| The last six weeks have simply flown by and there's been barely a blog in sight! Mostly, July has been about focusing on a busy period for Nik's company, Feature Greens and we've both been enjoying the creative adventures that has brought with it. It's been busy enough for me to have been lending a hand too with various jobs that have taken us from London, to Chippenham, to Cheshire, to Liverpool and even when we've not been directly working on sets, Nik's been super busy with lots of back stage organisation (and a few very necessary strategic breathers!) Of course other areas of life have carried on too; (a background of family illness not withstanding) but we've still been nibbling away at bits of the Earth Heart project and many has been the internal sigh about a missed blog opportunity! The lettuce soup and logan berry flapjacks have missed their 15 minutes of fame, as did Nik's first ever crop of calabrese! However, I guess an article on research for planning permission applications or completing a hazard analysis for a small baking business might only have been worth publishing for the insomniac amongst us! |  |
 Back in June, in anticipation of a busy July, we gave our kitchen a serious deep clean and redecorate as well as a good bit of reorganisation to help make a safe and viable small business of my baking tendencies! There was then the task of researching and sourcing sustainable but affordable packaging solutions that would both protect and display cakes and biscuits without resorting to single use plastics. Nik got busy creating an extension to the back of the existing box for the temperate storage of baked goods and produce as we realised we'd unwittingly pitched up in a bit of a suntrap! There has also been a reasonable amount of test baking. Well. Someone's got to... | Still, that work has been ticking over and some of it is finally coming to fruition! It was all that time ago at the end of April that we first launched the Earth Heart Honesty Box with its fine selection of upcycled crafts and organic produce. Disappointed shoppers will have noticed an hiatus for the box over recent weeks, for all the aforementioned reasons but the time has come to re-launch with all the crafts and produce you've come to expect and an exciting new offering! This is the inauguration of the Earth Heart Kitchen and a modest but high quality selection of vegan home baking! |
And now the date is finally upon us! Next Friday, 2nd of August, from two pm to six pm, we'll be having a little celebratory launch with delicious vegan home baked treats for sale as well as plenty of free samples! There'll be a fine and reasonably priced selection of upcycled crafts too (there may even be two new postcard and greetings card designs if stars and delivery dates align) so it'll be well worth the trip if you're at all local! We'll also be rolling out our new gazebo because, well, UK summer...
Do drop by for a nibble and a natter! We'd both be very excited to share this new chapter in the Earth Heart adventure with you!
