     We had a great day at our annual remnant sale 

    6th March 2010 

    We raised nearly £600 for St Nicholas Hospice and all in £1 & £2 amounts. 
    Bury St Edmunds - home of fabulous cushions!
     
     
    All you need for wonderful curtains!
     
     
     
     
     The Clocks Have changed
    And  although it is a bit of a struggle to make the 7.30am start, we will be rewarded by being home in time to do things in the garden.  My rhubarb is showing signs of life and the birdies singing their little hearts out. 
    Don't mention the rabbits! cute, very little & lots of them, so we know what big rabbits have been doing in the bad weather! 
     
    Voyage have had great success with their new a crewelwork - yes it is machine embroidered but the pattern matches so that the finish of the  curtains will be precise - we are waiting for their new launch of patternbooks for this spring.
     
    The new Parkertex collection from G P & J Baker ( now called Baker Lifestyle) books are here and again several very pretty embroideries.  We are working on a new bedroom display, complete with black painted bed & the new Casamance fabrics.
     
    Ruth Watson's Country House rescue will feature an Hotel near Diss where we have helped out with the furnishings at fairly short notice - We think it will be broadcast at the end of April.  Pictures of before & after soon.
     
    If you are planning to come & see us, please do make an appointment so that we can give you some undivided attention and make sure the coffee is on.
