What a difference a day makes.

Sunday 7th March 2010 16:51

The sun was streaming through the windows early this morning, so we were up and out to Southwold to get breakfast in the cafe by the Harbour. A naughty treat, as the 'Full English' was taken along with copious quantities of tea and toast!
Since then though, we have walked right along the seafront....bought bedding plants for the garden and dug them in...done loads of garden clearing after the Winter...and we have generally been 'on the go', in the sun all day. Brilliant!!
I've had loads of e-mail from ladies as far afield as Australia and the USA, and every time I stop for a cuppa, I quickly reach for the laptop to keep the answers flowing. I am still totally amazed that my little shop is in the mindset of ladies across the world. I just love the whole concept of the www.

In a few minutes we shall set off for our Health Centre, as we aim to swim for 30 minutes each, around 6 days a week....plus I will have 4 minutes on the sunbed. Ouch...dont tell me....sunbeds are wicked things! I know, I know, but this time of the year, I am magnetically drawn towards them for half a dozen sessions. I just cannot help myself.

Finally, we dont have Roast Dinner today, so going to spend the early evening making one of Clives old favourites, and with a bit of luck there'll be something decent to watch on the telly! (Unlikely, I know!)

Hope you've had a lovely day too!

The sun has brought all the ladies out!

Thursday 4th March 2010 15:59

Like little snowdrops, all (or at least a good many) of my ladies have come out from hibernation and into the city today....the shop has been like a busy cocktail party, with lots of jovial conversations, and laughter. Louise and I have been trying also to keep the momentum of the stock un-packing and steaming, but it has been hard!!

I buy for a shop much larger than the actual space we have here at Walkers, and consequently the rails are now bulging at the seams. Frighteningly, we still have loads more stock to come, so I am hoping that all you readers buy up what we have in so far to make some space!! Arent I cheeky!

Rundholz Check Jersey story.

Wednesday 3rd March 2010 14:01

Hi, just to let you know we have dresses, tops, tunics and trousers in the check jersey story. It will be photographed Thursday, and will appear online sometime after, probably over the weekend.
If you cant wait that long and want to call us, feel free to do so.

We also have new Flax, new Elemente Clemente, Oska comfort collection, and more Lunn. So the website will change dramatically over the next week or so.

I am told we will have the complete Rundholz Spring, by, or shortly after 12th March. So not long to wait for linen and another black jersey group. I am hoping I get mine before those (wicked) German shops get theirs!!

On a personal front...not much happening, as it is all systems ahead for work at the moment...but heading towards a French Break in a couple of weeks time. Spring is coming, it is definately warmer here...and a bit brighter, so we are very pleased.

Must get on...lots Rundholz to sort out!

Help.............

Tuesday 2nd March 2010 14:50

So much to do, and no time to do it! The UPS man has been here, and deposited all his vans worth of cardboard boxes. We have new Flax, Elemente Clemente, Senas clothes and scarves.....Still no more Rundholz.
So I cant blog for long, as we are struggling to get all the stock processed. It'll be photographed tomorrow and online probably by the end of the week.
I'm a bit miffed (understatement) as it looks like Rundholz have delivered one group of the Black label, to all the other retailers except me....as the collections are showing up all over the place. Hopefully, we'll get ours soon!

Back to work!

Thursday 25th February 2010 16:46

Here we are again...and today had the joy of opening a box of goodies from LUNN. This is a diffusion line from Lilith...very pretty, and not as expensive as Lilith. This will be online by the weekend.

Everyday, I bring a salad to work, and have it with a small roll, and later an orange. Today I ate the salad, and thought I would save the other items to eat later, when I was hungry. Or so I thought....when I went back into the kitchen to get them, they were gone. Clive thought that I had left them unwanted, so he polished them off for me. That was on top of a whole carton of Covent Garden soup.

How come slim people can get away with being greedy? Recently a customer bought us a packet of choccie biscuits, and in our absence, Louise (slim as a reed) ate them all!!

Where is the justice in that!!
