COLD WEATHER = HOT CHOCOLATE
Hello on this chilly Canberra night. Well the heater's on, the other half has fallen asleep in front of the telly and the kids are all snuggled up in bed so I thought I'd make myself a frangelico hot chocolate (from the last newsletter) and come and say hello.
It's been a hectic week here with the usual school stuff, music lessons and Bollywood dancing on a Friday night!!! It's so much fun. My two daughters and I do the class together along with a couple of other friends and their daughters. The only unfortunate thing about it is the mirrors lining the wall in front of us. Uuugggh. We do have a lot of giggles though and are even taking part in a concert in September with all proceeds going to the Cancer Council.
I'm very excited to announce that you should see my little shop, Country Inspirations, profiled in the September editions of Australian Country Crafts and Country Threads magazines with editorials to follow in October. I spent most of last weekend agonising over which products to send. I managed to stop myself after 3 very full boxes :)
I've just received some great patterns from a new company and plan to test them all out over the next week or so, which should be fun, before loading them onto the site. I believe they'll be just as quick and easy as the Country Whims patterns I already stock. I'll let you know how it goes.
Come and visit the site soon and sign up to become a member. You'll receive a newsletter with upcoming specials and recipes for things like the delicious (and rather more-ish) frangelico hot chocolate that is going down very nicely right now.
I think a gift to one of the first 50 comments might have been aiming a bit high to start with. To keep things moving let's say one comment from the first 25 will be chosen randomly and something lovely will be sent snail mail to that person.
If you're going to be in the ACT area don't be shy. Give me a call (you'll find the number under 'Contact Us' on the home page, link below) and we can arrange a time that suits you to pop over and check out the shop and have cuppa.
Well the cup is empty and it's getting pretty cold. Time to find my ragdoll, Storm, who has become extra cuddly in this cold weather. Undecided as to whether I'll wake the other half up and get him off the lounge, there's a bit of snoring happening out there and I can't disturb the cat!
Until next time,
Emma
