December Dates & Shop Hours

Hello it's going to be a busy month and I expect everyone has a list as long as their arm.

My month of December kicks off with my birthday on the 1st and then on Sat 2nd I will have been open 12 years. [fanfare]

Can't quite believe that it will be 12 years but time flies when you are busy doesn't it.

I'd like to say thank you to all those who have supported me by buying hand made and spreading the word one way or another. Many clients have been visiting over this period and still continue to purchase from me so a huge thank you for that.

Also during December I shall be open on Sundays from 12 till 4 and there will be mulled wine and festive nibbles during the weekends while you browse. They say it's going to get really cold so a glass or two should warm you up. The shop is now dressed for the festive period as you can see and smells lovely with all the fresh greenery.

Saturday 2nd December the shop will be open from 10.30 till 5pm as usual but I will be at The Ripponden Christmas Fair from 11am till 6pm. Looks like it will be a lovely festive event with lots of artisan stalls to buy your gifts from.

Sunday while the shop is open I will be off to Altrincham to the very special Little Northern Contemporary Craft Fair.

Anyone who has been to the larger event in Manchester will know how good these gatherings are so expect only the best in a range of wears available from the selection of makers there.

Last but by no means least I will also be at the East Riddlesden Christmas fair on Sunday 17th December which will be held in their wonderful barn. It's a lovely spot if you've never been.

So hope to see some familiar faces over the next 4 weeks if you are visiting Hebden Bridge.

Getting Ready For Christmas

Hello we have been busy getting ready for Christmas shoppers as it's only 6 weeks away !

Lots of people are popping in to see what we have in the shop. Of course hand made items don't suit everyone but most people have a least a few lovers of original gifts and every year I try to fill the shop with different ideas.

I will also be going along to the lovely Hepwoth Christmas Market on Sat 26th / Sun 27th

It's always good with a wonderful selection of artists selling a wide range of goods. Well worth a trip if you are in the Wakefield area.

There's a cafe and seating area for those who prefer to people watch and last year I had customers who had travelled up from London.

Then there's my own Christmas Shopping Saturday which will be Sat 3rd Dec 10am till 5pm so come along and share a glass of something and a few ginger breads to start December off in style.

There is something for everyone in Hebden and if you've never been this year would be a great time to visit.

Chrissie.
