First of all I want to say thank you to all of my lovely customers who I have had the pleasure of meeting during the last year.  It has been a delight to share my beautiful scarves, shawls and kaftans and I am busy designing some great new kaftans for the coming year, working with my Indian friends who have been so helpful to me and who I appreciate so much.

It has also been fun chatting about India, past travels and now, very excited, future travels too as we go to India at the end of February –  so who knows what I will discover to add to the mix!

The Parrot Cage is open Tuesday to Saturday inclusive and I look forward to catching up post Christmas.  I will be out and about during the year and am just finalising some dates and events but the shop will still be open when I am galivanting around Wiltshire.

Cirencester dates:  I will be in The Corn Hall on the following Saturdays:

21 January

11th February

25th March

In the meantime, I wish everyone a happy, healthy and peaceful 2023 – in Southern India parrots are associated with goddesses and are bringers of peace and happiness, I will go with that!

 

Somehow there are not so many days until Christmas and with the frost in the morning it feels like it too!  I have just had some more totally stunning wool scarves, pic below, which are proving really popular – particularly as mine are £45 and a well-known retailer just sent me a catalogue with the same scarves in for £85!!

I also have kaftans for those hopping off to warmer climes and I have some gorgeous ponchos too, so lots of choice.  I am delighted to be going to India in February to catch up with people and visit my favourite places to stay, after 3 years of being unable to go I am super excited!

The Parrot Cage in The Shambles is open on the following days, and I will be in Lacock Sunday 11th December, Cirencester Monday 19th Dec and Tues 20th December and again 23rd December.

It has been, for me, a very exciting 2022 and I have loved meeting everyone and am so enjoying being in The Shambles and out and about at various venues in lovely Wiltshire. I would like to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and a peaceful, prosperous and happy 2023.

 

Well what a busy time I will be having – our lovely event on 26th November, Light of Kashmir, is firmly on the horizon, my dining room is full of gorgeous decorations for the evening, and I will be at St Francis School, St Mary’s Calne and the Lions Christmas event in Chippenham too – I might need a lie down after that lot – or a v. large glass of Prosecco maybe…….!

The Parrot Cage in The Shambles will be open Tuesday-Saturday inclusive, and I have lots of stocking fillers too, from magnetic scarf clips to felt purses so do come and say hello – and if you can’t make it email me and I can send pics and suggestions and pop anything in the post, luckily scarves don’t weigh a lot and aren’t breakable!

Anyway, here are some lovely suggestions for Santa – scarves and shawls, full size blanket throws, so soft and snuggly and my recycled rice sack bags – perfect for carting the laptop in and made from rice sacks so also strong, waterproof and funky!
