You guys blew us away yesterday!

We were close to maximum capacity in both of our sessions yesterday 😁 Thankyou so much to everyone who came down to support our small business! Because of yesterday's turn out, we now have just 2 tote bags left (We expected these to last us all week!!) These will be given on a first come first served basis. Once they're gone, we have the following crafts to choose from:

* Paint your own suncatcher
* Bracelet/ bag charm making
* Paint by numbers (complex designs- suitable for our oldest visitors only)
* Loom bands

There is also the option to create your own craft with staff using our variety of materials 💚

Thankyou once again for your support yesterday. We look forward to seeing you all again today!

Not our usual content but anyone local to Sunnyside Road Area of Droylsden, please please check your gardens, sheds, bushes etc for these two beautiful cats. They've been missing for 4 days and the owners are absolutely heartbroken 😔 They lost 3 and 1 has been found last night on Tree Avenue. So the other two can't be far away!!

Share this post, tag friends who live nearby and help to return these two cats home ❤️❤️

❗YOU ASKED, WE LISTENED❗

Many of you missed our Tote Bag Painting craft at the start of the summer holidays. So...

This week, we're bringing them back!! But once they're gone, they're gone 😱 With the rainy weather this week, it's the perfect indoor activity to keep the kids entertained.

If your child missed out last time, head on down to one of our Craft and Play sessions this week 1-3pm 💚

We provide the materials (choice of acrylic paints or paint pens), inspiration pictures and a beautiful, calming environment. Simply show up, get stuck in and make a beautiful bag to take home!

Our current Summer timetable is:
Tuesday- Saturday

(12pm close on Fridays)

We are loving this but know that routines change during term time.

Let us know in the comments 👇🏼
* What time do you wish to attend during term time?
* What day(s)?
* Should we keep 2 hour sessions or bring back 1.5 hour sessions?
* What kinds of sessions and events do you want to see?
* Any other feedback that would make you want to attend

❗This feedback is so important to us and we need as many of you to respond as possible in the comments. Without it, we are left guessing and often struggling❗
