Welcome November 2026

Hello, lovely members! Spring is in full bloom, and the year is racing towards its final stretch. November is a great time to catch up with friends, try something new and enjoy everything our groups have to offer.

 

Colour of the month

Soft, warm and timeless, dusty pink is the perfect shade for the season. This month I have chosen a nature inspired colour palette found on Pinterest. These colours will be used on our social media posts this month. 

Which one is your favourite?

Gemstone of the Month: Topaz

With its glowing shades of golden amber, honey and rosy peach, topaz is a real beauty. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed it increased physical strength, brought courage and offered protection from danger or injury. In Indian mythology, topaz was thought to bring intelligence, beauty and longevity. Not a bad set of qualities to wish for the month ahead!
