Friends take 'leap of faith' to open dream gift shop in leafy village

'WE FELL IN LOVE WITH BUILDING STRAIGHT AWAY'
GETTING your first business off the ground is always quite the challenge, with a mountain of logistics and responsibilities on your shoulders.
This is a “leap of faith” in which two Surrey friends, Liz Pearman and Sally Cousens, have decided to be brave, launching their new gift shop in a “leafy” Surrey village of Bramley not far from Guildford and Godalming.
The idea started out as a mere dream amongst the two friends, who had worked alongside each other at Ashtead Park garden centre for two years.
This dream has since become a reality as the pair opened their gift shop, The Vines, in the village on Saturday (November 1).
