What a summer. Honestly, we are exhausted… but my heart has never felt fuller. ❤️
There were days when the shop was packed from morning until evening. Days when we barely stopped, our feet were aching and we went home completely drained.
But we also went home incredibly grateful.
To every customer who walked through our doors, travelled to visit us, ordered online, recommended us or returned again — thank you. Seeing so many familiar faces and meeting so many new ones has meant more to us than I can explain.
To every beautiful bride-to-be who celebrated her hen party with us — thank you for choosing Valley of Roses to be part of such a special time in your life. We shared so much laughter, so many stories and more than a few glasses of prosecco. Watching you leave with your own perfume and beautiful memories has been one of the highlights of our summer. 💍🥂
And to my team…
I know how hard you have worked. I have seen the long days, the tired faces and the way you still welcomed every customer with patience, kindness and a smile.
You gave everything to this summer, and I could not have done it without you. I am so proud of every one of you.
Tonight, I am not thinking about how tired we are.
I am thinking about how lucky we are.
Thank you for giving our little Kilkenny perfume shop a summer we will never forget. 🌹
