Katie's calendars are here πŸ—“

These were popular last year and this year's photos are just as brilliant πŸ“Έ

We know it's only September, but you've been asking, especially those of you who like to post calendars overseas so they are on the stand with the books in our stationery department πŸ˜‰

On another animal theme - Stan has some brilliant news to share about one of the collection tubs on our counter. The NewArc have counted up all the pennies in it and there was a whopping Β£75.33 in there!! Well done to everyone who has dropped their loose change into their tub πŸ‘

A special customer today ... this is Karina, a 5 year old barn owl with a liking for malachite πŸ¦‰

After choosing a crystal, she enjoyed a tour of the shop. She was particularly interested in what was in our big cupboard πŸ€“

After a thorough investigation, she spent some time talking to our other customers, before purchasing her crystal and leaving πŸ›

Oh my word, what an absolute privilage it was to hold her and walk her around. She was so well behaved and chattered away just lovely. Such an incredibly beautiful bird πŸ’–

It's little surprises like this that makes an ordinary day so special πŸ¦‰πŸ₯°

Thank you Karina for visiting us and thank you to all our customers this weekπŸ™

Enjoy your weekend πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈπŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ

Another early start to meet a delivery this morning 😴

More chocolate, but not for us this time. This delivery is heading to the school (TGS) for their Fairtrade Fortnight events 🌍

We did, however, top-up our own chocolate supplies and ... ordered one case each of dark and milk chocolate advent calendars πŸŽ„

Here's a rare behind-the-scenes photo of our tiny wee store room which is packed to the rafters with packets, tins and jars full of all your favourites, ready for tomorrow's Hairst. We really couldn't get anymore in there! Bear with us if you need something from in there - it may take us a while to find it πŸ™ˆ

We're not quite Hairst ready, but I'm sure it'll be all right on the day🀞

Tomorrow, we will open an hour earlier than normal. Martyn has to help set up the Rotary stall, so I will open our door to customers at 8.30am. See you tomorrow! πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈπŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ

More top-ups today ...

Lewis of Crafted Comforts has restocked his wax melts, candles, and other bits n bobs - Martyn went to collect our order from him yesterdayπŸ•―

He also went to collect our order of oats from Boyndie aka Hamlyns🌾

We did get a big sack of flour in today, but Deveron Projects have taken it, so we only have around 1kg of strong white bread flour now until next Thursday 🍞

Andy made sure we have plenty of his runny and soft set honey - it's local to this area and incredibly tasty🍯

And Kate popped in with a restock of Neptune's Coffee and some of her own crafty items too Barking Mad Textilesβ˜•οΈπŸ§Ά

What a busy day! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

We've a new range of cards in ...

They are prints of original pastel paintings that have been done by Jeanette - known locally as "Jeanette-the-vet" as she was Huntly's vet until she retired last year.

They are lovely and we're very pleased to have them in our card section alongside the many other locally hand made cards.

Welcome aboard Jeanette!
