HOW'S THE WEEK GOING SO FAR?

Well, Saturday was busy in the shop with plenty people in for balloons, and it was perfectly windy, so lets hope we see some coming back from far off places. I myself let the first "test" balloon go and it flew off up the A140 towards Norwich, on it's own little journey. Balloons were popular with both kids and adults, no one is to grown up to take part. We have some more in the shop through the week with the big final launch on Thursday, so do remember to come along, remember we are open till 10pm.

Yesterday, despite the duck weather, The Wishing Tree took a stand along to the Relish Restaurant and Bar in Newton Flotman, to be part of their suppliers market, which was held in the car park and patio area. What a great community spirit there is in Newton Flotman, it rained cats and dogs but loads of locals came to see what was going on and when the sun came out everyone enjoyed the afternoon, in the true fashion of country life. Well done Rachel and Jeremy and all the staff.

Talking of raining cats and dogs, what is this rumour of an Indian summer happening this week. I hope it is true 'cos we want to be able to see lots of people out and about this week, we have got 10% off all our goodies in the shopfor the birthday period, so come in and get a bargain. Also new stock coming in today and tomorrow, so be first to see it. New range of chunky wooden beaded jewellery sets, lots of great colours.

Catch up with us again through the week with more news of how it's all going.

see ya

100 HELIUM BALLOONS

Seen as we have a thing about turquoise in The Wishing Tree, we thought we would have 100 helium balloons at our party. In turquoise of course, what else. So from Saturday the balloons will begin to appear in the window so keep watching out for that and "pop" in and buy one if you get the chance.

The idea is to buy a balloon and we will tag it, then give you the chance to write a message for the finder of the said balloon, which you can then release where and when you like. The website address www.thewishingtree.biz will be written on the ballon with instructions for the finder to go to the website and contact us with the details. If you balloon comes back to us we will give you a prize. The best prize goes to the balloon that has travelled the furthest, and has the best story to tell. We will be reporting on the balloons travels in this blog so come back and see what is happenning. We are hoping to release the bulk of the balloons on Thursday 11th Sept at the main party event, open till 10pm remember with a candlelit evening outside in the balmy summer air, well it's good to be optimistic about these things i guess, we don't want the weather to put a dampner on our event so keep everything crossed for us please.

So keep watching this spot for anything else we think we should be sharing, and we will see you sometime next week i hope.
