Things are looking up....
Happy New Year to one and all and we hope you had a restful festive period.
We are buzzing with lots of creative ideas for 2025 and are particularly excited about our new kits. We had a soft launch of them at the open studios and sold out of our twin reindeer decorations and had to make lots more! We will soon be putting together our plant hanger kits ready for the spring and our small purse kits, ideal for all ages. All make beautiful gifts for the creative and want to be creative people in your life.
We will be developing this range throughout the year and will keep you posted with all our new product launches.
We are also very excited to be working with some new partners in 2025, you will find us running workshops at; RHS Bridgewater, ArtisOn and Rural Arts. We will also be continuing our relationship with our lovely partners; North Yorkshire Arts School, The Globe and the Craft House in Bingley and well as running our regular - week long residentials at Gartmore House in Scotland.
We are always on the look out for new venues, so if you are a venue or know of anyone that may be interested in our workshops, please contact us at cathy@ce-leathergoods.com. We are keen to explore unusual venues, outdoors places, retreats, historical settings…...just bring on the new!!
Having eaten more than our fair share of mince pie brownies (yes brownies with mince pies in them!), cheese, chocolate and marzipan laden Christmas cake, our thoughts are turning towards vegetables, so why not have a go at this veg packed recipe.
We luckily received the new almanac as a 2025 gift, which is jam packed with gorgeous information about the seasons, nature, gardening, recipes, moons and tides. Now is the time to sow chillis and aubergines in a heated propagator and sweet peas in pots under cover. The first full moon of the year will be on the 13th of January, this is supposed to be a time of reflection before the new moon at the end of January, which is when we are supposed to rejuvenate and innovate.
So whilst our world is covered in snow, it seems like we have permission to put our feet up be kind to ourselves before putting our thoughts into action at the end of the month…..now where did we put those mince pie brownies…….
