Perranuthnoe's buzzing today - this is the place to be!!
What a lovely afternoon after the dull rainy start to the day, the Craft Centre has been buzzing and the shop has been busy. Kevin and I have been flat out all afternoon selling lots of our Cornish Farm Dairy Ice Cream, with flavours such as Almond & Amerena Cherry and Mint Choc Chip from Moomaid and everyone's favourite Clotted Cream Vanilla and Honeycomb from Callestick Farm plus lots of other equally gorgeous flavours, they're all so yummy!
Our wool shop's been busy too and I've been sorting out all the new stock which has arrived during the last week, in between serving! so it's been hectic but really lovely to see all the visitors to Perranuthnoe. It's also been good seeing everyone enjoying the lovely weather this afternoon, lots just sitting outside around the tables enjoying their ice cream cornets.
It is if forecast to continue with the good weather for the next few days, fingers crossed, so often they get it wrong but we can but hope. Anyway come down to Perranuthnoe, come and have an ice cream, visit the shop and perhaps stay for lunch or afternoon tea at the Peppercorn cafe. You can bring the family and the dog and have a lovely walk along the cliffs to Marazion or in the other direction to Prussia Cove and Praa Sands. It's all here - just come and find us!
apologies: just don't have a 'buzzing' picture to show you, there just wasn't time to nip outside and take one (or even inside!)

New! Hand dyed 100% Merino 4ply - Gorgeous!!
Just fresh from the 'Old Piggery' Dyeing workshop in Perranuthnoe six skeins of this fabulously vibrant violet and apricot yarn. A 100% Merino 4 ply knitting wool and absolutely perfect for a lovely fine jacket or cardigan or a simply exotic shawl. Another idea would be some socks or wrist warmers in preparation for Christmas gifts later this year. You have to see it to believe, a hand dyed knitting wool to 'dye' for!

Joan visits from Minnesota
Here we all are at our regular Wednesday knitting group last week when Joan Wells from Minnesota USA joined whilst she was visiting the area. It was a lovely afternoon with lots of knitting chat, tea and homemade cake.
New into the shop this week are a lovely selection of spring and summer scarves, polka dots, delicate voile with flowers and in a choice of shades and colours. We also have a basket of new summer bangles just right for jazzing up a spring outfit.
Customers coming into the shop this week will see we have had a change around and there's more to come so watch this space. We have decided expand our range of ice creams and will shortly be stocking Callestick Farm tubs in a selection of flavours and in a few weeks time we will also be offering scoop ice cream too!
