Beth Stubbins is one of the newest traders to join Stamford’s shopping scene by running Enchanted Wisdom in Cheyne Lane, off St Mary’s Street.

The 34-year-old, from Fletton Avenue, Peterborough, sells mediation items, crystals and bath items. She also raises awareness of guardian angels by running angel parties along with making her own cards and wall hangings.

Beth is pleased with the success of the shop, which opened a month ago, and does not regret leaving her job as a business intelligence operations user and support specialist at Virgin Media.

She said: “I had a really good position in IT and thought ‘this isn’t what I’m supposed to be doing’.

“I know it is still early days but I am very hopeful that it will work. I’m having to work hard physically rather than mentally.

“A lot of people have seen the advert and come in for particularly things.

“Everyone who walks into the shop has said that it was about time that there was shop like it in Stamford.”
