"Sometimes all you hear about is the hate, but there is more love in this world than you could possibly imagine"
Charles Mackesy
I may not have given away very much of what's been going on at Baxley lately, but let me tell you — things have been busy. There is so much I can't wait to share.

Here are 4 notable items:

1. £2,310 was donated to Ukrainian refugees. 🙌

I'm filled with nothing but awe and gratitude. Thanks to your unbelievable generosity and a matched donation, we were able to donate this incredible amount through purchases of the Action Conquers Fear poster. Just a few posters remain, so you can still be part of this beautiful act. 100% of your purchase will be donated. Buy now >
 

2. Hank and Reggie are ON SALE TODAY. 😮🏃‍♂️

There will be a 24 hour sale, starting at NOON GMT today (Sunday) of the awesome hold-all Hank and the go-to Reggie pouch. Most colours are in-stock, and will be sent out immediately.

As for so many businesses, the cost of materials is increasing, and so the price of these two items needs to increase in turn. How I wish it weren't the case.

At any rate, if you've been thinking of either bag for yourself, this would be the perfect time to act.

(Ahem, polite reminder of 
Mother's Day next week.)
 

3. A new bag, Keith, is launching VERY soon. 🎉

It won't hold everything. But it will be filled with total joy. 

Photo samples are being made this coming week, then photos taken, and added to the website. I'm planning on next week being crazy busy, with launch planned really soon after! Eep! Exact date to be announced. Plenty of info and images coming before then.
 

4. The Rolltop, Batch 3, will be launching about six weeks later. 🤪

Oh goodness, I can't wait to get this baby back out in the world. The new supplier of the hardware is nearly settled on, which is literally the only blocker remaining in the way, and what will determine the launch date.

Wahoo!

(And why it's worth trying)
Hello, friend

Well, as alluded above, things are about to get busy. 

2020 was a year of pause and uncertainty.

2021 felt like an insane hamster wheel of reactionary catch-up.

2022 I'm taking slowly, purposefully, laying out the terrain before I act and focusing on the activities that will give the greatest joy to others and myself.

Is every last detail going to be mapped out? Will it all be fun?

Ha! Hardly. At the best of times, it feels I need to leave a solid 40% of my time for the unexpected, and a good chunk more for the things I simply have to do.

But I'll have started with a solid foundation. And man, am I looking forward to the rest.

There are so many dark clouds around. But still, the daffodils are blooming.

Thanks for reading, as always.
