Welcome to the Wonders of March!

March is a month filled with excitement and anticipation as we transition from winter chill to the warmth of spring. With various events to celebrate, including World Wildlife Day on the 3rd, there’s so much to explore!

Spotlight on Special Days

Mark your calendars because March is packed with cool days! After World Wildlife Day, we celebrate World Book Day on the 5th. This day encourages us to delve into the magical world of literature. Pair that with World Sleep Day on the 13th, it’s the perfect excuse to curl up with a good book! Don’t forget about Mother’s Day on the 15th; it’s a wonderful time to appreciate the mother figures in our lives.

Spring into Action!

The spring equinox on the 20th heralds longer days and blooming flowers. It’s the perfect opportunity to shake off the winter blues and embrace creativity! Speaking of spring, our new Mother’s Day card making kits are now live, just in time for crafting heartfelt gifts. Additionally, take a peek at our stall during spring craft fairs for sweet treats, small Easter gifts, and essential craft supplies!

As we prepare to spring forward on the 29th and adjust our clocks, let’s take the time to appreciate all the joys this month brings. Whether it’s celebrating wildlife or crafting unique gifts, March truly captures the spirit of creativity and community. Enjoy all that it has to offer!

Until our next catch-up, happy crafting!

Reflecting on a Busy December and an Exciting January

Our Apologies for December’s Hiccups

We would like to sincerely apologise to everyone who placed orders or tried to in December. Our website experienced an unexpected surge in traffic, and it couldn’t quite keep up! Thankfully, we’ve sorted out the issues now, and we appreciate your patience as we navigated through that chaos.

Highlights of January

As we step into January, there are some neat dates to keep on your radar! From National Shortbread Day on the 6th to Penguin Awareness Day on the 20th, and not forgetting Squirrel Appreciation Day on the 21st, there’s plenty to celebrate. We can’t overlook the fantastic International LEGO Day on the 28th and the culturally rich Burns Night on the 25th. Make sure to mark your calendars!

Looking Ahead with the Craft Box

With the bustling Christmas season behind us and a whirlwind of craft fairs at Paisley Town Hall completed, it’s refreshing to take a breath. Meeting so many new and potential customers was a delight! January gives us a chance to reflect on the previous year and reassess our goals for the Craft Box. While we don’t have any markets/fairs scheduled for January, we’re buzzing with excitement for more events in 2026. Stay tuned—it’s only the beginning!
