Hello, just wondering when you are next at Southbank? What time are you at the markets until? I've run out of Splice & Jellybean & am going to burst if I have to wait too long to buy more! ;) (I probably can't make it this Sunday since I'll be at Mt Tamborine!)
I just want to say I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE your products, & the service is super-friendly each time my friends & I visit you out at Stanthorpe.
Will you be starting a fan page on Facebook? I did a search & there was a 'Castle Glen' on there, but it wasn't your one! :(
Kind regards,
Karen
