Good Afternoon All,

I have recovered from the tummy wog but have not yet been able to drink coffee or wine - and that makes life a little dull

New stock - lots of orange and red sea bamboo, Greek Ceramic,

beautiful gold foil and at last I have been able to reorder the silver with crystals and large holes.

I have reconsidered our workshop format and decided to offer more full day "Creative Retreats" where we do 2 workshops, eat good food + a glass of local wine and chill out. We will use the gallery room and the courtyard in Summer. We will offer a range of workshops including art and well being - see the attachment
