Shop Closed 25th Aug.thru 1st Sept.

It's been a great Summer season. The weather here has been mild...sometimes too mild and overcast...but even a grey day at the beach is a good one.
I've had  brilliant experiences greeting the holidaymakers and trusted long time customers over the months.
Thanks to all that have stopped in !

Now is the time for me to take a bit of a break myself.
I will return to the shop(in a much refreshed state) at 10am on 2nd Sept.
Over the Labour Day Weekend I will be at the shop:
Thurs., Fri., Sat., Sun. and Mon. 10am-2pm

The following week 9th - 12th shop hours will be Thurs. through Sun. 10am - 2pm

Then the shop will be closed because:

I will be in Seattle on a speaking engagement tour 16th - 20th dates for public venues listed in prior blog.
I hope to see you there.

Then back in the shop 23rd and on a Thurs. -Sun. schedule for the remainder of the month.

I trust this finds you well and enjoying the summer and all it has to offer.

All the best,
Linda

A Heartfelt Thanks

To all that expressed their condolences on my uncles passing.

I'm back in the shop and 3 orders came in whilst I was away.

For the woman that was looking for the Cat and the Moon pillbox...I have 4 in just now...but don't know
how long they will last.

The sterling and enamel jewellry is in  from the Celtic Realm.
As well as new Irish shirts and sweatshirts. The flags are here and found an unusual one (that I'd only seen in shops in Scotland).

Thanks again for all your concerns and well wishes.

Cheers,
Linda
