*Shout out for some suggestions from local customers*
As well as planning the Christmas Shopping Event in the village, we also need to make some plans for the Christmas shopping season at Love from Skye aside from the village event. We welcome any suggestions from you about anything different you would like to see us do, from stock to opening hours or just anything you would like to see to tempt you into the shop throughout December. All suggestions welcome. Also, sorry to keep using the 'C' word!
In other news, entry to our giveaway is now closed! The winner will be announced tomorrow so keep your eyes peeled!

Our "Wee Gallery" display will change again at the end of this month. We are so enjoying having this incredibly beautiful work by Helena Emmans in the space. I feel so relaxed & peaceful every time I stand and gaze at her display. Our wee corner of the shop has a little piece of each medium Helena works in...hand dyed thread pieces, original paintings, limited edition prints, silver spoons & copper pebbles. Helena's work really is worth popping in to see.

This giveaway is a wee opportunity for us to thank our customers for your support over the summer season - visitors who came to see our shop & workshop, locals who kindly recommended us to visitors and locals for your continued support of what we do by shopping with us. It is SO much appreciated - whether you buy something from us, just pop in for a look, send someone our way or comment on our posts.
We're now looking forward to a winter season of special events & offers and we will of course be open all year.

The calm before the storm?! It's the most beautiful morning in Broadford today. Stunning light and insanely warm!
Tomorrow is probably going to be wild out there and quiet in here so we'll launch a wee competition. Keep an eye out!

CHRISTMAS ALERT! (Sorry!)
But first...isn't Broadford amazing? Obviously we're biased! But today is a perfect October day. My favourite. I grabbed a coffee and took a walk around the bay to gather my thoughts before opening up this morning.
So, Christmas. (Sorry again for talking Christmas in October!) We've started organising the village Christmas Shopping Event & have delivered info to Broadford businesses. If you haven't heard from us but you have a business in the village & would like to think about joining in then please get in touch asap. This year's deadline for getting all info to us is 22nd October & the event will be on Friday 30th November.
Ps please excuse the paper cup. Unplanned coffee stop & didn't have my awesome 'total roaster' cup by Gie It Laldy with me!

During the summer months our bike gets in a lot of holiday photos! We love noticing visitors snap pictures of it but we love it even more when we notice customers having a special wee moment when they leave our shop (which I noticed out of the window after serving this lady & her husband!) Another of our favourite things during the season is when visitors take the time to send us photos from their visit.
Things are considerably quiter now that October is here. As we're sure is the case for most small businesses in places like Skye, we slightly dread the winter months! But more positively, as things begin to take a slower pace, we begin to think about planning some new things and organising different events for the winter. So we have some exciting things to come!
