It's #ColourFriday 😃🖤👻 Colour Friday is the independent alternative to Black Friday! You hear me banging on a lot about supporting small businesses and why it's so important, but I also think it's important to be honest and say there is nothing wrong with shopping Black Friday deals, and you shouldn't feel 'shamed' shopping with big retailers today 🖤 I'm never going to reinvent the Samspook Flip Z, or start selling Claystation 5s, (do you see what I did there?!), and the reality for many people is that it's just not affordable or practical, (in the case of tech/food/essentials etc.), to shop small 100% of the time. So what can you do? Well, firstly, enjoy your big brand bargains today! If you're shopping at Amazon, they now have a handy tag underneath some listings which state "small business" - use these if you can! LOTS of small businesses and independent authors sell via Amazon, and many of these wouldn't have another outlet for their products or books otherwise. Whilst you're getting a new Kindle, why not pop that 99p Kindle book in your basket you saw on your Twitter feed the other day? Do you need a special card to go with that tablet? Use the #MHHSBD, #ColourFriday or #JustACard tags on social media to find someone who makes them! It is possible for small, medium and large businesses to co-exist by making small changes to our shopping habits. Our website update will be SATURDAY 3rd DECEMBER, and it will be quite a large one, so I hope we'll see you there! Even if it's just for a browse and a share 🤗 Thank you SO much for your continued love and support, have a spooktacular day! 🖤👻🖤 - Victoria 🖤👻🎄 👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻 #KentCoastGhosts #kentmakers #JACIndieWeek #handmade_hour #MHHSBD #SBS #blackfriday #artistsupportpledge #smallmakertalk #smallbusinesssupport #communityovercompetition (at Kent, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClYQCAPM5QP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm still packing up and sending out your orders so if you haven't received tracking details please don't panic, they will come 🤗🖤👻 I'm currently waiting on a shipment of postal boxes which were ordered over a week ago but have been held up due to the events of the past week. Rest assured, all orders will be on their way very soon 🤗 I'm so excited for you all to receive your Kent Coast Ghosts. Thank you for bearing with me whilst I'm ensuring they get to you safely 🥰 👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤 #KentCoastGhosts #kentmakers #madeinkent #GhostPost (at Kent, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CicwBz6M5Lr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

All orders are now on their way, so it's time for a little tidy up on the website before our next Adoption Event 🖤👻 📮 I've adjusted the postage prices slightly to make them easier to navigate. We're now sending all parcels via trackable post using either Royal Mail or courier delivery, so you can keep an eye on your ghostie all the way to your door! Please note that Royal Mail workers will be striking on 26th and 31st August, and again on 8th and 9th September. We're not sure how this will affect deliveries yet, but please be aware that there may be delays around this time, and this is out of our control 😔 Get ready for some exciting new updates in the coming weeks, and thank you again for all of your support! 🖤👻 - Victoria 👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤 #KentCoastGhosts #kentmakers #MadeInKent #gothicgifts #ghostlyencounters #paranormalactivity #ghosthunters #hauntedbritain #hauntedkent #MHHSBD #JustACard #spookyseason https://www.instagram.com/p/Chmxju6LZea/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spot the new ghost coming soon 😉 I took my small ghoul for a sedation appointment at the dentist today - she was amazingly brave and brilliantly funny! Fear not though; an ENORMOUS batch of ghosties are in the process of drying ready to be painted over the next couple of days - most will be ready to be rehomed on Monday, and custom orders will begin winging their way mid-week next week... 😉 ...Including some new spooks! Hope you all had a brilliant Tuesday. Keep it Sp👀Ky! 🖤👻 - Victoria 👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤 #KentCoastGhosts #GhostPost #kentmakers #madeinkent #ghostlypresence #spookystyle #spookyseason #MHHSBD #SBS #horrorfam #horrorcommunity #mutantfam (at Kent, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxA1Gys8y4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's a hot one! It's 34c on the coast here! 🌡 We're still on track for new ghosties at the end of the week, but don't forget there will be a postal strike, so we'll do our best to get parcels delivered as fast as we can! We're just doing some little painting and sewing jobs today with some new additions to the website. It's a bit too warm for anything else 😅 How are you coping and what's the temperature where you are? - Victoria 👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤 #KentCoastGhosts #heatwave #UKMakers #Scorchio #kentmakers #kentcoast #hernebaybusiness #ghosthunters #collectablefigures #collectabledesign #spookysummer https://www.instagram.com/p/CgJ00GBsu29/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And just in time for postal strikes... NEW GHOSTS 👻 Slight delay this month due to the heat; they're not fans, (literally - they're ghosts 🌬👀), but new ghosties will be up for adoption next week! We recommend signing up to the website now and taking advantage of any Pumpkin Points you can earn, or already have! Signing up also means you'll be able to checkout faster - please remember ghosts in your basket can still be purchased by others until you complete checkout 🙂 Please see my pinned post for info on the postage strikes also taking place next week - normal service should resume the week after so we're hoping your Ghost Post won't be delayed for too long 🤗 - Victoria kentcoastghost.com 👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤 #KentCoastGhosts #mhhsbd #kentmakers #ghostcollectors #ghostlyencounters #GhostMaker #CollectableArt #HorrorCommunity #MutantFam #collectablefigures #gothichomedecor #witchstyle #witchesofig https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_lJvRs0R-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
