Hello and a hot chestnuts roasting on an open fire welcome to our December newsletter!
In this month's letter ...
New(ish) leaflets by Mirabilia and Bella Filipina
Winter collections from Permin, Heritage Crafts and Bothy Threads and more new long stitch kits from 'oor ain' Anne
More Christmas Bargains in the basement
Patterns Bellatrix by Bella Filipina is an elegant witch in her tower. Our first batch of these have disappeared quickly but we'll definitely be ordering more soon.
Kits
Permin have released their fourth 2020 collection. You can see the collection in our Best Friends by Peter Underhill is from the Golden Years series and Betty and her friend are of course stitching. Katrina in her stunning ball gown is the latest in his collection of elegant ladies.
Anne has designed two Bargain Basement and they'll be there until the end of the year (while stocks last). Keep watching as new ones may be added through the month!
And Finally ...
Our title is from a piece called Christmas Trees by Robert Frost(US writer and poet, 1874-1963) and described as a circular letter in which the writer receives an offer to buy some trees that grow on his land ...
«[The city came] To look for something it had left behind
And could not do without and keep its Christmas.
...
A thousand Christmas trees I didn't know I had!
Worth three cents more to give away than sell,
As may be shown by a simple calculation.
Too bad I couldn't lay one in a letter.
I can't help wishing I could send you one,
In wishing you herewith a Merry Christmas.»
