I've been a member of Stroud Businesswomen's Network, SBN, for almost two years now and I'm so glad I joined! Each month I attend a meeting which takes place at The Old Lodge on Minchinhampton Common where members gather to network and promote our businesses, however big or small and it's always a pleasure to spend time with such a friendly bunch of women as well as hearing inspirational speakers who come in from time to time to help us on our way.
I had my greetings cards on display today and they were admired by a first time visitor, Kate Sharp or Vibrant Kate as she is known! She runs Laughter workshops which must certainly be a great pick-me-up as we all know the old saying, Laughter is the best medicine. We exchanged business cards, and I was thrilled to receive hers, which she designed herself, having studied art and design at University. I love the postmark which reads:Eccentricity! She also told me that during her studies she had designed a set of stamps featuring trees, so I'm looking forward to seeing those when we next meet up, hopefully during my forthcoming Christmas Open Studios event on the week-end of 23rd and 24th November. Kate also possesses a stamp collection put together by her parents until she reached the age of 18, but has not continued with the hobby, although time may change all that! I also made another new contact today among the group, and it turns out she is also a stamp collector.
