Today, a large wood pigeon flew into my patio window. I heard the bang from upstairs as I thought it was the postman knocking on the door. I went down to investigate, and found the poor bird sitting in a pile on the patio. My immediate reaction was to allow the bird time to gain its composure, and then it would undoubtably fly off none the wiser, apart from with a very bad headache. However, hours later and it was still sitting there with its features puffed up and its eyes closed. What was I to do?
We now have 10% off all products in our moth range, just in time for Christmas! Don't forget, we donate 10% of all sale prices of moth products to Butterfly Conservation.
This month Creature Candy turns 1 year old. I can hardly believe how fast this time has gone, but one thing I know for sure is that launching Creature Candy was the best decision I have ever made. I have enjoyed every second and it has been wonderful passing over our donations to the Bat Conservation Trust, Bumblebee Conservation Trust and Butterfly Conservation.
This week we have been able to donate £207.49 to the Bat Conservation Trust, bringing our total for the year to £357.26 for this charity. This money will contribute towards the National Bat Helpline - a national service answering questions from householders, professionals and other people interested in, or concerned about bats.
Make sure you order on or before 19th December to ensure your parcels, full of Creature Candy goodies, are delivered to you in time for Christmas. Happy shopping!
