I couldn't resist sharing this, from an old Hawkin's Bazaar Catalogue.  It makes me smile every time I see it.  And it's so true, isn't it?  We know when Chrsitmas will be, but it still seems to take us by surprise!

I hope you're not taken by surprise that last printing (and posting) dates for Christmas are rapidly approaching.  If you want to receive your order before Christmas, please take note of the last dates we can accept orders, which are as follows:

For posting to Eastern Europe - December 3rd

For posting to Australia and New Zealand - December 7th

For posting to Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Poland - December 10th

For posting to Canada, USA, Ireland, Spain, Finland and Sweden - December 12th

For posting to France - December 14th

For posting to Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, Switzerland - December 16th

For posting within UK - December 17th.

We will continue printing until December 23rd, but your fabric may not arrive before Christmas.  We will resume printing on January 4th, but, of course, the web site will be available all through Christmas and New Year, so if you want a break from the festivities and have some quiet time designing or browsing, then we'll be there.  (Don't expect answers to emails, though!  You may be lucky, but we can't guarantee it.)
