Fresh Beginnings

Life often throws curveballs our way which require the courage and motivation to start afresh.

This is always a challenge and can be daunting and scary. It can also be exciting and fun and often opens up new opportunities and experiences - if you have the courage to take that first step!

We have put together a selection of carvings that symbolise courage, determination, strength and good luck - qualities that will help you push through the challenge and succeed.
