New in today…

New items have just arrived!

Take a peek at the No Tail pony cuffs in the jewellery section- any pony lover will be in seventh heaven.

For kids we have funky, colourful clothes plasters to cover up those pesky holes and liven up plain bags and tops. I bet they won’t be able to choose between fairies, robots, birds and rock ‘n roll designs.

What about our lovely new colouring book, ‘Bubbles Before Bed’- full of pages to colour and things to do to gently calm lively children before bedtime.

After all the hard work of stocking up it’s time for a little catnap and dreams of sardines for breakfast!

January savings

After my tasty bowl of Felix this morning I have had a good look around the stockroom- no mean feat with my new spare tyre! If there is ever any hope of me returning to the comfort of my basket I need to clear some space. So here goes…

Banish those January blues with 40% off bright and cheery resin jewellery from No Tail- I am adding to the selection week by week so keep looking. There is also a chunky 25% off everything else on the site until the end of January.

There is now an option on site to collect your purchase in store so for anyone living nearby you can save on the postage too. Please remember to say hello to me and maybe bring a sardine or two?

That’s all for the moment but I’ll keep you posted when new stock arrrives…

Welcome to 2011

After all the celebrations of Christmas 2010 and endless turkey and pudding I’ve put on quite a lot of weight and can’t get into the stock room. Time to clear the shelves and make more room for me, which means lots of tasty morsels for you.
Look out for chunky, VAT increase-beating savings coming soon, with up to 40% off in some departments. What better way to brighten up those grey January days – much better than Slimming Club.

First Dickensian Saturday

Last Saturday, was the first of the Grassington Christmas shopping fayres, held on the first three Saturday’s in December, it’s a fun way to do some gift shopping and enjoy a day out. As the name implies, the theme is the era of Dickens, with all the shop owners in splendid regalia and a Victorian style bustling street market, young urchins singing for a coin and street theatre.

With the snow at its deepest, we expected a quieter day than normal however, many brave souls ventured out to the Yorkshire Dales and had a delightful day. Our warren-like shop was as busy as ever with people queuing out of the door for a chance to peruse the fabulous display of goods on offer. Flyers were also distributed telling the good people that a large range of goods are also available on the new online store, so they have the opportunity to shop from the comfort of the fireside in future.

With the (slightly) warmer weather we’re expecting big crowds tomorrow for the second Dickensian Saturday. No doubt I’ll be required to help with “cat”aloging the purr-chases again.

With Christmas fast approaching, our dispatch department is working hard to get all the orders out as quickly as possible so no one has an empty stocking this year. What will you have in yours I wonder?

I’m hoping for more than a gift wrapped sardine, we’ll see…

With best wishes from Clarence
