Boyds Bear - Olde Friends


New in today is a delightful little Boyds Bear. He wears a little blue ribbon round his neck and carries his little comfort cushion, saying 'Olde Friends'.
He stands 20cms tall, he is fully jointed, so can stand or sit and is a lovely 'rustic' looking bear. A gorgeous Christmas gift for a special friend.

Shown here with a Boyds Santa Bear (now all sold).

I have five 'Olde Friends' bears for sale at the bargain price of £3.99 each (with p&p completely free of charge).

Sales are going really well on these bears so if you would like one please order quickly, and I can get them in the post before Christmas. Each bear will come with a complimentary free Christmas gift.....I'm in that lovely Christmassy mood.....!!

Thanks for looking.

Retreat Christmas Hearts and Trees

A very special purchase here today.

Last year in my little shop in the Lake District I sold some stock from a company called Retreat, many of you will have heard of them and seen their exquisite hearts, padded hangers, shoppers and make up bags. Their products were (and still are) divine and I loved having them in my shop. They scent their padded hearts and shapes with little scented beads that give off aroma indefinitely, I have had a little heart of the type shown above hanging on my bookcase door handle for over a year and with a little squeeze it still smells exactly the same as when I first unwrapped it!

A pair of Retreat Xmas Trees.


A Pair of Retreat Xmassy Scented Hearts.

I have only four packs of each of these. Each pack contains two hearts or two trees. The hearts are 11cm tall (excluding the hanger) and the trees are 15cms tall (also excluding the hanger).
The RRP for both pairs is £12.99, but as I have only four sets of each left I am selling them for the bargain price of £9.99 (inc p&p)...so, a real bargain and just in time for Christmas.

Please use the Paypal button below to make your purchase.

Many thanks for looking.
(Have you noticed my model, the lovely Herman Bear has his red christmassy bow on today, very snazzy you look Herman! Sorry he's not for sale........ I have been asked SO many times....... he's my number one model!!)

All sold - Thank you.

A Dickens of a Christmas

Charles Dickens great-great-grandson Gerald will be guest of honour.

#
If you're anywhere in this vicinity this looks like it's going to be a fantastic evening.
#
Visit Lavender's Blue in the Methodist Hall on Broadway, say hello and meet me and my Lovely Hubby, selling our Lavender and Christmas wares, mention my Blogs and recieve a lovely free gift from the stall.
#

This will bring back many happy memories for me of last years Ulverston Dickensian Festival, when the whole of Ulverston, Cumbria was transformed into a Dickension Delight for a whole weekend of revelery. Lavender's Blue... my lovely little shop was a hustling, bustling delight for the whole of the time and much fun and laughter was had by all.

Look forward to seeing you there. Have fun!

Farmers Market

This Saturday morning saw Lavender's Blue at the Farmers Market in Tetsworth.

The weather cleared long enough for us all to have a good morning and the hall was buzzy and chatty, something we all relish. Locals and visitors alike are starting to get into the Christmas spirit with lots of gifts purchased and ideas for gifts to be bought next time discussed.


Best sellers of the day were actually Lavender Esential Oil and my lovely little heart shaped Lavender Soaps. Shown here in one of the little cherub dishes that I sell.
These dishes are useful for lots of other things as well as soaps, one of my favourite uses is as a dish for sugared almonds at Christmas, so I thought I'd add them to the shop in case any of you would like to do the same.

If you would like one of your own they are just £6 (inc p&p), a real bargain and I'll throw in a couple of the soaps free of charge!
(One sold - Thank You. I now have 9 in stock.)

Lovely Wiffies



The latest items for sale are these delightful little Wiffies.

His box reads ' My name is Nicholas and I really am a Christmas tree decoration with a difference, drop some oil on to my fur and hang me either on your tree or anywhere else around your festive home'.
Each little bear comes complete in his own Santa outfit and carrying a red sack. By his side in the box is a bottle of 'Christmas Morning' scented oil. This can be used on the bear to make him smell divine or used elsewhere in your home, on pot pourri or even used in your oil burners.




This is a delightfully light scent, Christmassy and fresh not at all cloying or chemically, if you know what I mean. Last year I used one of these myself in the car in the run up to Christmas and it made a lovely change from my usual lavender.

Wiffies are £5 each (inc p&p)

(A real bargain as I sold them for £5.50 in my shop last year and they flew out!)

1 Sold - Thank you - So now I have only 4 in stock.
