What Mums really want this Mother's Day

What Mums really want this Mother's Day I saw an amazing poster this week. It said "Spend time with your parents, treat them well because one day when you look up from your phone, they won't be there anymore". As a busy, working Mum I can totally relate to this.

A busy week!

A busy week! Over the past few days and nights I have been at several school fairs and one church fair. It's been lovely to meet so many people from across Edinburgh and hear all their lovely comments about my products. I heard from several people that the last time they saw decorations like mine they were in America! Not anymore people they are here in Scotland for you to buy!!   This week I'm off to Prestonpans Infant School Christmas Fair, Corstorphine Primary Fair and Currie Community High School Fair. Can't wait!!
