my business turns 25 today
Us ... 1999 {hubs taking the photo Andrew, Kirstie + I} Neil Gaiman//May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself. 1999... it is hard when I think about this year. I had turned 33 {I had a 6 year old + 3 year old} and my dad was very ill. He was one of my absolute favourite people. I sat down with him and chatted about my thoughts of starting my own business. He listened intently, then he looked at me with those beautiful blue eyes of his and he said that sounds like a bloody " marvellous" idea. After that conversation I went home + registered my ABN + business name Cathy Penton Designs {my business has had some iterations but more about that later}. That was 25 years ago today. I lost my dad just 5 weeks
