Well it has been a busy time in The Parrot Cage with Christmas now firmly on the horizon. I have had lots of exciting parcels from India and have silk, wool, cashmere and also added modal – ideal for vegans and vegetarians as it is made from bamboo and beech pulp and has no silk or wool – and yet feels incredibly soft and gentle.  It has great wicking properties and biodegrades, so I am told, faster than cotton so that is an exciting addition to the ranges I have.

Dates for November:

1-6th inclusive 10am I will be at The Parrot Cage in The Shambles Devizes and on Thursday I will also have my usual stall further down the market hall – so lots of space to display the lovely things I have just received.

Saturday 4th September Green Park, Bath

Thursday 9th September The Shambles Devizes

Saturday 11th September Corsham Street Fair

All very exciting and I will need my spinach to keep up but I have some wonderful new scarves and shawls – I have hand embroidered wool, I have some fab. leather bags on their way too and some great Christmas present potential – sorry to use that word but we all know how it creeps up on us.

So it will be a mad few weeks, I may need a lie down but I will be there, come and say hello!

Well, it is raining on my peonies – how rude –  and they and I would like a bit of sun please!  Failing that a splash of colour in a scarf or pashmina will not only keep away the unseasonable chill, but add a spot of va va voom to whatever we are wearing, apart from thermals!

I have some dates for August now and as ever, if you have seen me somewhere and liked something just email or call me, happy to send photos for you to choose from and then post the item to you.

Lots of treats on their way, as ever choosing what to offer you is guaranteed to make me smile – and hopefully you too!  If you have a dog, cat, horse or tiger (!) lover to buy for there are some stunners on their way – oh I forgot to mention the parrots and owls, you get the idea!
