What's been going on here??

Sometimes when I leave the shop, I'm in a hurry and don't have time to run around and straighten things up from the way customers have left them. Saturday was such a day, so when I opened the door on Monday morning, these chaps looked like they'd spent most of the night across the road in the Tally Ho pub!

Heavy night chaps?

And I had to feel sorry for this little fella too

Breath in!

Then I spotted these 2 - and decided I'd invite you to caption this one.

So what do you think? Leave your captions in the comments section and I might even pick a winner and award a small prize!

Magnetic humour

I just couldn't pretend any more that my 'thought for the day' on Sunday was my own work!

It came from one of these ever popular fridge magnets which seem to tickle so many women who read them in the shop.

Don't forget - you can pop in for a giggle & a cup of tea any time.

We certainly had a few giggles last night at our full - to - capacity' Knit & Natter. Perhaps not as many as last week when we thought a Strip-a-gram had arrived!! But that's another story!

Those who have taken up the blanket challenge are doing stirling work, and there are some lovely colour combinations being prepared for our exhibition, 24th October. (More details later).

We have a full programme of workshops and craft sessions planned for the summer, so do call in and pick up a leaflet.

And another thing!!!!

Leave them here and there is no excuse!

Ok, ok! I hear you all shouting 'give them a break'.

Lets even things up a little then shall we?

Only 'fault' with this one is the bulldog clip just isn't big enough!

Make great wedding gifts don't you think??

Now in store - from East of India £6.95

So, that's the man/woman thing evened out. Fair all round.

But how many of you have ever past a signpost to NO MANS LAND and thought Mmmmm - might just take a look??!!

Pretty in Porcelain

Recently I came across a lovely lady who makes the most beautiful porcelain Hearts & Pebbles.

She refers to them as 'touch stones' - and you do indeed feel the need to touch & caress them.

Each heart or pebble is moulded from porcelain and then decorated with inlay

Impression or screen print.

Although they look very fragile, they are in fact frost proof

But surely far to lovely to put outside.

A unique gift suitable for just about any occasion I think. Made in Devon too.

Hearts £7 Pebbles £16

From Bodmin with love

Not one to be sucked in by advertising or media hype, Jane is rather sceptical of most new products so when she came to me recently singing the praises of a pot of Rose & Honey moisturising face cream she has been given as a present, I was very interested. It certainly smelt gorgeous, and on further investigation it was indeed a lovely nutritious face cream.

I contacted the company and was delighted to find that they are a family firm from Bodmin. All their products are natural, containing no parabens, lanolin or artificial fragrances. They don't test on animals and their creams are made to tried & tested old country recipes starting with a base product of beeswax.

So, having tried and loved some of their samples, we now stock B Skincare.
