Remember, our first 500 customers will receive an exclusive Grand Opening Enamel Pin from The Lost Cauldron! 🎁
📍 Address:
The Lost Cauldron, 75a Matlock Green, Matlock, DE4 3BT, United Kingdom
(We’d really appreciate it if you do not visit prior to grand opening, as we’re still busy sorting things like training our lovely staff members!) 🙏🏼
Car Park Recommendations:
Matlock Lido Car Park DDDC
Matlock Railway Station Car Park
Our address is approximately a 10 minute walk from either of these car parks.
⛅ Weather & Safety:
We are anticipating a large turnout for our Grand Opening, which may result in queues and limited space inside the shop.
To ensure your comfort and safety, we kindly advise you to consider the following:
💧 Stay Hydrated: Please bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated whilst waiting in line.
☂ Dress Accordingly: Weather conditions can be unpredictable. Whether it’s sunny or raining, please dress appropriately for the day.
⏱ Queuing: Your patience is appreciated as we work to manage the flow of our customers. Please understand that not everyone can enter the shop at the same time. Thank you for your understanding.
Together, let’s make this a magical and memorable day. We can’t wait to welcome you to The Lost Cauldron!
THANY YOU SOOOO MUCH I can’t wait to go there!!!
Hi just wondering whether you will be open on the Sunday too. Sadly I am away on the Saturday but if you are open till 6 on Sunday I can potentially make it on my way home.
@@hannahhawkins5324it’s the same 7 days a week😊
@@jennastrickland2248 cool. Couldn't see where it said anywhere
please sell the cookies!! 🤗
Tip from a long-time salesperson - put price labels on the back or underside of ALL your items... People are 18% more likely to purchase an item if they touch it... so if they pick it up to read the price on the back - Hey Presto they touched it!! It seriously works! Once a person has handled an item they connect with it in a more meaningful way!! Genius, right!!?
I totally agree. If I look at a product and there is not a price, I don't bother with it anymore.
I personally am more likely to buy something if I know the price and don't have to ask...I get shy sometimes and avoid asking
If the price is not visible for me, I just assume it’s pricey and just move on. Especially if it’s a small shop. 🤷🏻♀️
Also try and avoid putting stickers on the unprotected front of paper products as it is very hard to get them off without ruining the item
As a customer I don't bother if I have to search for a price and don't want to support the seller because I feel tricked.
Tip: Price the book on the inside of the book cover so the pretty covers doesn’t get damages by the glue! Love your hard work, so amazing!
YES!!! My biggest pet peeve, especially on those beautiful fabric book covers!!! There is no way of ever getting those marks off!!! 📚😭
You can easily remove sticker price labels by slightly heating with a hair dryer or leaving in the sun
Did you know most books come with a price already on them. Look at the bar code. On the top of it are some numbers. One is the price set by the publisher.
@@amy_soucy I know, but I live in Belgium, so most English books I buy have a sticker on top of that with the € conversion and any extra cost incurred from shipping to the store. I think I only ever bought a book at the printed price once, from Waterstones in London 😉
Imagine if one of the antiques she bought ended up being haunted and she acquired her very own shop ghost like each hp house having a ghost 😂 loving EVERYTHING so far!
I thought the same when they entered the antique shop. I was like, hopefully, they don't buy anything with a spirit attached to it.
Having a shop Peeves might be fun!
@@skyedomotor729 YES, TOTALLY!
It would make the store extra magical 🧙♀️
AND Dangerous, like her fall😮! She could have gone through the window😢! My nephew fell through a display cabinet and braced for the fall cutting his hand & forearm tendons & muscles badly. He can't use his predominant hand at all & it looks horrible! Cherry scared the crap out of me😢!!! So Glad it didn't go bad for her, just embarrassing😊! Whenever I'm asked if I'm OK, I answer with "Depends on who you ask!"😂
About your potion at the end of your video. I'm a decorator for a haunted house attraction, and bitter experience has taught me to not to use substances that can rot, and leave an unpleasant smell/visual. (though unpleasant is great for a haunted house, we don't like actual rot) I would recommend you switch out the fluid for pure alcohol or lamp oil to preserve what ever else you add to the bottle. You can then add mica powder and the items you want in your potion. It's really just about trying what works best. Congratulations on your store, it looks stunning.
