Forbes locals may have been wondering where The Party Shop has gone after a distinct lack of party shopping in the town… Well, wonder no more! Lin is back in brand new premises at Shop 6, Forbes Arcade, 113 Rankin Street in Forbes.

But rather than continue with the Party Shop Lin now wants to concentrate on her love of sewing, and has decided that the time is right for her to sell all her party wear, costumes and accessories. “I’m offering a massive 30% off all stock so come in and get it before it’s gone!” said Lin. Her new business will now be called Linny A’s Sewing and Alterations.

Lin will be available for all your sewing needs and those hard to do alterations in time for you to wear your gorgeous new outfit. If you need something done in a hurry then Lin is the lady to see. Lin is at the shop from 9.30am to 3pm each day from Monday to Friday. Pop in and make the most of the great reductions on party products and get that unravelling jumper and holey sock darned while you’re there!

Soon To Be The End Of A Curvy Era
Curves has been owned and run by Barbara Thomas for over a decade and after ten wonderful years Barb is looking to put her feet up and enjoy retirement with her husband. Barb’s goal is to sell the business to a motivated owner who will love it as she does and look after all the amazing ladies who are committed to taking care of their health in a friendly environment. “I want to congratulate each and every lady who comes here for having taken the step to better health. Curves focusses on 30 minutes of moderate exercise circuits which can help a range of conditions including diabetes, menopausal symptoms, arthritis, heart disease and hypertension. Be sure to pop in and see Barb and the staff at Curves and take a step towards a better ‘you’ today!

Guidance From a ‘Fluffing’ Guru
Welcome to my new column…
I am so excited to have a regular feature each month in this amazing publication! I hope to show you just how easy it can be to turn your decorating dreams into reality. Trust me, it is never as hard as you think it is just simply knowing the tips and tricks to make the process easier. Every single person deserves a home that they love to want to return to each night. And when you have this sanctuary from the outside world it can have such a positive flow on effect in every other area of your life as well.

My very first pearl of wisdom to share with you through this column is very simple and to the point. Getting help can be very liberating and make your journey on the decorating path a breeze because someone is there to hold your hand each and every step along the way. And that is my absolute privilege to
hopefully be the one to help and guide you through that process.

I look forward to sharing tips and advice with you in these columns.

By Karen Creith

Karen is the owner of Parkes Furniture One and the author of the book ‘The Art of Fluffing’. Karen began her decorating journey a few years ago and quickly became an impressive voice in the journalistic world of decorating, attaining the role of interior stylist for National Magazine before becoming editor in chief of her very own magazine, Style Your Home with Karen Creith.
