Faye Heron and Joanne Usher, All Dressed in Love

"
Owning our own business is a highlight in itself. It all happened so fast, it's a good feeling to realise that we actually have a viable business. At first it was friends and family who had parties, now we do parties for people we don't know, who are having parties because they actually like our jewellery, which is fantastic"

"It feels really exciting to be doing something I'm passionate about. I couldn't have even dreamt about doing this without the support and advice I've received and the funding from South Tyneside Means Business."
