Busy, busy week!
Loads happening this week. Really looking forward to setting up Meikie’s silk painting exhibition, don’t forget the preview on Friday 6- 8.30.

Our first silversmithing course starting on Wednesday is now just about booked up. And of course in the meantime my marketing mission for Bags2riches is still all go.
