I've just spent a few years helping get a community cafe ready to open where I live. The opening is imminent and there are loads of people ready and willing to help!<br /><br />I missed the Hobbycraft show due to proir commitments too, maybe next year!<br /><br />Best of luck with your project :)Kitschnbakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18101018695274953638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011631608501516639.post-75472527500276163712011-03-02T03:07:42.011-08:002011-03-02T03:07:42.011-08:00Which sustainable cafe would that be Kathryn?

It was really interesting to talk to people about how they got funding, organise staffing etc etc. There's a very steep learning curve ahead of us but we're excited and very positive about the future.Starfish Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320776141828496012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011631608501516639.post-26097500253998057182011-03-01T05:54:08.150-08:002011-03-01T05:54:08.150-08:00I hope you got plenty of tasters!

There are so many cafes in the town near me. there is also a sustainable cafe in a lovely rural setting - they gathered all their furnishings second hand (obviously in good condition) and it looked great. It saves so much money and often people are throwing away such good quality stuff. Good luck with your project (I know how you hate that 'jump down your throat' sales patter!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910358782367739540noreply@blogger.com
