Towards evening there was more movement on the streets again. People were on their way home. The illuminated room aroused interest and one customer was very happy to find a birthday card right on her way home. Another customer desperately needed bath salts to relax, he had back pain from sitting in his home office for so long.

Every encounter was a pleasure, both for us and for the clients. After the first day, it was clear to us that the decision to open the shop was right and important. Not for the turnover, which is minimal in comparison - but for the customers. To be there for a social encounter, a place where exchange is possible and time takes a back seat.

Those little moments of magic, be it a beautiful sunrise or just the social encounters that used to be taken for granted and now become an experience. The thirteen clients who visited us this week were all happy to have a conversation and an exchange - to be human, to be perceived with their basic needs.

In addition to all these beautiful encounters, we would like to highlight one more highlight, a wonderful review by a customer. Thank you very much, Francine. If you like what we offer, we are also happy about a feedback. It encourages us to continue and to keep at it, especially in these very challenging times.
