Cloudberry Castle Launch Party

Yesterday we celebrated the launch of our newest Kelpie – Cloudberry Castle by Janey Louise Jones (the Princess Poppy author) with a MASSIVE party at Dance Base in Edinburgh.

Designing tutus and ballet shoes!

Thanks to all the girls (and mums and dads) that came along to celebrate with us. We had a fantastic time decorating cupcakes, drinking pink lemonade, designing tutus, seeing REAL-LIFE ballerinas and listening to Janey read from the book.

Decorating cupcakes… yum!

If you came along to the event or have read the book then let us know. We’d love to hear what you think!

A big thanks has to go out to ballet teacher Angela Watson and her pupils Katie Mackenzie, Zoe, Juliette, Isla, Rachel, Katie, Mary and Ishbel who performed on the day. Also Esme Scott, a former pupil of Angela Watson who is now studying at Dance School of Scotland, who performed a FANTASTIC piece from Swan Lake (and looked brilliant in her costume!).
