Broadford parents 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Please let your kids come to our front porch at home after school Friday to grab a trick or treat bag 🎃💀👹

Halloween is our favourite time of year and it's such a shame for the kids to miss out on so much of the Halloween fun this year, so we just thought we'd make up some wee trick or treat bags.

We'll leave our door open (unless we start flooding!) Please allow them to just come inside the front door, they DO NOT need to knock or ask. This way, they don't need to touch anything (other than their goody bag!) & won't come into contact with anyone. If we have to close the door over cause of the weather, the kids are very welcome to just open the front door. (We won't hear them even if they did give us a knock).

Our house is just 2 doors from the shop. It's joined onto the Harbour Restaurant. We have a yellow front door. Myself & our wee girl have made it look all spooky while Paul has been sitting (resting up) carving pumpkins!

Happy Halloween!
(We thought Fri might be the best day to do this cause there will be kids passing after school & the weather is looking a bit better than Sat 🙄)

Our poppies are for sale from the front porch of our house!

It would be such a shame not to raise as much as other years from selling our poppies but we realise many of you won't want to make an appointment at the shop to buy one or try ringing the bell for entry, so we've decided to sell them from the porch!

The poppies are made by mum Fyona and are £5 each. Your FULL £5 will be donated to Poppy Scotland.

We also have some new glittery ones too!

Our house is really easy to find. It's only 2 doors from our shop & it's joined onto the Harbour Restaurant, directly opposite the Dunollie Hotel. Myself & our wee girl have made it all spooky so we are easy to spot! Our front door is yellow & I've popped a Poppy Scotland sign on the door just so that you can be sure you have the right house! Please DON'T knock, just go inside. The poppies are in a wee dish for you to help yourselves. Please put your money through the letter box in the INNER door which is kept locked. We'll leave the outer door unlocked during the day & early evening for the next while.

Also remember that our poppies (but not the new glittery ones) are available to order on our website and can be posted to you for £1.

A wee sneak peak of something to come! Hoping to have a couple of new Skye seashore pieces online for the end of the week.

......when your friend just happens to be the best baker and the kindest person too! We got a spooky red velvet brain cupcake surprise delivery today and they are (sorry, 'were') the best red velvets we've ever tasted! Laura's cakes are available to buy on certain days at the Post Office/ Bùth na h-Ahainn here in Broadford (we hear some of these brainy 🧠 bad boys are available there now!) and by ordering from Laura herself at Creatures of Habit Cakery

I'm back at the shop this week but missing this guy from the workshop! He's going to be staying home for a couple of weeks following an operation so during that time I'm sticking with the 'open by appointment' idea. Unfortunately I'm not going to be here full time, as we had been since we re-opened, because I'm juggling the business & family life. (Thank goodness for grannies & grandads!) But please do just get in touch if you'd like to pop in. I will be happy to hear from you 😁

The situation at the moment also means that we're unable to do any repair work or engraving until around mid November. We have less pairs of hands here at the shop & workshop since lockdown so we're not going to be able to offer our usual repair & bespoke service in the run up to Christmas. This means that Paul will only have a couple of weeks to work on repairs between coming back & starting to focus on honouring Christmas orders, so please do get in touch during this time to book your repairs in if you need to have something done before Christmas.

Finally, I am SO sorry to be talking about Christmas in October!

Oh and Paul is doing really well. Nothing serious & thank you for all the get well wishes. His movement is very restricted but he can't resist pumpkin carving at this time of year so I'm lining them up for him for a marathon year of carving! He's never had so much time on his hands to pumpkin carve. Photos coming soon. They're epic! 🎃

The perfect glass for outdoor weekend drams?! Maybe not the weather for outdoor socialising this weekend but slàinte anyway! (Just joking, our 'drink' is actually Golden Syrup while we're off the drams 🤣😭)
