✨ Hello August… and thank you, July! ✨

What a month it’s been! 💛

Every time you choose to shop with us, you’re not just buying a gift, you’re supporting a dream, a local maker, and helping keep our little independent shop alive. We never take that for granted, and we’re so incredibly grateful for every single purchase.

A new month also means a brand new Candy Cart Pop-Up! 🎉

This August, we’re delighted to welcome Ladybird Creations to Forever After. You’ll discover a beautiful collection of handcrafted decoupage pieces, including:

🌸 Decorative coasters
🖼️ Stunning artwork
🏺 Unique vases
✨ And lots more gorgeous handmade treasures

Be sure to pop in and have a browse. You never know what special piece you’ll fall in love with!

Here’s to another month of supporting small businesses, discovering talented makers, and filling our shelves with beautiful things. 💕

📍 Forever After Collective, Castleford

🌿 Last chance to shop Sow Deep Biospheres at Forever After! 🌿

This is the final week to browse the beautiful creations from Sow Deep Biospheres before their pop-up comes to an end.

What a fantastic month it’s been! 💚 From miniature terrariums and hanging air plants to statement biospheres, so many of these little ecosystems have found new homes, and it’s easy to see why. They’re low maintenance, beautiful to look at and bring a little piece of nature indoors. 🌱

✨ If you’ve been meaning to treat yourself (or someone else), now’s the time to pop in before they’re gone.

And if you’d rather make your own… we’ve already sold two tickets to Sow Deep’s Terrarium Workshop this October! Join us for a relaxing, hands-on session where you’ll create your own self-sustaining terrarium to take home. It’s the perfect way to spend a creative afternoon. 🍃

Don’t leave it too late. Once the pop-up closes, these gorgeous pieces will be gone!

📍 Forever After, Castleford
💚 Shop the collection while you still can.

You take a week off work… pop into the shop just to catch up on posting… and find this. 👀📦

No note.
No sender’s address.
Just… coffee ☕ and lasagne sheets?! 🤨😂

Who are you?
What do you know?
Why are you feeding us? 🤣

I’m equal parts grateful and utterly baffled. If this was you… please put me out of my misery! 💜

Has anyone else ever received a completely random anonymous parcel, or is this just another chapter in the Forever After saga? 😂🍝☕

Good Monday morning! 💜

I’m back in the shop today after a fabulous week in Greece and I can’t wait to see everyone! 🇬🇷☀️

Today’s plan is to:
✨ Pack all your lovely online orders
✨ Check out all the gorgeous new stock our amazing Collective members have been busy adding to their shelves while I was away
✨ Work my way through a very full inbox!

If you’re waiting for an email or message from me, thank you so much for your patience. I’ll be catching up with everything today. 💕

Pop in and say hello if you’re passing. I’ve missed the shop, and I can’t wait to see what treasures have appeared while I was soaking up the sunshine! 🛍️✨

✨🌿 Looking for something creative to do this weekend? 🌿✨

Our Botanical Plaster Casting Workshop is happening tomorrow, and we still have a few spaces available! 💚

Spend a couple of relaxing hours pressing beautiful flowers and foliage into plaster to create your own stunning framed botanical artwork. No experience needed, just come along, have fun, and leave with something you’ll be proud to hang at home. 🌸✨

It’s the perfect excuse to switch off, get creative, and try something a little different.

And if tomorrow doesn’t work for you, we’ve got plenty more to tempt you…

✨ Fused Glass Workshops
✨ Autumn workshops
✨ Halloween workshops
✨ Christmas workshops now booking

🎄 Plus, let’s not ignore a little bit of Girl Math…

Book your Christmas workshop today, forget all about it, and when the date arrives it’s basically a free day out… right? 🤪
