An end and a new beginning

For those of you who follow our Facebook page, you've probably heard the news that Enchanted Garden will no longer be operating out of our beautiful Berrima location.

 

 I was very sad to make this decision but for many reasons closing the shop was the only option. It is by no means the end of a bricks and mortar presence for Enchanted Garden, we are just putting it on hold until the time is right and somewhere more suitable becomes available.

Even though will will no longer trade from the Berrima shop, i will still endeavour to set up the plaster painting studio in various Southern Highlands locations during the school holidays. I have received lots of fabulous feedback about our plaster painting activity so i really want to keep that going. I will be expanding to include other crafts as well as a few other magical ideas i have up my sleeve.

 

Unfortunately, the closure of the shop means we can no longer host fabulous parties in the party room. I received so much wonderful feedback from everyone who had a party there, that it made the decision to close a million times harder. As with all endings though, there are new beginnings......

We are not stopping our parties, instead, we will just bring them to you. 

All the good things about an Enchanted Garden party will be brought to your house, all you need to provide is the food, space and the children of course. We are hoping to even include some catered packages in the near future so you won't have to do a thing but sit back and relax while the  kids have a ball.

 Party packages will be available on our website soon.

So, for our last little bit of time at our lovely Berrima shop, we will be doing plaster painting all next week. The studio will be open Monday 9/1/12 until Saturday 14/1/12 from 10am till 2:30pm. There is no need to book for plaster painting, just show up and have fun.

The shop and life

It's been crazy around here these past few months. I got the keys to the shop in June so we have been super busy getting it all set up. We are still far from finished, but with 3 young children and running 2 businesses, there isn't a whole lot of spare time.

 The entrance to the party/craft studio

We've already had a few parties at the shop!!! They were all plaster painting parties and went really well. I've had great feedback from all the parents. I have a fairy party coming up next month which i am SUPER excited about!

Our current party packages can be found here.

I'm also starting to put together some 'at home' party packages. We already have plaster painting packages available, but soon there will be bag & t-shirt painting kits, fairy door kits and loads more.

  Paint a bag kits

The shop is currently only open by appointment and for parties. I am hoping to have a few permanent days there soon, i just need to work around my littlest guy. I am happy to let the business grow slowly. I don't want to miss out on all those precious moments with my children so i will let it grow with them.

Ok, well i think that's about all from me today. I have a mountain of housework waiting for me that has been totally neglected with the shop, sick kids (and grownups) and horrible weather which has made washing impossible.

Treasures in the garden

I'm excited about the new faery dust vials that we now have at Enchanted Garden. They are just so tiny and magical. 

The label on each one has been hand dyed and burned by me (with guidance from the faeries) and i can just imagine how enchanting they would be hidden throughout a garden for a fairy party.

Speaking of garden fairy parties, I am still waiting to hear back from the real estate agent in regards to a commercial property i am trying to lease for my shop. It has it's very own garden (front & back) and my imagination is working overtime thinking of all the magical places i can create there!! Expect to see a LOT of faery dust.

Some more treasures from my garden, but this is of the edible kind. We have an abundance of tomatoes growing in our veggie patch. All different varieties. The kids have been having great fun picking the red ones (and the odd green one too).

We haven't had much luck keeping a veggie patch thriving in the past, but this time we are determined to make it work. Inquisitive children and a hungry pet bunny do make it a little tricky to keep everything alive, but we are working on it. We had a great crop of celery last year which i hope to start growing again.

That's all from me today, it's another hot, hot day so I'm off to find a a way to keep the kids cool this afternoon.

Relaunch of Website

Ive totally neglected the blog this week, but for a good reason. I've finally finished the new website!!!

I have been wanting to change the look and feel of Enchanted Garden for a while now  and i am quite pleased with the outcome. I would love to know what you think  too :)

We will be focusing a lot  more on handmade products now, made by myself and others. As well as some funky products that you won't find everywhere. We hope to cater for adults as well as the children. We will still have all the wonderful dress up costumes and maybe a few for the grown ups to in the near future.

So please check out the new site: Enchanted Garden and have a little look around.

Keep checking back for more great products coming soon......

I'm so excited to show you our newest product at Enchanted Garden:

They are perfect as magical party favours or just a sweet little gift for someone special. Each one comes in it's own organza bag.

I haven't got them on the website yet as i am just midway through the process of changing over to the new site. They will hopefully be on there by the end of August.  In the meantime, if you wish to purchase any, please contact me at: greenfaery@internode.on.net

They are $2.50 each, or for a party pack of 8 or more $2.00 each.
