shop half sorted

With Arthur starting school this week, life has begun it's unescapable (is that a word?) routine... To be honest I'm not great with routine so whilst we're getting used to the school thing, tomorrow the shop will be shutting at 3pm. Saturday will be 10am - 4pm.
I am feeling better after spending the day re-arranging and cleaning and looking forward to bringing some new ideas / things into Arthur's Circus. Our sale will start next Thursday and go for the rest of February. Items will be priced at between 10-40% off. Time to make some room for new stock.

we're back

Arthur has started school so the shop is back open tomorrow... we'll be doing a little rearranging over the next few days (so that the shop isn't as messy looking as my desk) and then we will be having our first ever sale... We'll also be having a wee sale online too for those far away. Keep looking as it will be a discount code thingy me thinks

have map will travel

It's still holiday time at Arthur's Circus, no grand travelling to far away destinations but the good ole taking each day as it comes, days at the beach, hanging out with family and friends. Arthur starts school this year, so we have decided to keep the shop closed until school starts in Feb. Also North Melbourne is always a bit of a ghost town come summertime... but we have plans to change the shop around a bit and have our first big sale when we open again. The online shop is always open and we mail out once a week. It's going to be 41 degrees today so we're off to see the Fantastic Mr Fox at the cinema and eating ice cream. Hope your holidays are fun.

christmas card 2009

Tis the time for the unveiling of ye olde christmas card 2009. Arthur's back and the santa headband may no longer be flashing and fitting quite so well, but we did it in record time with no kerfuffles. If you want to peek at 2008 head here and 2007 is here

oh no ho ho ho

we are open for a wee bit longer over the next 2 weeks....click on the pic to see and read.

heading to market

tomorrow I am taking the circus to the Yarravillle Christmas market. Nick will be in the shop and after Arthur's (ahem) help at the previous market he's off to play elsewhere. It's open from 10am but sometimes people sneak in a little earlier and on until 3pm. If you need more details and a list of some the lovely stall holders attending head here. It's also on Sunday too, some stallholders the same some different.

I have been meaning to do a blogpost for about 10 days now but figured I'd only be whinging about the hot November weather, the fact that Arthur and I have colds and that Arthur is having grommets put in and adenoids taken out in the very near future. See not very exciting, no wondrous tales of second hand finds or fancy photographs to share. See I told you I would whine, but I am working on some new ideas and a fun project too - I just can't share that stuff as yet.
