Things are getting very exciting now. This Saturday is the big day for Cardigan shop. We have been trying to move all of our sale stock so that we have room for all the lovely new stuff we have coming into the shop. There is also talk of a prize draw…

…Well if you’re interested why not pop into the shop for bit of a chat? We’d love to know what you think of our shop and our new stock…

As the season comes to and end, and so is the sale, we have decided that Cardigan shop needs to clear out it’s last few winter bits. So until we do the big changeover for Spring, there is an extra 20% off everything in store.

We have got some unique stuff that never made it to production, some older classic pieces and tomorrow we get another few boxes of special stuff from the back of the warehouse.

So if you are in Ceredigion over the next couple of days and are up for a rustle through some bargains drop by.

Just Cardigan shops way of spreading some niceness…

Out of the 3 of us in the printshop 2 of us are now broken, if we stripped Mike down for parts, the only able bodied one left, we might be able to coble together 2 people though.

After braving the weather for the past couple of weeks I came to the conclusion that I was a bit bored of being cold. So, I decided to have a look in our stockroom to see what I could find. I couldn’t believe my luck! I found Warm 49ers, Barrier Hoodies, Cuddy shirts, Warm Marys and a few Cosy Wrap knits.

All of a sudden I’m not so cold.

The Big Picture have done some blogged 4 sets of pictures to round up the year and decade.
Well worth a look.

Thursday was a busy day in Cardigan shop! Tess had joined the team, so after a hard days training I decided the best way to celebrate was with a pot of tea. As I ran down to Fforest, our sign was standing happily in the glow of the streetlamps. Five minutes later as I came past with the tea I saw the unthinkable…

…Someone (or something) had destroyed our sign and left it propped up against itself. As soon as we had finished our tea, we acted promptly and called our in-house forensic team (Ade and Ruben). After many seconds worth of testing the results came back inconclusive, we don’t know what did it. My personal view is that it’s a local creature known only as the Beast of Boncath.
As you can probably see from the picture despite the horrific destruction we have 20% off most things until Sunday (yep we are open on Sunday). So pop in and say hello.

Sound familiar?

When we did this at the end of November it made a lot of our customers very happy. But we figured that there are a fair few of our customers who are like us, and leave their Christmas shopping until the last minute.

So we decided to repeat the offer (there’s nothing wrong with recycling) and encourage you to do your last minute shopping with us.

So, for one day (and a bit either side) we are giving you 20% off all our stuff and free postage on all orders.

We’ll ship your stuff in time for Christmas, as well.

That should make things a little easier.

By the way the offer ends midday Friday 18th December online, but our shops in Carnaby Street, Bristol and Cardigan will keep the offer going over the weekend.

To claim your discount just enter code SNOW2B at the checkout, quote it to the folks in mail order or take it to one of our shops.

After a load of sweet talking and bribery I finally have them in stock. Yay! Unfortunately there is a catch, they are VERY limited edition and I won’t be getting any more. Good luck!

The 2009 Do documentary is here. Well worth a watch.

My favourite lecture had to be Micheal Pawlyn’s. He spoke on Biomimicry in relation to an amazing project he is involved in: “The Sahara Rainforest Project”.
