Bonjour friends, I am so delighted and relieved to have Confectionique in my home, Finnegan, the cat, is happy too. Now, I have breakfast with my hubby, do my exercises, clean the house and then go downstairs surrounded by all the treasures I love. Ah, what a relief it is for me not to worry about all the bills and burdens that come along with having a physical shop outside my home.

With every small business I visit, I am deeply grateful to those who put all they have and love into their shops. I have a real appreciation for all the unpaid hours and behind the scenes issues that can arise, all the things customers do not see. Yet, those who have businesses do it because this is truly what they love, and they want to be part of their community offering all they love to others. I will continue to support small businesses!

Now, I focus on my very active ETSY shops. I have customers who order and pick up at my home. Be sure to check in with my ETSY shops on a regular basis. There will always be something new. You will find links to all 4 of them on the home page. Just click and explore. Remember, if you are local, you can stop by to pick up your orders and save on shipping, then perhaps, you can shop a bit of the Confectionique magic that now lives in the lower level my humble maison!

A’bientot, Anastasia
