From the Manager

Joy of joys it has been raining over the last few days and whilst it's probably not so great for business, my little patch of earth is singing. I also have a new addition to my little 'family' a giant stumpy tail Lizard who has taken up residence in the front yard. What a joy it is to be able to sit at my window and watch Mother Earth in all her glory. It makes me realize that just like nature somehow, what you need always comes when you need it. The pressures we all face with fuel costs, mortgage rates and so on can put so much pressure on us that sometimes we forget to 'stop and smell the roses'.

For those of you who have been to the shop recently you will notice that we have done some minor renovations. Removing the partition wall has opened the shop up making a larger workshop area. When finished, it will also allow space for displaying art pieces for sale or inspiration.

I would just like to say thank you to all the people who supported our decision to become perfume free and especially to those participants who have left their perfume home! The difference it makes to me is substantial and is very, very appreciated. Thank you.

Well take care, keep warm and keep creating. I heard a great new saying from Robyn who recently went on a Retreat:

'I am too blessed to be stressed'

I think it is a great reminder to not sweat the small stuff. I'm not sure who penned it but I think it's great!

Cheers
