31/03/2026

Good morning and a happy Tuesday 😊 from us here at The Mystical Cat . It's the last day of March 🤯 and our first day of the working week 🙌 .

We're open every day, Tuesday to Sunday inclusive 10am ish to 4pm ish. A couple of possible exceptions this week where we'll be here and working in our Leap Holistic Therapies mode so the shop will be open a smidge late both on Wednesday and Friday.

Another important thing of note which we mentioned last week is that with immediate effect here at Harts Barn Craft Centre all of our terrace areas are now officially smoke and v**e free. Signs are up as a reminder and we'd ask anyone who does partake to move away from the buildings to do so.

Finally, we'd like to share with you a picture of one of our cats, Luna, who now has her own portrait which will be on display at some point soon in the shop. The very talented Jackie Cox of www.sindencox-art.co.uk in addition to making stain glass gifts and beautiful earrings also paints and frames pictures in addition to teaching art.

Whilst it would lovely to think that Luna sat for her own portrait, getting any pet to do so would be nigh on impossible so the painting is from a photo that we provided.

If anyone would love a portrait of their own beloved pet, Jackie can do individual commissions, just let us know.

As it so happens onsite here at Harts Barn we also have Jo Scott Art who paints Doggy Portraits. You can find out more on her website : https://www.joscottart.com/pages/contact .

On that note we wish you a fabulous day and look forward to seeing some of you very soon.

Namaste 🙏

Good morning 👋 it's Sunday 29th March and our last day of our week here at The The Mystical Cat ; we'll be closed tomorrow before starting it all over again on Tuesday.

A bit of an overcast start to the day which is pretty much how we're feeling given we all lost an hour's sleep last night 🤐 we say we lost sleep, but our cats had already begun demanding breakfast at 4am from last week so not unexpected that from 3am this morning we had a number of cats rotating between leaping on us, crying and tapping us until we finally engaged with them and fed them. Definitely needed this Old Dairy Tearoom large coffee this morning 🥱.

We were here pretty late last night as well 🤔doing some bits and bobs in the shop and then enjoying a drink alongside freshly made pizza 🍕 courtesy of Chef Joe and team at Harts Barn Cookery School 😋

So the Easter Holidays 🐣 have now started (another reason why the weather has turned meh 😐). The new bits we've had in are selling well 🥳 and we have even more in the next week or so just to tempt you.

As regulars to The Mystical Cat know, we like to ensure that we get the best deals that we can for our shoppers and that remains our ethos. Only yesterday it was suggested that some of our prices need to go up BUT they sell at that price and well, AND we always ensure that we purchase at the lowest we can for example during supplier sales, so that we can maintain the prices we have. Yes, things do and have gone up, but these are as limited as we can....we obviously need to make some money but not being greedy in what we get, we are very aware of the current economic climate but more importantly making people feel great is critical to us.

On that note we look forward to seeing more of you here at Harts Barn Craft Centre over these next couple of weeks of the Easter Holidays.

Namaste 🙏

Good morning 🌞 it's Saturday 28th March and the first official day of the School Easter Holidays (for most!). It looks like its going to be a lovely day albeit a nip in the air mostly courtesy of the chilly wind. We're sat outside enjoying the fresh air and our regular coffee from our neighbours at the Old Dairy Tearoom .

The Mystical Cat is open until around 4pm ish today although as we are partaking in Harts Barn Cookery School 's freshly made pizza 🍕 and bar 🍺 afterwards 😋 and given our pizza collection time is 7pm, we'll likely be open a bit later to do a few bits of maintenance stuff before hitting the bar.....albeit soft drinks mostly for the person driving 🚗

It was lovely to see so many people pop in yesterday. We had to rearrange part of the shop which resulted in a lot more manoeuvring around which we hasten to add is temporary as we have sone very new ❄️ coming in next week....no we've not gone made and it's not anything to do with the 🎄word....you'll just have to watch this space.....or you take a guess!!!!

Don't forget the clocks go forward overnight or more precisely at 1am on Sunday morning it miraculously becomes 2am with a blink of the eye. Not sure about you, but our cats seem to already know as they've already decided that 4am is now the time to demand breakfast 🤐🧐

On that note, we'd like to wish you a very good day and hope to see some of you at our little shop 😊, as well as visiting the other small independant businesses at Harts Barn Craft Centre. Please remember though that every business has their own opening hours so if you want to visit somewhere specific please visit their own FB page.

Namaste 🙏

Happy Friday 🥳 it's the last day of the school term for most as the Easter break starts 🐣. Genuinely it feels like yesterday that the kids were just off 🙃 although we think the weather getting colder 🥶 and wetter 🌧 is indicative of the start of school holidays 🤐😂

Here at The Mystical Cat we are open and raring (ish) to go for another day. We're open until around 4pm today.