Yeah, i was thinking that too, since its a carbonated drink, it'll definitely decay.
Congrats! I’ve worked yeeeears of retail and if I could offer just a couple bits of unsolicited advice; if there’s is any drawer or cabinet that you want to be staff access only, key locks are highly recommended. People love to help themselves. Which brings me to my last, and probably most important but of “advice”, if you think people WON’T do something, they absolutely WILL. Whether it’s messing/playing with decor or doing just the most insane things where you think “a normal person would never..” They will. People are crazy. Oh the stories I could share lol. All the best of luck❤
Couldn't agree more 👏🏻
totally agree with this! and don't keep anything breakable in the reach of small children, they can get up to mischief very quickly while mum or dad are focused on shopping!
Its gorgeous and bang on trend. I would have liked to see the cube units in a blackish navy and not cow kak brown.Needs a fake fire with plastic cauldron and throw a small dry ice machine in, use real logs and a hanging cauldron.. IKEA has real smoky fire oil for electric no fume burners. Take a leaf out of Disney's' book with the iron on T shirts at high prices..and with with the products And orange pumpkin lollies. and pleeeeease sell foiled book sleeves with the shop name. address and website on the back. Foiled is IN. and orange pumpkin rock, sweet treats. lollies
@@samanthabrown4833Yeah, the cloches are 100%going to get broken by a kid at some point :(
You should put a little circle rug in front of the chair, and like a little table with a tea cup, like a divination cup and ball!
The parrot candle holder is very magical! I love it!
Yes, it could represent a magical school pet from a tropical part of the world.
Mary Poppins vibe ... (is she a past student of Hogwarts ???)
My aunt owns a cake shop with an island of cupcakes in glass domes. One thing we learnt from that - customers can be clumsy. Might be a good idea to add a wooden rim round the candle island to prevent a glass dome from sliding off the island when a customer's elbow knocks it.
Now all we need is a footage of Leslie and Cherry cutting a ribbon with comically large scissors to commemorate the shop opening (also nice gravity check Cheryl 😉)
Something you could be interested in : if you don't want to spend your time cleaning bits and pieces of moss falling each time people pick up an item, you could do what people do when sealing ground or other details in diorama, which is : spraying it with water mixed with a little bit of liquid soap (to break the surface tension) and then mixing up some craft glue (like Mod podge) and some water in a spray and spraying the hell out of that moss, so it fixes it better. then you let it dry and voilà. you can do another coat if you feel it's not enough.
Or glycerine is a good preserver also
Thanks for tips, I want to try it, I open clothing store and I put moss and fake stone as display shoe table, its tiring cleaning them 🙃🥲😮💨
@@skakitty6458 It's horribly sticky.
You want it to set hard.
Please do a vlog of the Grand Opening for those of us who are very far away and won't able to make it 😢❤
We will be.
This. I live in Canada and wish I could be there. Hope it was magical!
@@cherrywallis very excited as I live only 30 minutes away!
It might be an idea to have a guestbook in your shop for customers to leave messages to you as you will not always be there. And also to show their appreciation. Helps you to know how people like the shop.
Highly recommend since you used a potentially sugary drink to fill the potion bottle, put like 2 teaspoons of isopropyl alcohol in it so it doesn't mold.
Good shout!
Cherry I can honestly say that I have never been so excited for a vlog to be uploaded. A massive congratulations for all your hard work and also for sharing your MAGICAL journey with us. This is just the beginning and I am so thrilled for you and excited to see what comes next. All the best to you and your colleagues and family. ❤❤
Same
LESLEY IS AMAZING! Woah he’s so skilled. Great partner to have in this brilliant project! Cherry, thank you for including us in this whole process. It’s been an absolute delight seeing the BTS! You’re flipping AMAZING. All the best!
I am backing Lesile. The parrot candle holder rocks! I am so proud of you two! You took a dream and made it a reality.
Hi, Cherry. why don't you get a beat up cauldran. And put it in a corner in your shop with cobwebs on it and an old sign saying The Lost Cauldran. You could even put some stuff infront of it. So when people find it, its special to them. Its just an idea I had watching this video.
