You being there is everything to this small independent business.

Day 3 of the @justacard campaign championing indep Day 3 of the @justacard campaign championing independent businesses is all about the community and local businesses. Luckily for us at Cositas the two go hand in hand 👯‍♀️ We have been lucky enough to support and be supported by sooo many indies some of which are tagged in the comments. In the photo you can see Cositas surrounded by one of our favourite neighbours @chloejameslifestyle, workshop leader @ficklecraftroom and the current Pop Up Shop at Cositas @thevintagebayuk. We’re in St Albans right next to @stalbanscathedral in a bustling market town. We run Creative Workshops that support loads of indie makers and businesses, we stock indie businesses and we bring fresh, new indie retailers to the city with our Pop Up venue 💞We’re so thankful that we get to connect with such wonderful and vibrant people both in the businesses we work with and the customers who drop by to say hi.

The best thing about Black Friday is Indie Week, a The best thing about Black Friday is Indie Week, a week long campaign celebrating everything independent by @justacard 🐦 Their mantra is that just buying a card from an indie means the world and has an actual impact on their livelihood⚡️So for a week your Insta feed will no doubt be full of small businesses like mine, taking part and supporting eachother while yet another Black Friday looms like heavy storm 🌪brewing up for a weekend of crazed discounts. I’m not going to do my usual yearly rant here; this time you can find it in my blog (I’m sure you’d hate to miss one of my rants 🤣-link in bio) to hear all my thoughts and what we’re going to do instead this year. So this is me 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m Emma and this is Cositas. We’re an award winning interiors and gift shop based in St Albans from where we run loads of creative workshops. More recently we’ve become a Pop Up Shop venue in a bid to bring more to our struggling high streets. Great to meet you all 💕 #justacard
🍂Cosying Up For Autumn 🍂 I love how the leav 🍂Cosying Up For Autumn 🍂 I love how the leaves blew into the shop highlighting the warmth of the wooden drawers in our new 4 Drawer Shelving Unit. It really adds depth and character to the metal frame which can otherwise feel a bit stark. I want this in my house. I will maximalist the hell out out of it with some of gorgeous bookends, busts and phrenology heads 👌🏼 And I’m really into mindset and manifestation books which I’ll dot about in between 📚 We’ve only got 1 of The Big I left in the shop actually- a little reminder for me to reorder! @2rebelbellas
