My, How We've Changed!
Last Saturday was Merry + Bright’s 11th birthday. When we opened our doors on the last weekend of August 2009 we were called Plaisir (french for Pleasure, in case you’re wondering.) We had a roll-top bath full of marshmallows in the middle of the shop floor, as well as a few other somewhat experimental displays - Anthony’s mum and dad spent the entire day before opening wrapping wool around branches and twigs for us to hang jewellery on - and we had a mission: to surprise and delight any customer who was good enough to step through our door.
Well, the bath is no longer with us, the twigs have long since ended up on the compost heap (devoid of wool) but our mission remains the same. So here’s a '“Then and Now” trip down memory lane for those of you who have been shopping with us from the start. Thank you so much, we’re eternally grateful :)
