Moving Shop

It's been a while. The poor little MT Blog has become somewhat neglected :(

But in happier news - we are moving to a much better store space! Check it out!

FRANKIE goodies now back in store

Hi y'all.

It's all here! After two trips to the Post Office lugging boxes back to the shop (plus a detour to get coffee - that's my exercise done for the day. )- the FRANKIE goodies have arrived! We now have more Afternoon Tea and Sweet Treats cookbooks plus the lovely 2011 diaries and calendars. They are very VERY pretty. Come and get them! I also figured mini muffins were in order (you know to reverse the effects of before mentioned exercise) so for today I have free sweeties for one and all!
