SORT OUT THOSE SKIN BLEMISHES
WOOSTER INTERIORS EXPANDS Local company Wooster Interiors is set to expand with the opening of a new design showroom in Brigstock in the next couple of months. Susie Wooster established her soft furnishings business eight years ago and today she produces top quality blinds, curtains and soft furnishings for clients all over Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Rutland and Bedfordshire. Business is booming, so Susie and her husband Nick are now converting a 1,000 square foot barn on their farm into a beautiful workroom and showroom. The idea is that customers will be able to browse through an enormous selection of fabric books, including top fabric houses such as Colefax & Fowler, GP &J Baker, Jane Churchill, Ian Mankin, James Hare Silks, Romo, Harlequin, Sanderson and many more. Clients can visit the new Wooster Interiors showroom for an informal, free and friendly chat, where Susie will be on hand to discuss and interpret ideas for window solutions in a style to suit customers’ tastes and budgets. The company offers a full service, from choosing fabrics and designing schemes, to fitting poles. The aim is to come up with bright and innovative ideas for using the latest designs to create interiors which won’t date. Susie is also happy to visit clients at home to discuss schemes. And in addition to fabrics, Wooster Interiors will supply rugs, Brinton carpets, Limehouse lighting, English bespoke sofas, occasional chairs and footstools. An upholstery service is also available. For more details, or to make an appointment, call Susie on 01536 373747 or 07884430321. The Barn, 6 Sudborough Rd, Brigstock, Northants NN14 3HP www.woosterinteriors.co.uk
Thread veins, warts, verrucas and age spots may not be a serious health concern, but most people would rather not have them. Advanced Electrolysis can be used to treat a wide range of skin blemishes, without the hefty fees of private hospital treatment. Jayne Reading at Pure Health and Beauty in Glapthorn is now offering Advanced Electrolysis in relaxed surroundings at her salon. The treatment involves the use of a tiny probe, about the size of an eyelash, which is used to discharge a tiny energy current on the line of the capillary which is causing the problem. It dries up and destroys the vessel which often disappears as it is being treated. Further treatments may be needed but it depends on the nature of the blemish. The problem won’t return on the same spot, but others may occur, depending on the root cause of the blemish. Advanced Electrolysis is suitable for blood spots and milia (tiny white spots on the eyelids and face), and skin tags. You pay for the length of time you are treated, with a minimum of 15 minutes, and Jayne says: “we are very happy to do free, no obligation consultations if people are unsure if we can help.” Pure Health & Beauty, The Old Stables, Church Farm, Main St, Glapthorn, Oundle, Peterborough PE8 5BE Tel: 01832 272310/07807 879459
