cake and of course cards.
We’d love to see you at one of our events!
Join us at a fair in 2018!
