An Important Announcement!

If you've been floating around our website the last week or so you might have noticed some changes.  Prices have been going down and specials have been sticking around longer than expected and the clearance aisle is constantly being topped up.

Well there's a reason for that!

We're closing our doors!

We have been fighting a losing battle with our local shire about being able to run our business from home and with business being incredibly slow this year we are unable to justify paying rent on a separate office any more.

We have also had an extremely busy fostering year, although we have only had 5 children placed with us this year, 4 of them have stayed with us for over 6 months and along with our own 5 children, and our permanent foster child the year has been FULL ON!  Added to which we are transitioning our Autistic boy into High School and it's taking it's toll on everyone.

Those are the big things, but there are lots of other little bits and pieces that added together have contributed to our decision.

BUT

if we HAVE to go out....we plan to do it with a BANG!!!

Everything is marked down!  And it's staying that way until it's all GONE!

And it's not all bad...

I am sure that the Lord has something bigger and better in store for us (secretly hoping it involves a teeny tiny foster bubba...in fact I might even squirrel away a couple of little gumdrops just in case) and I have to confess that I am looking forward to being just a Mum for a while....and being able to keep up with my house work...and maybe even having time to give my poor garden some of the attention it deserves.  AND just think of how much fun it will be packing up ALL that fluff and sending it on its way!

 So we invite you to take a stroll through our website, and share our sale with your friends...and maybe forgive me if I spam you just a little bit on facebook over the next couple of weeks ;)
