2022 me clearly thought black and white was the way forward. Very sophisticated. Very sensible. Very... f*cking boring.
Then 2025 me turned up, apparently having discovered the entire colour spectrum, and decided Reyt Designs needed a bit more personality.
And you know what? I think she was onto something.
But there's more to this little trip down memory lane than a change of logo.
Back in the day, I would sign up for pretty much every event I could find. Craft fairs, markets, Christmas fairs... if there was a table going spare, I'd probably be there.
Which, on more than a few occasions, would leave me questioning my life choices, wondering why I hadn't stayed at home in my pyjamas and questioning whether putting up a gazebo in questionable British weather was really what I wanted to do with my weekends.
Fast forward to now, and I've decided that 2027 will be an EVENTS-FREE year for Reyt Designs. Yes, really. No market tables, no packing the car to within an inch of its life, no gazebo-related drama.
Sometimes businesses evolve, priorities change and you realise that doing absolutely everything isn't necessarily the way forward.
Reyt Designs has grown and changed, and so have I. The colourful version feels much more like the little business I've been building. Creative, fun, a bit different and definitely not afraid of a splash of colour.
Still coming up with new ideas, still figuring things out as I go, and still occasionally wondering what on earth I'm doing. Some things never change!
So, let's have a little trip down memory lane...
Which Reyt Designs version do you prefer? The original 2022 black and white or the colourful 2025 version?
I'm genuinely curious!
