25.01.2022 Hi everyone .... so here we still are desperately hanging on after having been closed now for 21 weeks But we still have fingers crossed hoping to get back to it at some point when people are permitted to have parties of more than the restrictions allow at the moment .... I’ve been meeting customers at the shop through appointments when they can’t find what they’re after anywhere else, so please keep that in mind .... ... Just wanting to keep in touch with everyone letting you all know that I AM still here lol ... When we get back to somewhat normal and I open the doors daily, I will be sure to let everyone know Also, a massive big thanks so much to Tracey and Kelly at High St Takeaway for collecting returned costumes without you, there would be no me Anyhoo ... keep well everyone and stay safe Cheers #lifeisfunnerincostume #thecostumeshoppe69

24.01.2022 Hi everyone ... hope this finds you all well and safe ... Well, it’s been almost eight weeks since our doors were closed because of this CoVid19 pandemic And while it has been stressful and terrifying, things are still moving slowly forward with the business ... After bans are eventually lifted and people will be allowed to have parties and gatherings again, I’m hoping you will come back to visit me ... so all the madness can continue lol ... We still have much of the year to get through together ... With Book week moved to October ‘Curious Creatures, Wild Minds!’ ... and Halloween still to come ... I do hope you all keep me in mind when organising your next get together Not exactly sure what dates I will eventually be open ... but hopefully it’s within the next month or two Thanks again to everyone for your kind words of love and support and again fingers crossed I get to see you all on the other side of this Take care and stay safe Without you, there is no us #thecostumeshoppe69 #lifeisfunnerincostume

23.01.2022 Hi guys So after 28 weeks of being closed due to COVID I’ve decided in the month of October to start to open slowly from about 11 am to maybe 3pm weekdays ... (of course if I’m needed before or after these times please just contact me to arrange a time ) If busy, these times will change to be longer, and when and if restrictions continue to ease, fingers crossed our hours will be back to somewhat normal .... ... Thankyou for your patience and understanding as I’m trying to navigate through uncharted waters ... In short, I have no clue what I’m actually doing lol Cheers to all those customers who continue to support me in such uncertain times It’s very much appreciated Stay safe and enjoy your day

22.01.2022 Mardi Gras is just around the corner and with two days left, there is very limited stock left available to buy ... get in quick before it’s all sold ... #thecostumeshoppe69... #lifeisfunnerincostume See more

22.01.2022 Hi guys So while I’m not at the shop this Easter I did want to give a shout out to all my amazing customers who continue to help me with my journey in the madness of this small business and wanted to wish you all a very Happy and Safe Easter While so many are struggling with what is going on in the world at the moment, I do hope you all get to reach out somehow to family and friends to help celebrate the most awesome of holidays ... Thanks again for all your ongoing encouragement, support and many many well wishes and I hope to see you all on the other side of this virus Take care Stay safe And eat chocolate #thecostumeshoppe69 #lifeisfunnerincostume #chocolateislife

22.01.2022 Okay guys so here we are in the grips of something none of us have ever imagined before ... Please, please, please consider supporting small businesses ... The economical effects on us and everyone else in the next six months will be a very hard time for all ... The larger chain stores will survive this, but unfortunately, many of the smaller stores will not. ... When you can, please consider buying or hiring a costume from your local, grabbing a takeaway meal for lunch or tea from the local fish and chip shop, or coffee and cake from your local cafe, buy that birthday cake from a small cake business, continue to have a haircut from your local hairdresser around the corner, grab those flowers from your local florist up the road We would all be so very grateful... We appreciate and sympathise that many of you will be heading into some scary financial distress, but hopefully we will all manage to get through this without too much difficulty and trauma ... Hastag great Aussie spirit ... Without you, there is no us ... #thecostumeshoppe69 #lifeisfunnerincostume

21.01.2022 Bored !? .... I know almost all of the answers but not all .... let’s see how clever you guys are .... I had chocolate for the winner ... but we all know where THAT went ..... ... Annnnd Go !!!!! 17 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

01.01.2022 Well today marks 10 years of working here at the Costume Shoppe !!! 10 years have gone by soooo fast !!! If not for Lesley taking me on all those years ago, I would never have had the opportunity that she blessed me with many years later, when she trusted me to nurture and love her beloved business as my very own ... Thankyou Lesley from the bottom of my heart Thanking you also to my favourite husband and my beautiful family for allowing me to be an absolute wing nut, halfwit and nincompoop as I foolishly improvise this journey of me running a successful business lol Also god bless each and every one of my wonderful customers for putting up with me through all of the madness Thanking you .... Love you all xxxx #thecostumeshoppe69 #lifeisfunnerincostume
