Well, summer is about to leave us with at least a few memories of sunny days and a rather more cheerful September. Here at The Parrot Cage I am thinking of chillier days and some fabulous finds to help cheer us up as the days get shorter. Chief amongst these – my fabulous cotton dresses are still in vogue and will carry me through the chillier days teamed with coloured tights and boots – and I have some delicious rich colours newly ordered too so that is a great option. Embroidered waistcoats in jewel colours are on their way, soft, soft wool and silk scarves, shawls in all of the colours of a jewel box- and soft warm kaftans made of bamboo ‘wool’, yes really….. lots to see so do come and say hello – and I have my SALE on Saturday 30th September so the shop will be open and I will have a stall in the lower Shambles too, grab a bargain.
Dates: The shop is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 9.30 – 3 – I have physio for a few weeks so will close at 1pm on Wed til the end of October.

Working on the opposite of a rain dance for tomorrow, 12 August and Sunday 13 August at the Bowood Game and Country Fair. I always enjoy this event and look forward to seeing some regular customers and meeting some new ones too.

Lots more to come but that is it for August and early September.
Having the best time ordering some new and gorgeous items for autumn and winter – and I have to report, with apologies, that Christmas shopping has already begun!

I recently had a few embroidered jackets in the shop to see if people liked them – they really did! I now have some simply stunning ones hanging up, ideal for a special occasion, or just because……!
Do pop in and take a look, they are the ultimate statement piece. Will post pics tomorrow!

Summer should be here and hopefully will arrive in a blaze of glory! If the evenings are still chilly I have some beautiful pashminas to keep the chill off your shoulders and add a touch of glamour and colour to your summer wardrobe. I also have a few simply wonderful artisan pieces which are 100% cashmere and totally hand embroidered – they are very special.
