Wools Tweeds And Warmer Tones

The last day of September, this year has flown hasn't it? 

These last few months I've found pretty tough as I have been plagued by my old friend eczema.

I haven't suffered with the bothersome skin condition for 16 years but I think due to many emotional issues it reared it's head and I have struggled with it for the last 8 months.

You may know that I'm a homoeopath hence the name Hat Therapy [half and half of my trades]

I have treated many people for skin problems but I'm afraid this week I had to give in and get the big guns out namely steriod and anti fungal ointments as I couldn't stand it any longer,

Also I was quite a sight and running the risk of scaring customers away.

So this explains the lack of regular blog posts since the beginning of the year as I have only managed the bare minimum of tasks each day.

However things have improved dramatically and I am feeling much better,

The shop is full to the brim of  my favourite seasons accessories Autumn and Winter.

There's no better season to adorn yourself in warmer hats, scarves and gloves.

Here's a few pictures to show you our season treats.

The shop front has now been given it's new lick of paint, what do you think ?

The Art Market

So tomorrow will be a busy day.

I open the shop at 10am and close at 5pm as usual then it's pack the car, check my list and get myself over to The Art Market at Holmfirth which thankfully is only about 45 mins away.
With help from my lovely friend artist Julia Ogden, we shall set up and be open for the public from 8pm till 10pm. The lovely little gold chair is on loan for the occasion, beautiful shape isn't it.
Sunday 8.30am  I shall be ready to go to Gimbals restaurant  in Sowerby Bridge who are holding a little bijoux Christmas Fair and once I have organised my table I shall hot foot it back to Holmfirth for the rest of the day. I have a friend standing in for me at Gimbals so I need to remember everything she may need for the day.
Fingers crossed I will sell sufficient things to make space for things I need pick up from the Christmas Fair at Gimbals on my way back from Holmfirth.Who knows there my be very little to collect.!
 I may be ready for a stiff drink on Sunday evening.
It's good to be busy.
