DONNA WILSON WINTER HATS

The winter woolies season is here and we have a great range of lovely hats from Donna Wilson at The Flock.  Originally from Scotland, Donna Wilson now works with her team from her studio in London where they design, knit and sew everything. Donna is committed to keeping local craftmanship alive and all of her products are made in the UK.  Her new collection of hats made from Scottish lambswool is inspired by the outdoors and Nordic style patterns which are evident in her Circus hat and Dash-dot hats.  They are all available online at The Flock and instore very soon.  Don't dally - very limited stock!!

WAITING FOR THE NEW SHOP TO OPEN

We have been waiting for 8 months to open our new shop at The Tannery in Christchurch. 

Thankyou everyone for your support and patience through these long slow months.  We are so close now - just waiting for one last consent from the council.  See you all really soon.

And the flock of seagulls?  We just love them!

FOUND MY ANIMAL - FOUND US SOME GREAT PRODUCTS IN SUPPORT OF A WORTHY CAUSE.

We are so pleased to have products by New York based company Found My Animal instore soon. Inspired by a family member working as a fisherman, their founder made her rescue pup the very first 3-strand, hand-spliced and whipped rope leash back in 2006. Nothing like it existed in the market, so by 2007, FOUND MY ANIMAL got started making the same unique nautical leads for their customers.
All of their accessories are U.S. made and meant to last and last. Nothing ages more beautifully than marine-grade rope and metals or waxed canvas.
They use rugged, all-weather materials. You can hand or machine wash any of their leashes or waxed canvas wear.
Visit their GIVING page http://foundmyanimal.tumblr.com/ as well as their FOUND MY ANIMAL Facebook page for regular updates and info.

On a gloomy late Friday afternoon when I am exhausted from doing the new shop fit-out I would rather be in a Wisteria tunnel in Japan.
