This quote is so fitting for Shereen at The Hive in Pirongia.
Opening in November 2020, in the middle of a pandemic was no easy feat. Being plunged into lockdown after lockdown, and adapting to life with less and less foot traffic were just some of the challenges facing the small business.
Shereen set to work, tirelessly sewing; bibs and aprons, rompers and scarves. Ordering new material and designing new Santa sacks for the impending Christmas.
Optimistic that one day life would return to a new kind of normal. It wasn’t easy, some days there would be no customers at all. So when the last of the lockdowns ended and the borders began opening up, the customers have gradually began returning.
Our lemon apron is a tribute to all those who box on, despite challenges being thrown at them. For those that when life gives them lemons, they make orange juice!
