Its almost noon so a bit late posting on this very wet 🌧 day!! Its not due to get better but tbh its not as deluge-like as was suggested on the news so thats a positive πŸ™Œ

There are a fair amount of people who've made it onsite today to see what we have to offer here at Harts Barn Craft Centre which is fantastic.

And at the time of writing all the shops as well as the Old Dairy Tearoom on the main terrace are open including us, The Mystical Cat, Chaos & Clarity, Miscellany and Quirk Vintage and Collectables, The Troll House, Crafty Upcycling , Eden plants and The Forest Larder. In the Workshop Barn Broadlands Pottery and Creative Needles and are also open, not to mention all of the bookable service businesses including Harts Barn Cookery School, Bridie Thorne Hairdressing, Holistic Health Massage & Massage Trainer, Anna Cole Beauty, and Wye Creative to name but a few.

Come down and support all of our small businesses here at Harts Barn Craft Centre just outside Longhope. Here at The Mystical Cat a bit more Christmas stock has made it out on sale and we have decided to have another mad moment and will offer the tubes of baubles at Β£2.50 each or 2 for Β£4. Bargain!!

We look forward to seeing you all soon πŸ™

Happy Thursday everyone.....the sky is blue and it looks like today is going to be a great day πŸ™Œ

Firstly we'd like to wish one of our very talented crafters, Sharon aka Piggie Presentations a very happy birthday πŸŽ‚. For those that follow us here at The Mystical Cat, Sharon makes some beautiful pieces using pyrography, painting, resin or a mixture of all 3, as well as adding charms and gems to some of her makes. Her works are exclusively sold by us at our shop here in the Forest of Dean and as they are all one offs you'll not find anything the same anywhere else. We've shared a few pictures of Sharon's crafts.

In other news we are slowly getting Christmas out...we had a bit of a move around yesterday and then wished there was a "restore" button we could press to put everything back where it was in the first place πŸ€ͺ still onwards we go....
...we have had a mad moment though.

Most of you know that we always aim to shop as well as we can, shopping in sales to give you the best prices. That does mean we are still in Christmas mode in the early months of the year, but as we are blessed with a small loft, storage isnt an issue, not to mention that the things we sell are not dated πŸ™Œ

However, a few of our Christmas burners are facing their second Christmas on sale so our mad moment is to offer these at a reduced price as an early Christmas sale. They are very limited, what's in the pictures is all we have available. These are all in boxes and brand new so once they are gone, they are gone! No holding without payment...please message or comment below if you are interested - its first come first served. We will be posting on other sale sites so if you're interested move fast!

As we sort through the remainder of stock we may have more one off sales to come, so like and follow us to keep up to date and grab an early Christmas πŸŽ„bargain.

Come and see us at The Mystical Cat at Harts Barn Craft Centre. We are nexr door to the Old Dairy Tearoom and open every day except Monday 10 am to 4pm ish. NB On rare occasions these hours change and we always do our best to advise customers on FB of any changes in advance 😁.

Good morning this wet 🌧 Wednesday morning.

Today hopefully we'll get some more Christmas stock out, a few bits have been squeezed in but a little bit of moving around is required to get all of it out. Feel free to ask if we have something specific if you are after something though, we have 7 boxes ready to get out on sale!!

As promised we're sharing yesterdays little delivery or 2 which took time to get through - it genuinely is the little things that take the most amoumt of time to sort. Each pair of earrings for ezample come in dinky plactic bags so have to be check, opened and then put onto a earring hanger, priced, pictured and put on sale....its fiddly work but we think displaying items in the right way is important. And yes we do sometimes get things wrong...but we try!!

We are open and half way through our Old Dairy Tearoom coffee as we write this, Eden plants is also open as is Broadlands Pottery and The Forest Larder in addition to the book appointment businesses such as Anna Cole Beauty, Bridie Thorne Hairdressing and Holistic Health Massage & Massage Trainer to name but a few.

Please bear in mind we are all independent, other businesses set their own opening hours and will be open later on this morning. If you are after something specific, you should contact the relevent business.

The Mystical Cat looks forward to seeing some of you here at Harts Barn Craft Centre soon. We are open on this gloomy day until 4pm ish.

Good morning, its another Tuesday amd start of our working week here at The Mystical Cat.

Today is Armistice Day here in the UK and marks the end of fighting in World War I at 11 a.m. in 1918 and is observed with a two-minute silence at 11 a.m. to remember those who have died in conflicts. At 11am dome peopl choose to stop what they're doing whether working, shopping or something else to stand in peace for 2 minutes.

