Christmas Canape Class


We will be holding a Christmas Canape Class at Treetops on Thursday 10 November
from 7pm - 9pm.


The class will be demonstration style, you will be greeted with a glass of fizz on arrival.


You will be shown how to make fun and delicious treats for friends and family, watch how to create impressive mini mouthfuls and see how you can get maximum taste into a bite size serving.


Learn what can be prepared ahead of time (which is always useful at this time of year), and if you are need to create for any specific dietary requirements, we can help you with this.


To book, please visit the website

Iridescent Watercolours


We were painting with Iridescent Watercolours this week, adding shimmer, sparkle and shine to birds, animals and fish, it was a great class, it's always good to try something new.


Hummingbirds, peacocks, kingfishers and cockerels were our popular birds.









The day felt very autumnal, it was lovely to be inside painting.



These fish are wonderful!






We had a delicious Lamb Hot Pot with vegetables for lunch followed by an Apple, Elderberry Syrup and Blackberry Crumble, all found from the local hedgerows and trees, so good!


Come and join us later in the month for an Acrylics class, we have had alot of requests for more Acrylics.

Our Autumn has started

 


We've been working hard behind the scenes to create some great classes for you this term, we've been enjoying some lovely Aroma Yoga classes with Rachel and have welcomed lots of new faces who are enjoying getting away from it all, relaxing, moving with some gentle yoga and then snuggling under a duvet and eye mask for some savasana.  Which is then followed with delicious nibbles and warming drinks.




The classes book really quickly but we have a waiting list system, upcoming classes in November and December will be on the booking system soon.


In other news we are launching a Treetops Wellbeing range, which has started with a gorgeous candle, made from locally sourced beeswax from a local maker.
 
I wanted to evoke the scent of Treetops, with flowers, the woodland and being relaxed.  And after researching a variety of scents we came up with this one which is Geranium and Warm Woods, with lighter notes of lavender, patchouli and vanilla.

We've had a great response, they make a great gift or addition to your candle collection!  These are available on the website.  Please note that all our goods in our Online Shop are posted free of charge.



We are busy working on creating a Wellbeing Gift Box ready for Christmas, it will include the candle, these beautiful bath salts below, an essential oil rollerball made by Rachel, a small lavender bag and an optional yoga eye pillow.  Look out for the announcement for these, or join our mailing list to hear from us first, as we will only have limited stock of these.  


We have collaborated with a great new local magazine called Made in the Shires that supports local small businesses, the latest magazine has just been printed and will hopefully be found out and about in West Berkshire, they also have a website for you to look at.  Please support local this Christmas, there are some wonderful companies local to Newbury who are all working extremely hard at the moment.
