Our first collection of handcrafted items have now arrived. They are adorable and beautifully made bears from Ruth at Bigfeet bears  http://bigfeetbears.blogspot.de/ I will add photos of them over the coming weeks.

Had a lovely trip to the Harrogate Home and Gift show to stock up on new products for the shop. I'm very excited about the new range which includes a lovely selection of fun stocking fillers for men. I really had to exercise restraint when ordering to ensure I leave enough room for craft makers pieces, after all they were our biggest sellers last year. Keep an eye on the website over the coming weeks to see new photos added.

Re-weatherboarding and insulating the the rear length of the barn is now well underway. It was all going well but the last section has unearthed a few major problems, with several supporting beams just dangling in thin air. Its being repaired as we speak but I'm sure this is not what Richard had in mind for his "relaxing" week off work....
