Royal Wedding Shop

If you fancy doing a bit crafting once 'that' wedding is all over, we are open as usual.

We don't have any wedding cake but we do have lots of great products at a good price, so why not pop down and celebrate with a bit crafting

Yum!

We've got a new shop opened just along from us, the Butcher's Bakery. They do the most amazing cakes, and to keep it a balanced diet, they do a nice range of filled rolls, pies, sausage rolls etc.

Or if you prefer to make your own they have a great range of fresh meats, sausages etc, all locally sourced. 

If you're needing something for lunch at work, or just fancy a treat, why not pop in and see. They're open from 6.30 a.m. till 6.00 p.m.

Making Cards Special 2011, Cards for Men

Every card maker has a man in their life – whether a husband, a father, a brother a grandfather or a friend.

But the materials and ideas currently available for making greeting cards for men can be limited. So this Special Edition magazine is obviously called Making Cards for Men and is sure to be extremely popular and very much in demand.

This 2011 Special Edition of Making Cards for Men includes 32 sheets of Free Craft Papers, all of which feature a fresh and very different range of images for making cards for the man in your life - whether it’s for your husband, your son, your grandfather or a good friend. And this time there's a completely new source of artwork so they guarantee that the style of the Cards For Men and the matching 32 Free Craft Papers inside is quite different to anything you will have seen before in any UK craft magazine!

The wheels don't always go round and round ...

Apologies to anyone who may have been here first thing this morning.  We found the car had a flat tyre when we went to leave for the shop and it took about an hour to put the spacesaver on and then get the puncture repaired, then the wheel refitted.  Just wish my spare tyre went flat as easily!

Well done though to Kwikfit in Forfar though, they sorted everything out as soon as the wheel was taken in to them for repair.

And to all those who throw screws away, stick them in the bin, instead of leaving them for otheres to drive over!

New Items In Stock

We now have a New Items in Stock page for you to browse.  We'll be posting brief details of the new stock as we get it, just so you know what's coming in.
