Well, my wish from last month's newsletter for an Indian Summer has come true! I just can't belieeeeve it! It's October and here I am sitting in my garden, surrounded by blooming fuschias and dazzling cosmos and listening to the very busy bees buzzing in and out of the flowers and yes I hope wherever you are that thesun is shining too! They have just announced on the radio that this is the hottest1st of October ever on record with temperatures reaching the dizzy heights of 29.9 degrees!! How wonderful is this?? Summer at last. Make the most of it.
Well we have lots of exciting news to share and shows to tell you about in the run up to - dare I say it - Christmas.
Now what shall I wish for this month???
New Products
My new range of Christmas cards are now available to buy on line , so please take a look - it's never too early to get your cards written and out of the way...another job done! This one was inspired by my friendly robin in our garden.
Customer of the Month
I do like a nice wedding and this one sounded wonderful with tea and scones on the beach in Cornwall! The Best Man is pictured here with the happy couple's mrs madden makes wedding ring cushion, complete with their wedding rings tied on safely!
Congratulations to Denise,sister of the groom, who commissioned the cushion and very kindly entered the photo into this month's draw. She wins this month's voucher towards any future purchases. Handy for Christmas!
In every monthly newsletter, I will be featuring a customer of the month. This allows you to see how other customers are using our products. In addition, it will help you feel confident that you are going to get the service and attention you need.
If you have a photo that you want featured and want to be entered into next month's draw, please email it in before the end of October.
