No bull, we’ve had a LOT of new stock in (well technically there are two of them and they looked a lot smaller when we saw them in the aircraft hanger show room)
New range of cards, ladies n gents block print clothing, wooden crafts, a boxful of winter jumpers yet to unpack and if that wasn’t enough to keep us busy we unloaded a van full of tiles at 7am this morning for the back porch we are building 😵‍💫🤗🤷‍♂️

Work, home and family life has been pretty full on for the last few months and amazingly our 3 night break away has turned into 4 nights!
“WONDERFUL” you might say…..???
Let me give you our “Holiday" itinerary….
Thanks to them digging up the A49 overnight until 6am, we are now stopping at my Dads in Oswestry the first ”Extra night” in the “Snoring room”.(Where Christine sometimes escapes to when his snoring is driving her mad).
Then, up at 5;30am to drive over 3 hrs to Skipton in Yorkshire to visit our suppliers “Namste” to see their new autumn/Winter stock and do a few hours of cash n carry style “Extreme shopping”
Next day, up at 6am to get ready and have breakfast and be in Harrogate for 9am to attend the home and gift fair which will be a full day.
A new day and a trip to Skipton to visit our suppliers “From The Source” to see their gifts, clothes and bags selection.
Our last day will entail a 4hr 30 minute drive home with a visit to ANOTHER supplier Nr Sheffield on the way back.
If anyone would like us to organise their honeymoon or trip of a lifetime just ask but don’t expect any time to relax or to take in the scenery LOLS x
We will of course then be looking for an empty shelf in the shop to put it all on.......Yeah, good luck with that.

More new cards!
This time from a wonderful card company that does not charge it’s artists for being on their website and can give them a great platform to be seen without paying web bots to boost their views 🥰🥰
This is a local artist from East Herefordshire who is a leaded glass artist called Tamzin Abbott.
We saw her work whilst pootling about on the bikes and tracked her down (what else would we do on a day off eh?)
The colours are stunning even on these greeting cards, I can only imagine what the originals would look like 🥰🥰

We managed to catch up with Trustees Dawa Sherpa and Mike Hagen yesterday from the charity we raise funds for (with your wonderful help) that build schools and support teachers in Nepal so they can deliver sustainable education, break the cycle of poverty and deliver menstrual health training and supplies to provide equal opportunities for all children.
We first met them some 13 yrs ago whilst treking to the Bakhapalam school opening in 2011 and we have been supporting children's education in Nepal ever since through quizzes, marathons and sales of donated books in our shops.
Dawa was so happy to describe the impact your amazing support has made to the children of Nepal and we caught up on the latest projects that Classrooms In The Clouds were supporting.
After a hearty breakfast (very nearly in 2 seperate cafes because who knew there was a Csons in Ludlow AND Shrewsbury eh? ) we met up with fellow supporters Knighton Rotary Club and we all had an update on the 25 teachers CITC now sponsor in the 70 classrooms they have built. How Amazing is that??
It was Dawa's last but one day of a whirl wind tour of Britain to meet, thank and inspire sponsors and donors before heading back to Nepal to carry on the good work.

Happy Birthday us!
Our Kaboodle in Church Stretton has been open 20yrs today 🥳
Our first conversations with the locals was usually explaining that it was no longer Angela’s shop and where the best place was now to buy big knickers 🤣
In the early days we had everything crammed into the 2 halves of the shop either side of a massive chimney breast with Shayne defying physics and squeezing in a new display unit into space that didn’t exist every month or so. 🤗😵‍💫
A few years later we managed to pry the building away from Angela and began the big brave expansion. An extension, chimney removal and 3 months of being closed later, we opened again with a brighter airy feel…… until…… Shayne gradually packed it full again 🤗🤗
So with that in mind, we would like to offer our wonderful valued social media friends a 20% discount if you go in the shop this week and quote the phrase “You can’t sell gaps”.
Feel free to tell all your family and friends, its too good to keep the great news to yourself 🥳
Offer ends 4pm Sunday 7th July 2024 in Church Stretton store only.
A huge thank you to all your support over the years and to Angela for giving us the opportunity to meet you all 🙈

Introducing our stunning Kantha shrugs, versatile garments that can also be worn as open jackets. Featuring a decorative tassel trim and a large side pocket, these beautiful pieces are a celebration of tradition, sustainability, and the art of recycling.

Kantha is one of the oldest and most cherished forms of embroidery, originating from the heart of India. Women from all rural classes practice this time-honoured craft, infusing each piece with their skill and passion. The name "Kantha" refers to both the unique style of running stitch and the finished work of art.

Our Kantha items are not just beautiful garments; they are a testament to sustainability and creativity. They are crafted from recycled cotton saris, which gives each piece a character of its own.

Super soft and great for summer evenings in the garden or winter sofa lounging. There is BOUND to be a colour on it that matches your favourite earrings! (or you could always buy more)
Kantha Shrugs £59.99
Earrings £8.50
Butterfly Brooch £3.99
Cat Card £2.50
