We are now taking orders for willow christmas light up angels
how is the COVID 19 affecting our business
This current situation regarding the corona virus is bizzare and frightening.there are worrys about our health and all of our financial situation.We have had all our shows cancelled where we rely on seling baskets and handing out leaflets for our coffins,and taking a coffin on tour to show the visitors to the shows what we do.
Also we had to cancel all our workshops much to the dissapointment of all our students.So our income for the basket sales and workshops has been non existant,we have had a few coffin orders come in which has kept the wolf from the door,and managed to do a few jobs where we have bartered or done skillswaps which we love doing that kind of trade,
One good thing about the current situation and i can speak for most of us is that we have had extra time to focus on getting things done around the home regarding improvements,and we have started up a small market garden and am going to grow flowers for funerals to add to our coffins,
in the meantime we here at cradle to grave are learning new designs of weaving our baskets,and have time to play and experiment with willow,make stock for when ever the shows will return ,and keeping healthy and happy
