THE WAY FORWARD

After much thinking, fretting and mugs of coffee whilst staring out of the window, we think the main Nest plan for 2013 is to make more stuff ourselves. Whether this involves making more furniture or just more small stuff we don’t know yet, but at least it puts the shops destiny a little more in our hands and fits in with our environmental and ethical policy. By ethical policy we mean it’s fine to exploit ourselves working long hours for little pay rather than someone else doing it!

Our wooden letters made from scrap timber have been a real bestseller for us and the fact that we make them gives me a nice rosy feeling! So perhaps this, combined with other secret plans is the way forward.

Wait a moment – wasn’t last year our ‘social media year’? Do we still have to keep writing this blog – shouldn’t we be making things instead?

Oh, both...as I said, exploited!
