It's time to for Old Mother Hens to get back to business..
(Little Back Store)
We have been quite the last few years, we took over Nth Qld Babies and Kids back in early 2019 and what a ride it has been. We are still running the business that is know call “NQ Babies & Kids”, that includes a store front in at Canelands and the Expo’s a few times a year in Mackay & Townsville.
March 2021, we started another event “Mackay Twilight Market”, that seen the crazy brought into things.
Since then, we down tools as you say with the party hire side of the business, Our weekends where just taken over with events and what little time we had, we spent it as a family. We have still been hiring out our range but not pushing it, this was due to the events and the shop taking up so much of my time.
When I started Old Mother Hens Party Hire back in July 2016, I had no idea where it would take us. July 2016, we had also just found out we were adding a little human to our family, over the years I have juggled, business and family life and something had to give and that was the party hire side.
I have missed doing party setups and since covid and more so in the last year I have seen the struggles families are going through and birthday parties not being at the top of the list for families.
The last 8 months we have been working with our customers to give them a DIY option and I can see the need for this.
So, with that we are going to get back into opening bookings up with our new price list and offering DIY packages for all our hire range.
We are opening bookings from June onwards.
We are also working on having our website updated so party bookings can be done online also (more details to come soon).
Bookings from Sept to Oct will be closed off due to our family holiday to the NT happening. But I will do the best I can if you have a booking in that time to offer DIY with collection from the studio in Beaconsfield.
I look forward to offering our full services again to our local community.