Just a quick word on opening hours, we are open 6 days a week Tuesday to Sunday inclusive. We won't be open on Bank Holiday Mondays however we are open both Good Friday and Easter Sunday 🙌 if something comes up and we need to change any of our hours for whatever reason we will notify you as soon as we can on this page.

Yesterday we had a mini delivery in of some bits that customers had requested so much of this you may not actually see any of if you pop in.....that said, as we have mentioned before, if you spot something pictures on a post that you might like, or you are after something that fits in with our shop and we don't have it, please ask. We have access to some fabulous suppliers and more often than not will be able to get what you are looking for. For those that have visited our shop, you'll know that we just cannot fit everything in, even though we do try 🧐.

On a final note just wanted to make you aware of a change coming to Harts Barn Craft Centre. In discussion with the other tenants and the Site Manager, we will be making all of the terraces and areas outside of all of the units both Smoke and V**e Free. Signs will be going up shortly. We would respectfully ask anyone who wants to smoke or v**es that they move as far away from the buildings and terraces to do so.

On that note we'll wish you a very good day whatever you are doing

Namaste 🙏

Good morning from us here at The Mystical Cat .It's Thursday 26th March and a lovely day outside albeit a little nippy 🥶!!

Harts Barn Craft Centre has an abundance of tenant's with birthdays over the next couple of weeks (we have a lot of entrepreneurial Aries onsite!) and today is no exception with the boss lady of Harts Barn Cookery School, Yvette celebrating her special day🥂.

We had a challenging day yesterday 🤦‍♀️managing to spill some of first Old Dairy Tearoom coffee ☕️(sacrilege!), then the second cup (I don't nornally have 2) went all over the desk drowning everything paper-based.....😥.

Fortunately the laptop was spared but for some reason the blue tooth mouse which didn’t get wet decided it wouldn't let me "right click" on anything, new batteries, uninstalling and reinstalling, switching the laptop on and off saw no change.....I'm hoping the overnight rest it's had has sorted it out otherwise we're in for a challenging day ahead 🤐........again!!

No deliveries yesterday but we do have delivery this afternoon which we'll share tomorrow 😀. We have reduced some stock, that has wrong but just want to move it through now which includes some "mum" gifts (they don't say happy mothers day and could easily be for a mum's birthday).

We are also in the process of reducing some of our wooden hanging signage which was hanging on the stand in the shop. These are end of range TBH and whilst a few are display marked (which we'll reduce a bit more") the rest we'll knock down to clear....we still need to find a replacement to funny (haha not weird) little hanging signs so watch this space for more on this.

In the meantime we managed to get another picture of one of our robins as well as a picture of a very happy looking 🤔 Louise of Holistic Health Massage & Massage Trainer who is off today and doing some decorating in her unit 😃.

Whatever you are doing today, we hope you have a great day and look forward to seeing some of you very soon.

BTW the final thought is that most schools break up tomorrow for their Easter 🐣 break 🧐.....happy Thursday.

Namaste 🙏

Good morning 🌞 it's Wednesday 25th March and as we type this the sky is blue which is not what the Met Office said but we'll take it.

The Mystical Cat is open as is our coffee ☕️ dealer/supplier the Old Dairy Tearoom. We'd like to start by wishing Zoe from the Old Dairy Tearoom a very happy birthday today 🎂 🥳.

Yesterday we had a number of deliveries in and we are delighted to share pictures of these for you today.

As you will see there are a lot more outside robins both as metal stakes/feeder of varying sizes to resin robins that are very life like.....our own real robins aren't objecting to their new companions which is good 😌.

We also had some crystals in 🫣 honestly we "needed" them along with a few signs that just made us laugh or feel warm and fuzzy 😃

The Mystical Cat is open until around 4pm today here at Harts Barn Craft Centre, other shops have their own hours so are either open now such as The Forest Larder, Broadlands Pottery and Creative Needles or will be opening soon. Check out their own FB pages for opening hours if you want to visit a specific shop. We also have some businesses onsite where you have to book which include Leap Holistic Therapies, Holistic Health Massage & Massage Trainer, Release Holistics, Bridie Thorne Hairdressing, Harts Barn Cookery School, Anna Cole Beauty and Riverwood - Artisan Bridalwear. There is definitely a lot going on here at Harts Barn Craft Centre.

Hopefully the weather holds 🤞until the end of our day. We look forward to seeing some of you very soon but if not have a fabulous day whatever you are up to.

Namaste 🙏

Good morning Mystical Cat followers 🙌 it's Tuesday 24th March and the start of another new week in our little shop here at Harts Barn Craft Centre 😀

It's looking a wee bit gloomy today with some of the wet stuff 🌧 forecast on and off throughout the day 🥹 as well as over the next couple of days 😥 we don't intend to let the weather dampen our spirits though 😀.

