NEWSLETTER – AUTUMN /WINTER 2009

Hello Friends

To start this newsletter we wish to apologise to all our clients and suppliers alike.

After a renovation at the building where we housed our offices, all cables for telephones were accidentally removed. After weeks of frustration, and the obvious need for more space, we have finally accepted to move our design and admin office. We are awaiting new lines and beg your indulgence until this is done. We will publish our new numbers as soon as we have them and many will be notified by email or publication of the new details: In the meantime, please use the cell number: 072 345 1456 if you wish to contact us telephonically. Thank You.

As we feel the winter settling in, the air cooling and the dry weather arriving, I’d like to recommend a few sensational ideas to warm up your winter living.

Divine Decor: Sexy & Sensational

The decor scene sees new metallic colours and textures, a welcome return to metallics and retro fabrics ensures we have lots of gold, bronze, silver, pewter, and metallic finishes in any colour you like.

Linens, Silks and Vinyls feature hugely from embroidered fabrics and textures to weaves with hints of lurex and metals. Glamorous and sexy is the order of the day and whether you are funishing your home or designing a sexy table setting for your wedding day, feel free to add a bit of glamour with the latest in new and glamorous fabrics.

Whole Food: Going Organic at Blu Bird

With healthy living comes the importance of organic foods. Oh how I have so longed for a fresh produce market that compares with the incredible markets abroad. The Blu Bird Shopping Center in Bramley Gardens, near Atholl, just off Corlett Drive , hosted by the incredible Robyn Higgins, offers shoppers a sensational organic food market on Sunday Mornings. Everything from fresh herbs and spices to canned and preserved foods, fresh delicious muffins and baked goods, smoked meats and more...My personal favourites are the awesome Balsamic reductions and frozen soups available, and just after finishing my breakfast, I love browsing the various vendor's delicious produce and finding my new indulgence in organic, home made or freshly grown produce.

This month its duck... free range duck produce which includes:

1.Herb and duck liver pate,
2.Duck pate with orange.
3.Con fit .
4.Smoked duck pieces.

Robyn Higgins has succesfully attracted a host of vendors who deliver on their promise and I certainly encourage you to discover the delicious produce available. Well Done!
