Nellie's mum said she had to get her Moana dress on to get a picture 😂

You lot have done it again 😭

That's it, Christmas is fully booked! End of October, November and December are chock full of your lovely Christmas bookings.

THANK YOU! 💖

I do have cancellation list if you would like to join that you are more than welcome. Please send me a message with a rough idea of where you are (eg, Seaton, Maryport, Workington, etc) and a contact number if you would like to be contacted if there is a super last minute booking available in your area.
Cancellation list closes Monday 5th August.

If you are booked in this year and for whatever reason cannot make your booking PLEASE just let me know. I know how it is that time of year and I totally understand if money is tight or if you have booked to go away for the holidays. PLEASE let me know so I can fill the space before it's too late! I do have a few December birthdays that I wasn't able to squeeze in and it would be such a shame for them to miss out for a silly no show 😔
I will be messaging a few days/week before to double check you still would like your booking.

My books for next year are NOT yet open.
I will be opening my books for windows for the full year from mid January onwards.

Once again thank you, thank you thank you!

Hello!!

A few of you may have seen this beautiful fluffy girl (Kevin 🤣) On my stories the other day. She absolutely refused to move whilst I was painting - such a lazy gal vibe. Absolutely LOVE Kevin the queen 👑💖

It's always an absolute pleasure to be asked to come back to The Fairydust Emporium Silloth. Such a lovely bunch of ladies thank you for supplying me with coffee! 🥰

They have such a cracking menu of goodies to choose from by the way. If you have a sweet tooth it's an absolute must! Dog friendly too 🐶 (I could have gotten this finished so much quicker if I wasn't making a fuss of every dog that entered the building 😂)

They open on Saturday nights now too 🥳🍻 Where they serve the most delicious looking smash burgers so me and dogs will be popping by to try those! 🤤

Thanks again for having me back guys!

Sharing on behalf of my soon to be brother in law 💖
Not only does Matt makes my sister SO incredibly happy but he is the most kind hearted, wickedly talented (yet extraordinarily humble) dude I know.

Any donation is SO appreciated, no matter how small 💖

'Matt has been battling bowel cancer for just under a year and despite surgery and chemo, his latest scan shows that the cancer has spread into his liver and stomach lining. His cancer team have said although there is the option of trying a different type of chemo, they don’t hold out much hope that it will cure him and is likely to at best extend his life a little.

Essentially, we have almost exhausted the options available on the NHS. But we aren’t ready to give up on him.

There is an option to have a sample of the tumour sequenced which will give us the maximum amount of information on its make up, which will then show the cancer team exactly what drugs to use to damage it - to either slow it down, or there is just a small chance that they may be able to kill it.

Obviously, we want to give him access to absolutely everything that might give him a chance. The only access to this treatment is via the private route which is going to be expensive - just the sequencing, which involves sending a sample of the tumour to the USA to a specialist lab, is a little under £3k and any drugs will apparently be about £3k a month after that. We will fund what we can as a family, but obviously any ‘fighting fund’ you can give us would be very much appreciated.

Without any treatment, his cancer team have told us he won’t make it past the end of this year. With the access to sequencing, if it turns out to be something specific they have drugs for, he may have a 15% chance of survival. That has to be worth a shot.'

Hello everyone!

Please bare with me in regards to message replies 🙏 I can't message back everyone at the same time because I often have to send a list of availablility out and it can just be a nightmare for double booking 😭

I'm working from the bottom up, first come first serve basis as per usual. The more you message the more your name gets bumped up the page 😭 Messager really doesn't do me any favours with this stuff 😅

I appreciate every enquiry 💖

Thanks for your patience!

Hello everyone!
Just a quick message to say I am fully booked for Christmas windows this year.

I'm absolutely gob smacked it's already full thanks so much to everyone who has booked 🥰

I have thought about how to go a about booking next year to make it a bit easier for everyone (including me). It is on a first come first serve basis but I don't usually announce when books are open for fear of being bombarded with messages that I just can't cope with. Having to give out the list of availablility to several people just screams a double booking nightmare!

Appointment times can vary due to designs and travel so I can't use the typical book online system many others use unfortunately. I need to figure out a way to do it. Does anyone know of any booking systems that work on a take a number basis? Any advice would be great!

I do have a cancellation list if anyone would like to join please message me with you name and address and contact number if possible, just so I can get in touch quickly if there is a last minute no show or cancellation. Thank you!

Anyone who is booked in, I will be in touch for deposits if you have not already left one as I was let down far too many times last year.

Thank you all,
Hope you all have an amazing week!

Katy 💖
