<strong><span style='font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12px; color: #003300;'>SEPTEMBER 2008</span></strong>SEPTEMBER 2008


It feels like Autumn already here, the schools have been back for a couple of weeks now, so everyone back into their stride again. It seems to have rained right through August so a definate dampness is around, and now the hedgerows are turning, summer has slipped away......

The September issue of COUNTRY LIVING magazine has a 4 page article about me and Dream Acres. It is all really rather flattering and has brought many new people to visit me here on the web site. All in all it has made the past three weeks a complete blur or sewing, filling orders and dashes to the village post office. I have to say a HUGE thanks to Country Living for doing the article and for bringing my little dream that much closer to reality.

The article has brought many new shoppers to Dream Acres and many, many requests from shops to purchase wholesale. I have replied to all these requests with a 'no', so l would just like to say it here - Dream Acres does not supply goods at wholesale/trade prices to anyone. I am afraid being a small craft business means that l just do not have the manpower to fill large orders, and nor is it possible for me to discount my prices. It is hugely flattering to be asked to supply stores accross the country (and overseas too) but it really just is not possible for me to do so.

There are lots of new members in the SECRET GARDEN newsletter group. I have changed things a bit so that now all members receive 10% discount on all their shopping with Dream Acres. Secret Garden members will also receive special offers and have product previews before things go on the web site in general. If you would like to join the group just email me and l will send you the link.


If you want to read about the day to day goings on at Dream Acres (and my general ramblings) you can find this at DREAM COUNTRY CHAT , just click on the button and you will find yourself right there at the heart of things.

Before l forget, I now have a gift wrapping service for my Dream Acres goodies. Take a look at the Gift Wrapping page to see an example of the wrapping, then if you want a particular item wrapped just click on the gift wrap tab. Remember to tell me what you want written on the card if it is being sent directly to the recipient.

Enough of my ramblings here, l have sewing to do.....