On this day, events often focus on the signing of the armistice, but they are now part of a broader commemoration of all those who have served in wartime. When November 11th falls on a Sunday, as it has done this year, the main commemoration took place last Sunday, which is known as Remembrance Sunday.

Whilst we respect that not everyone wants to stand oe sit in silence for 2 minutes, please respect those that choose to do so....it is only 2 minutes πŸ™

In other news a parcel has arrived and we will get that unpacked, photographed, priced and onsale before we get back to getting ChristmasπŸŽ„stock out. We'll share some pics tomorrow πŸ™Œ

Have a great day today in all you choose to do. We are open normal hours this week so every day 10am to 4pm ish here at Harts Barn Craft Centre. A number of the other independent businesses are also open including our coffee supplier and next door neighbour the Old Dairy Tearoom, Eden plants, The The Forest Larder and Broadlands Pottery (we have our own opening hours so others may be open soon) so pop down and support small independent businesses onsite.

Today Sunday 9th November is Remembrance Day. A day here in the United Kingdom to honour military and civilian servicemen and women, who have died in wars and conflicts around the world.

Today at The The Mystical Cat we choose to close and take time to appreciate and thank those who we have lost as well as those that remain in our lives today. It is a day of reflection and family.

The date also falls during the peak of November's supermoon and coincides with a Mercury retrograde, which may affect communication.

We will re-open on Tuesday 11th November, Armistice Day.

Good morning, its another Saturday and the sky is blue, so pretty sure will be a great day!

As its the second Saturday of the month, we'll be open slightly later than normal as we'll be collecting the best pork and lamb from the best local farmer Plump Hill Farm who are this morning at The Forest Bakehouse. Obviously this means a coffee and catch up hence the late opening πŸ€ͺ. If you love good pork and lamb, as well as good bread you should pop down and get some for yourself....its definitely worth it!!

Don't forget that we'll be closed tomorrow for Remembrance Day ....but if you're really desperate we're having Sunday lunch at our Harts Barn Craft Centre neighbour, the Old Dairy Tearoom πŸ˜‹ . In our opinio the best Sunday lunch around and needs pre-booking as they fill up really quickly!!

We hope to see lots of you when we get in later this morning πŸ™Œ

Good morning and a very happy Friday to everyone πŸ™Œ Another regular week gone as we head into another weekend.

So things to remind you of....

Today, Friday...we will be closing at 3pm to go to an appointment

AND

On Sunday we will be closed for Remembrance Day.

We are starting to get the Christmas bits on sale now.

The Christmas floormats are out on sale as well as the Christmas washable floor mat. We've also put some packs of Christmas cards out with a price range of Β£1 to Β£2.50 per pack and as always limited stock. The glass Christmas Tree that came in (see pic) I had a few in and now only have 1 left and they've not even been out on display yet! ....and to cap it all the supplier has sold out!

A final mention is for the Christmas advent calender that we've made up instore. Each day of December is a wrapped tumblestone from the selection that we sell instore. We've included the descriptor card for each as well. As everyone who visits here knows our tumblestones are typically what they call 'medium' in size so average between 1.5cm and 2.5cm each stone and tend to be priced Β£1.50 or Β£2 each....so the calendar isnt the same as what you might find online - yes its more expensive, you obviously get a refillable calendar for next year but, and obviously this is our opinion based on what we've seen online....ours is bigger and better!! But you make the decision....we only have 1 left and are not planning on making any more this year so once its gone its gone!! We will take payment or deposit in advance to secure it but no saving without. Message us if you're interested.

We are open now until 3pm today, please pop by and see us at The Mystical Cat here at Harts Barn Craft Centre .

Good morning Mystical Cat followers....it's another warm (ish) November day!

We're still selling off some of the leftover Halloween πŸŽƒ stock so Christmas πŸŽ„is slowly making an appearance in the shop.

We have literally just had a delivery in, so we've decided to share what we have today, before its even priced as we don't think some of these lines will be around for very long. Everything we have is in the pictures so only a small amount of each as they were all new! If you like, you need to message us to reserve (time limits to collect will apply or you cam pay in advance to secure the product).

We have also just had new stocks of our best selling Angel Mobile and we are pleased to confirm that we are still able to retain the price at the same as it was 3 years ago!! Some suppliers have put the price of this very same item up by 25% so we're pleased our trusted supplier can get us the same product and help us retain the price 😁

Just a quick reminder that we'll be closing at 3pm tomorrow Friday. However we are open now until around 4pm this evening at Harts Barn Craft Centre. We are located next door to the Old Dairy Tearoom where we've collected our daily coffee πŸ˜‹.

We look forward to welcoming you at Harts Barn Craft Centre soon.

Have a great 6th November πŸ™
