We really do have the best customers 🧵

One of our lovely customers brought in this lavender bag today. She had made it for my Dad, Trevor Franklin, using an embroidery machine she bought from us. She hadn’t realised that Dad had passed away.

It was such a kind gesture, and he would have absolutely loved it. Thank you so much. 🐝💛
