Our first ever book signing with Colm
Keane on Friday 16th October was very successful. Colm came
in just before 1 o'clock and there were already a couple of
people waiting. The shop was full of people for the next hour
with people chatting to Colm and each other and also picking
up copies of Colm's book, Going Home - Irish stories from
the edge of death. Several people couldn't make the time but
asked us to get copies signed and put away for them. It was
a good experience and one that we hope to repeat often, not
least with Francesca Brown in November 13th and Aidan Storey
on December 2nd.
Looking ahead, both Janet and Stephen
hope to be in the Boghill Centre in Co. Clare next November
7th for an evening of music and meditation with Lucinda Drayton.
Lucinda is the lead singer with Bliss who have released several
popular CDs. The music is wonderful and it is on constant
repeat in the shop at present. With the music in such a beautiful
setting as the Burren we are hopeful of a very enjoyable night.
We are also trying to organise a bus for the evening so please
contact us if you would like to let somebody else do the driving
for the evening.
We are now in the run up to Christmas
and many customers have been in either browsing with Christmas
presents in mind or putting deposits on items that they will
pick up closer to the big day. We have started to put out
some 2010 calendars and diaries including the ever popular
Mind Body Spirit Diaries which we always sell out of. Our
main Christmas stock will be on display from early next month
so come in and choose early as we tend to sell out of the
popular items very fast.
