I love this poster...it takes me back to my childhood when Mum got us to make all our presents for friends and aunties and Grans ....it's amazing what you can do with a small amount of money and actually produce something that is unique! I also love the bit where it says "Buy from independent shops"...I have started my christmas shopping at the fairs that I attend..there are going to be some lucky people out there this Christmas who are going to get some lovely presents that you can't find on the high street and that are well designed and expertly made! So go on......Show the banks who's boss!!!

Welcome to September's newsletter. I hope that you all have had a wonderful summer and been to some exciting places, but dare I say it, we are now on the count down to Christmas! However, I'm hoping for an Indian Summer and putting off the Christmas To-Do list until next month We have lots of exciting news to share from new products, to recipes to Customer of the Month, even some handy hints and tips and where you can see me this month, so I hope you enjoy reading it. New Products Following the successful launch of my greeting cards at the Driffield Show, you are now able to buy them on line for the first time. You can buy them individually or save when you buy 6....take a look Taken from my original watercolours and left blank for your own messages, I'm sure you will find some that you like. The NEW "Andy" Bag, so called as it's very Handy Andy, comprises of cotton and cord and because of the length of it's re-inforced hessian webbing straps, can either be worn over the shoulder or carried in your hand. With the contrast cord or twill lining it becomes reversible for a change too! Very serviceable as it has a dark coloured lining and the body has also been strengthened for durability. Size:43cms x 28cms Ideal for taking on holiday, shopping at your local farm shop or just nice & fun to have handy at any time to brighten your day! New Stock arrives at AGA To celebrate the launch of the new AGA Total Control oven, Country Warmth in Norton near Malton commissioned some new aprons including some old favourites.....why not pop down and take a look. As these are bespoke for AGA you won't find them anywhere else! How to harvest your lavender Lavender can help the body and mind to relax and when used correctly it is a valuable little oil to have with you at all times, as it is antiseptic, antibiotic and antiviral. So if you have lavender in your garden, get picking! It's best to harvest it when it is in full flower as it holds it's scent the best and longest. Arm yourself with an apron with pockets - I use my favourite garden apron as it has lots - a ball of string, a pair of scissors or secateurs and a few paper carrier bags...read on Glut of tomatoes? Gosh, it doesn't seem five minutes since I last had to deal with a glut of tomatoes...so if you're like me and are looking for something really quick & easy to do with your little red darlings then you may find this recipejust the job..... for an added piz-zaz I've included a chopped red chilli this year...watch this space! Customer of the Month Isn't he a cutie?! I just couldn't resist this photo, so a big thank you to Rohan's Mum, Liz for sending it in. He's pictured here with his mrs madden makes celebration baby cushion. He looks so laid back and happy. Congratulations to Liz & Rohan, from West Yorkshire, who win this month's voucher towards any future purchases. In every monthly newsletter, I will be featuring a customer of the month. This will allow 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 will 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 September. Tip of the Month Want to save on seeds for 2012? Then this is the time of year to start collecting seed heads from your flowers that are finishing. These wonderful marigolds have been blooming all summer in my veg garden and they were from only a handful of seeds from last year's blooms. Pick them and place them in a brown paper bag. Tie the top loosely with string and put in a warm, ventilated dark room such as a linen cupboard. Within weeks you should have lots of seeds ready for next spring's sowing. Once dried you can store them in paper envelopes....don't forget to mark them with the name of your flower. You can also do it with the sunny happy cosmos... Meet me in September Friday 30th September Shelley Village Hall near Huddersfield 11am to 2pm in aid of MacMillan Have a wonderful September and keep those photos and emails coming as I love to hear from you Best wishes, ©Copyright 2011 |