Or a tiny one that keeps moving around the shop. New place everyday....so its lost and has to be found.
They have a cauldron already that they Based the name of the shop off
@hurricanebubbles I like your idea and her UA-cam followers can do the finding like a"where's.Wally" kinda thing and possibly run competitions too! 😊
The fact you both did this by yourselves is so unbelievably magical!!! I am so utterly happy for you both and have thoroughly enjoyed watching this journey! I hope one day I can visit your shop in person! It looks so stunning!!! Nifflers name should be Barnaby, Gertrude, Cassondra, Fliffers, or Tomothy ❤❤❤
Love the parrot candle stick! Totally a Dumbledore office item.
Congratulations and well done Cherry, Leslie and whoever else! Haha
Already spotted lots of things I want to buy! I'm so blessed to have family down the road near the shop so I can visit at least 1-2 times a year.
I’m still a minor and I live all the way in America!!! I’m so jealous of you
People who are excited
👇😎
Its so important to always have a place to sit to do things and for customers. I have lupus and I wear out easily or hurt if standing too long, so I have to have places to sit. You might consider a bench of some sort somewhere also.
You can see in this video we have a comfortable common room chair for exactly this.
So excited! I wish I could see your shop in person, but I live in the US. Will definitely have to make a trip out someday! Your shop looks like something you would walk into on Diagon Ally!
Me too! I definitely want to go back and what a perfect reason.
@@laurabear1041 Definitly!
Hey cherry for your giant potion, if you ever want to change it out you can achieve the mystical swirl effect with shaving cream and water (lots of shaving cream and a little water) and then you can make it whatever color you want with food coloring … I made them as sensory bottles when I worked with toddlers
I have no idea what's in the shop now but here's just a running list of ideas while watching the episode: shop socks, scarves, postcards, specialty craft things (cross stitch and needlepoint), maybe a knitted shawl of a cauldron pattern, lost cauldron pillow case or sign poster. Also, congratulations on your grand opening coming soon! What a big accomplishment! We're looking forward to your online shop too ;) See you next summer! Sending love and light from Utah
All the props and decorations look so neat, but I don’t envy you the dusting and regular upkeep! Especially with moss. Hope all the best for your events.
That is such a treat to see the whole process, i really enjoyed that! Thank you for sharing this with us! I wish you and Leslie all the success in the world...Congratulations! This shop is WONDERFUL!
Why am I crying ?! I'm so happy for and proud of you 🥹 I hope you'll have the best and most successful time! I can't wait to visit England and your shop 🖤 I hope the grand opening and everything that follows will be as you imagined! Loved this video series and am really excited for what comes next ☺️
I am literally only 35 seconds in and already so insanely blown away! It looks so amazing! So jealous this isn’t here in the states because I’d love to visit once it’s open!
I have come along for the journey from the second this series dropped and I can say I am so happy with how it has turned out thus far, I cried.
I can't wait to see more videos featuring 'The Lost Cauldron'
I don't know if I'll ever be able to visit your shop, but I loved watching it all come together. Good Luck with your opening!
It’s beautiful! I can’t wait for everyone to see your hard work up close! X
THOROUGHLY ENJOYING YOUR RENOVATION SERIES CHERRY! The shop looks SOOO INCREDIBLE. Massive congratulations. Good luck with your launch. Not that you need it ❤️👏🏻
I hope every single person who steps foot in the shop treats it with the respect it deserves
love the parrot candle stick holder! they sure have magic also in more exotic places, no need for just owls or phoenixes :)
Honestly the most beautiful shop I have ever seen! I would buy everything if I could haha. I want to live in there. Great job guys!!!
I love the attention to detail and how nit picky you’ve been with the design of the shop! But I also love that you’ve shown the process of everything and I hope it inspires people out there who want to start their own business to do so.
I think that people confuse what nit-pick or nitpicky actually means. In my part of the world being "nit picky" is equal to be difficult. But to me what the that really means is people complaining about having to do the work right. Which I think that some people don't understand in a situation like this. It isn't nit pick, if you are focused on details to sell a story and experience. Because trust me. People will notice if you cut corners and do a half or less then job.
