Where has the year gone – it seems an age since I was in India. However here we are, and with holidays on the horizon I have cotton dresses, jackets and kaftans ready to pop into your suitcase – the sun is out there somewhere I know!
As ever the shop is open Tuesday to Saturday but I am open this Sunday 5th May too as it is a Bank Holiday weekend.
Here is where I will be for the next few weeks – the shop will be open as usual.
Saturday 4th May The Corn Hall Cirencester.
Just a reminder that on Wednesday 8th May our fabulous plant sale is on in the Shambles so do come along and see all of the beautiful plants on offer – I know I will be buying some as I do every year.
Hoping to be back in Cirencester on 25th May – awaiting confirmation. Just heard, no room so will be in Saturday 1st June, hope to see you there.
Saturday 1st June I will be in Cirencester and again on Saturday 29th June.Update I will not be in Cirencester 29th June – apologies.
6th & 7th July I will be at the Cotswold Show – I always really enjoy this event, hope the weather Gods are kind!

Here are some photos from my last trip – a little sprinkle of warmth, fragrance and colour.

Breaking news – on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week as well as the shop being open as usual, I will be in Bay 20 in the Shambles with a SALE! I almost never do this but I have new stock coming and some lovely items that are surplus, plus some with tiny flaws which I won’t sell in the shop but which are a real bargain! I would also like to have my dining room back, currently full of boxes! – so whether you are looking for an embroidered shawl, a cosy blanket, a throw, a silk scarf – or even a kaftan, pop by and grab a bargain.

Well those three weeks went by in a flash, but it was a wonderful trip. Catching up with my suppliers, sourcing new and gorgeous things and bringing some home in my suitcase (just the small things!) – I am still processing it all and being grateful to have been able to see such amazing things and meet so many delightful people, to all of them I am so grateful.
Special mention to our driver and very good friend Joshy who always, always keeps us safe, takes us on adventures and is the best companion, and to his wife Seena who makes my rather fabulous newspaper bags so precisely and with such patience.
I have organic cotton dresses, dressing gowns, hand block printed napkins and runners, reversible jackets, cotton pyjamas and gorgeous kaftans too so come and say hello.
Dates for my ‘out and about days’:

I cant really believe that we will be off to India 4 weeks on Monday. So excited, I will be visiting my lovely suppliers and seeking more gorgeous goodies and enjoying the vibe and colour of India as I always do – I will post pics on Instagram @parrotsandpeonies if you want to journey with me.
I will also close for a week in March so here are the dates til the end of March:
Today til the end of January Normal hours 9.30 – 3.00 Tuesday thro Saturday inclusive

February again normal hours but I will be in Cirencester (shop open as usual) on Saturday 3 Feb and Saturday 17 Feb.

I go to Heathrow Monday 26 Feb and Ian and Sue are, as ever, house sitting and parcel taking in!
Shop open as normal Tues 27 Feb to Sat 2nd March
Shop closed for one week Tuesday 5 March to Saturday 9th
Shop re opens Tuesday 12 Feb and I am back in the shop Thursday 21 Feb – with lots of goodies!

Finally, I have just received my beautiful 100% cotton reversible bedspreads and lots of gorgeous cushion covers too so if your home has the post Christmas blues, pop in for a refresh!

I hope everyone had the Christmas they wanted with the people they wanted to share it with – and a new year beckons. For me that includes a trip to India from the end of Feb. so I thought a few dates might be a good idea!
I will be open in January as usual Tuesdays to Saturdays inclusive and the same in Feb.
I will be closed for a week from Monday 4th March to Monday 11th March and then open as usual and I will be back from India with treasures galore on Thursday 21 March. While I am away the shop will be open with my lovely ladies filling in for me.
I will post pics on Instagram while I am travelling @parrotsandpeonies and am so looking forward to reacquainting myself with the joys and colours of India.

In the meantime I hope you have a wonderful new year, with peace and happiness and all that you want for yourself and your loved ones.
