One of the the best things about running your own business is being able to choose where you spend your time. And this, the SOUTH EAST MAKERS CLUB is one of the very best!

This Saturday, 17th March, is St Patrick's Day, and he, of course, is the patron saint of Ireland.

There is still a whole week of January to get through. Stay under a blanket until February (then at least you only have 28 days until Spring!)
This blanket - designed and woven in the UK- is in our Sale: it is £50 (was £75).

On sofas, in the back of the car, at the end of the bed, folded round shoulders...a good blanket makes a great gift (to yourself or others) and the herringbone design gives a gentle nod to tradition whilst working in any setting. Size: 140 cm x 185 cm Note: Woven in Leeds, using 100% Pure New Wool.