@@13FallenAngela yeah I meant it as a compliment
Congrats hope you had a great opening weekend ❤
OMG!!!! Please open a website for those of us that live in the USA. Your store is gorgeous and I cannot wait for an official reveal.
Cherry's so loved by Potter fans that the day of opening is going to be crazy.
Omg can’t wait 🔥🔥🔥🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Good luck with it all, I'm only down the road, so 🤞🏻 I'll be able to pop in one day & buy something. I'm loving the cauldron mugs 😍
As a Derbyshire girly i can tell where this is and im so excited to visit!
I know the magical shoppe will be beautiful and many will be curious to visit and see for themselves.
The lost cauldron is an absolute vibe, I can't wait to visit! ❤ the glass cauldron mug! Good luck for your grand opening 🎉
So fun seeing my bookmarks in here! Thank you so much! 🥰✨
Imagine this shop in autumn 😩💖
Stopppp I’m so excited to decorate for autumn and Halloween!!!!
OMG CHERRY THAT PARROT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS SHOUT OUT TO LESLEY (:
Cherry, I’m so impressed with all of the hard work you and Leslie have done to make the shop perfect and beautiful!✨ So very happy for you to realize your dream!💕
leslie is such a pure soul🥺💞 i love the shop so much, you two did a great job!!
ThIS SHOP IS SO MAGICAL ✨ If I was to ever have a magical shop I would absolutely want it to look like this! Beautiful work ✨I adore this store so much!
Hi Cherry! Congratulations! I’m so excited for you and Leslie for opening your magical shop!⚡️🪄
The chair could be a photo opportunity for people... great idea!! LOVE the shop!!!!! Jealous as I live in Australia and I'd love to visit ❤ hahaha the nails... I was actually thinking you should do that when things are almost finished... LOVE THEM!!!! ❤❤❤❤
The shelves look beautiful. The walls in the ceiling are absolutely stunning. I wish I lived abroad instead of California, so I could come visit.
I’m so excited that Niffler fur has become an apothecary ingredient as it was my suggestion (no doubt loads of people suggested it too because who doesn’t like Nifflers!). I plan on visiting the shop one day and I’m still so happy for you and Leslie opening The Lost Cauldron!!!! ❤
I am coming to the shop on Saturday cant wait so excited xxx see you there.
Big tip as a retail worker is to have signs for prices of things you have a lot of, especially small things like bookmarks, so you and your staff aren't spending time price marking all day. Especially as people WILL ask how much something is before they look for themselves 😂😂
That light is truly magical and with the ceiling, perfect! Love the labels, your writing is beautiful. Definitely sounds like you had fun and a few fumbles. I do that regularly. Hope you had a wonderful birthday!
Congrats, Cherry! This is SO exciting. Your attention to detail just hits me right in the magical feels. I hope i can visit one day! ✨
Oh my gosh! Been waiting so long and it’s almost here ❤ can’t wait to meet you !
Fantastic cherry I love it so much you and lesley have done a great job 👏 can't wait to see it all finished and I may visit you one day 😊❤
Awe, Cherry, I am so happy and excited for you. It looks stunning already - didn't expect any less of you! 💖 Can't wait to see the full shop in your next video and hopefully sometime soon in person! 😍😍😍 I wish you all the best for the grand opening and for the time after that. May your shop be filled with customers, lots of joy and magic - always!!! ✨️
Thank you for taking us along on your fabulous journey!
In 8 hours can’t wait
Now we need novels about a fictitious character who owns the shop and has mystery adventures in magic!
The Lost Cauldron looks marvellous! I wish I could visit!
Cherry, I nearly cried throughout this entire video! From years of watching you curate your magical shelves and unbox magical items, to now curating your own magical shop! It feels like the perfect progression of your life's work and I couldn't be more thrilled for you! The Lost Cauldron is now high on my UK bucket list and I really hope I can make it there soon!
Can I just say one word… WOW. WOW at the effort, WOW at the aesthetic, WOW at all the items and WOW I can’t wait to visit soon (I’m also from Birmingham so it’s a bit of a trek with my 5 month son but don’t u worry I’ll be down someday soon!) MASSIVE congrats to you both and goodluck 🥳🥰😍❤️🤍🫶🏽🙏🏽
That sweet drink will mold, just use water and food coloring and glitter.