As those of you with younglings in your lives know, for most it's the last week before the Easter 🐣 holidays begin....genuinely it feels like yesterday that they were last on holiday 🤐

This week we will be getting a fair few orders in with one already in today and another one due shortly so will share tomorrow the new exciting bits and pieces 🤗 a lot are by request as well 🙌

However,over the weekend the amazing Jackie Cox of www.sindencox-art.co.uk dropped in a new red dragon. This one is slightly bigger than the last one she made and has a "glimmer" effect to the glass. It truly is a beautiful piece of work as hopefully you can see from the pictures 📸. She also dropped in some more of her handmade earrings which seldom last for long.

On that note we wish you an amazing day whatever you are doing and hopefully see some of you very soon.

Namaste 🙏

Woohoo!! Thanks for all followers to help us get over 150 reactions on our posts last week!

Thanks everyone for your support! 🎉

Good morning, it's Sunday so the end of our week here The Mystical Cat 🙌 It's another lovely day and we're sat outside enjoying the warmer weather, listening to the birds singing and watching them queue for the food that we pop out every day, just for a few minutes whilst drinking our coffee courtesy of our neighbours, the Old Dairy Tearoom. We've even opened our plastic door cover both sides today, although as we're on the dark side of the terrace, our shop is always chillier than the others 🫣 and yes, we are still wearing some thermals 😂.

Whilst not as many shops are typically open onsite on a Sunday, there's is still a fair amount going on. As we were coming in Harts Barn Cookery School has a class this morning so their food and drink shop, The Forest Larder will be open at 11am and a couple of others will be open around that time as well.

It'll be lovely to see some of you today here at Harts Barn Craft Centre but if not, whatever you are doing on this Sunday, we hope you have an amazing day 🙌

Namaste

🙏

Good morning - it's going to be another gorgeous day 🌞 here at The Mystical Cat on this Saturday 21st March.

We are in, open and have our favourite coffee ☕️ from our neighbours the Old Dairy Tearoom 😋 One of our resident Robin's 🐦 even posed for the camera today as well 🤗

Yesterday at 2.46pm we marked the Spring Equinox and the official start of Spring 🙌.

The equinox is a powerful and significant moment in many cultures and spiritual traditions worldwide. It represents a time of balance, renewal, and new beginnings, both in the physical and spiritual realms.

March 21 is also a significant date marked by several international observances, most notably....

International Day of Forests:

Given that our shop is in the fabulous Forest of Dean 🌳it would be remiss of us not to mention this day. The day itself is set aside to raise awareness about the importance of all types of woodlands, their role in carbon sequestration, and their contribution to ecological balance.

And today is also ...

World Down Syndrome Day:

Annually on this date to promote inclusion, advocacy, and rights for people with Down Syndrome, often highlighting themes like "Together Against Loneliness".

With that we will sign off our post for today. Please support all the local small businesses wherever you are, and of course it would be lovely to see you in our little shop at Harts Barn Craft Centre where there are many more local businesses here onsite.

But whatever you are doing have a great day 🙌

Namaste

Well that's a bit bizarre 😳 we sat and typed a message around 10am this morning and it seems to have vanished into thin air!!

No idea what we actually said, probably something about lovely-ish weather here at The Mystical Cat with the sun missing in action so far and kids Easter Holidays rapidly approaching 😶‍🌫️

We'd have also shared that we have had new stock in of our mini brass animals and mythical creatures in....a couple of which we really are NOT sure about but we'll see what you all think!!

We hope that you are all great and looking forward to seeing some of you onsite here at Harts Barn Craft Centre very soon.

Namaste 🙏

Good morning, it's Thursday 19th March and another glorious spring day here at Harts Barn Craft Centre 🙌

We were in bright and early this morning meditating and preparing for an energy healing before we opened The Mystical Cat up for the day. Now we are sat outside enjoying the warmer weather and having a cheeky Old Dairy Tearoom light breakfast 😋 whilst posting this on our page.

Today March 19, 2026, there are a number primary religious observances including the Catholic Feast of Saint Joseph as well as the anticipated beginning of the Islamic festival Eid al-Fitr.

St. Joseph’s Day honors the husband of Mary, while Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, bringing worldwide celebrations of fasting, prayer, and charity.

Also today in the early hours of this morning (2.23am) this month's new moon rose starting a new lunar cycle.

The March New Moon invites us into a moment of spiritual renewal and surrender. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is release the need to control every step and trust the path that's unfolding. When we surrender what no longer serves us, we create space for healing, clarity, and new beginnings.

The Mystical Cat is open until around 4pm today here at Harts Barn Craft Centre. Us and all the other small businesses onsite would love to see you 🤗

Whatever you are doing today, we hope its a fabulous one.

Namaste 🙏
