Good morning beautiful people ❤️
First of all Save the Date, because it's going to be amazing (I may even read your palm if you behave 😉 🧙‍♀️)
There are some lovely stalls attending on the day and as you know we don't fear the weather! We are indoors and you can sit inside the café area with a cuppa and cake (that we will have available from our lovely stall holders).
✨️ More about it in the next few days, please check the Events section at the top of the page to see who's coming! 😁

Second, why was I the second mother to turn up for little man's first proper day in school?!? 😆 That's in the whole school not just his classroom! I think we both need to get used to the new routine!

I know it may seem like a lot of incence but it really isn't 😆
I ordered a few New bits too and I really like them all, I can't say I have a favourite! 😆 To be honest, I always buy what I want for myself, as I'm weird like that!
But I think we are quite ready for the season ahead now, would you agree?!?

💥 Shelf Restock 💥
As our crystals are going fast Alison from LAHandmadegifts popped by with a few extra bits!
I love them, what do you think?!?!

🧙‍♀️ A little tip for those spiritual out there: using Palo Santo or White Sage with a Natural Shell while smudging will represent the 4 Elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water! You're welcome!

💥 New in Stock! 💥
Check out these gorgeous Handmade Cards that just arrived from Loonicorn

The lovely Lou has been one of my stationery supplier for a number of years (long before I opened up the shop!) I definitely recommend you check her website if you need anything business related!
✨️ She's been making, and even hand painting, a variety of Cards as the ones here with the goal of Reduce!Reuse!Recycle! the left over materials.

❤️ If you've seen something you like get in touch and I'll post it for you! And just in case you don't know, any of our Cards can also be sent directly from the shop to a relative or friend! 😁

I only became aware last night some of my emails have gone somewhere and nowhere 😆🤣😂
I'm not exactly sure what happened, or if it is because I've sent too many at once!
✨️ I'll keep monitoring the issue, but if you have been trying to get in touch and didn't get a reply just send me a message!

I haven't got far with sorting out the shop (really, what can I do in less than 2 hours?!?) 😆
But look, I am seeing empty shelves and I don't like that!
✨️ I'll need to fill them so I'll be advertising for Shelf Space again 😁

And just for a laugh you need to know I'm not paying you to display your products! You will be paying Me! 😆 Oh yes, it happened! Some people think I should have the privilege of looking after their products, advertising on 3 social media platforms, take them to events and generally work to sell them and still give them money 😆🤣😂

We are on the second day of school settling in so I'll only be in the shop for a short while, between 1:30pm-3pm.

✨️ I have a quick question for you, if you help me with this I'll be very grateful!
I stock a small supply of essential oils for diffuser and oil burners. They are what I class as low quality because I wouldn't use them in my cosmetic products.
With the seasons changing I've been asked if I can bring some more in. Now here is my question!
✨️ Would you purchase a blend made by me, at a slightly higher price, or just buy anything that's available? This will help me decide what I should do next, resell whatever I find at wholesale or make some fitting for the season ahead.
I prefer making them, as I find some of them don't even smell as they're supposed to (lower quality EO have synthetic fragrances added).

I wonder how many people, like myself, will be giving their kids a hair cut today! 😆