It’s homely amazing seeing this whole journey. And I cannot wait to be able to visit the shop now!!
Leslie is so talented!
It’s so beautiful…but that bottle filled with beverages is going to rot check on it
Hello you may not see this but will small businesses be able to stock in your shop. I have a small business and I make crystal Jewellery. I would be so happy to have my things in your shop. It's called Moonlight Crystals.
Every time I see Leslie at work I'm amazed because he's so skilled at what he's doing.
Happy Birthday Cherry 🎂 🎁🎉
I love this shop so much! It has been so fun watching it come together. Is this space friendly for LGBTQIA+ people to visit? You have a lot of Harry Potter merch and enthusiasm for that IP. It sends mixed messages to people that don’t feel safe around JK’s stances and hurtful rhetoric.
Who is gonna visit?? 🎉😄
Congratulations! It’s looking amazing!! So excited for you!
I'm so excited for you guys. There's something magical about seeing someone's dreams come true.
The shop is looking fabulous and I can't wait to visit. Your videos show how creative you and Leslie are and the hard work required to set up a new business.
Cherry! 🍒 This is every fairy core, magic, wizardry, witches, etc etc fantasy of a store! Very beautiful very magical 🧙 I loved everything you picked for your store! Your brand is very true to who you are and I can honestly say as a fellow Gryffindor this makes my heart feel so magical! Looking at your store seems like something that should be in a movie. So SO MAGICAL
You have both done an amazing job,the shop looks so magical. Wishing you all the luck 🍀
I can’t begin to describe how happy this video has made me. Words can not convey how happy I am for you @cherrywallis …and it also makes me realize how I’ve lost the will to dream things for myself. You’re bringing back my “dream spark” (is that even a thing?🤷♀️)…you dreamt of this and now it’s a reality ✨
I’m so in love with this series and your new shoppe. Congratulations!
Great job - what an enormous amount of work!
Happy Belated Birthday Cherry!!!
he is absolutely right that candle holder is beautiful!💙
This is incredible!!! I’ve watched your videos for so long and to see you at this point is amazing! Can’t wait to visit 🦉✨ Congratulations Cherry 🍒
Everything, especially the ceiling, is amazing! I’m so excited for you guys! I’m definitely adding your shop to my must visit list if I ever get to cross the pond.
Congratulations on your new shop!!! It’s so magical!
Looks so good! The drink in the vintage chemistry/wine cask might mold. You might keep an eye on it.
I'm so excited for you, Cherry and Leslie! It's been quite the journey for you both. It's very cool to see the castle on the hill from your windows! I wish you lots of luck. ❤️💙
It has been such a joy to see this come together for you guys, and I wish you both all the best. Oh my goodness I hope eventually you'll have an online shop with loads of your specialty curated stock. And I look forward to seeing videos and pictures of the shop after you open.
Congratulations Cherry🎉🎉🎉, you did a fantastic job✨️. It's been amazing following your shop updates. I hope your opening day is a magical success!🧙♂️🪄✨️
Congratulations on opening your dream store soon. You and Leslie have done a phenomenal job with the shop it is beautiful and amazing. Both of you should be so proud of yourselves. I will not be able to attend the grand opening, but I am anxiously waiting to see the vlog. Thank you for taking us along on the tiring blood, sweat, and tears journey you two have taken to get to this moment. Even though you and Leslie don't need it, because I am sure your store will be a hit and do well, I am wishing both of you good luck in all your future endeavors.
The shop has come along amazingly. You have done a wonderful job, both of you (and cameraman Chris for filming). Good luck with the friends/family soft opening and all the best for the Grand Opening! Super proud of your achievement.
I am so impressed and envious! Oh, to be young again and have the energy and creativity to follow a dream! Watching ya’ll work so hard has worn me out. You both are extremely talented and have done an amazing job. It is a beautiful shop and I wish you so much success. Blessings…
Congratulations!! Looking forward to seeing the end results
I love the product organization!! So pretty!!
