An Overdue Update from LPC

We are dead on our posh-shod feet. The physical toll of exhibiting, selling and marketing is showing itself in our bodies and minds and houses.... The long hours on our feet have given us swollen ankles, our minds are blurred and our homes are full to bursting with ironing do-to and breakfast bowls to clear away (from last month). BUT it has all been worth it. So far, our 2010 Christmas Fair season - which we are nearly half way through - has been a great success and we have handed out nearly one million leaflets and taken nearly as many orders. Thank you to everyone for giving us such a moral hug. It is a rare opportunity for us to be able to step out from behind the website and meet the customers face-to-face.

Our best-selling wooden toys have been from the small boy's range of pull along trains, push-along tractors and toolkits. We met a lot of grannies who were keen to buy sturdy presents for their little terrors, but they were not wanting to break the bank (Train is £9.95 and Tool Box £19.95) or break the peace at the same time. No drum kits this year, just good wooden toys for little hands and adventurous minds.

The small girls have treats lined up for their Christmas presents too this year. We sold lots of our gorgeous 'Jenny' Floral nighties (£16.95 makes it the most affordable long-sleeved cotton night dress out there) and our unique shaped blackboards. The Gingerbread Man with Bite attracted lots of attention (£12.99) and the Bunny and Heart shapes were a big hit too. We have only a couple left, so please order now if you are interested to avoid disappointment.

We cannot believe our luck. Our favourite Wood Whittler, Dick Willis, has introduced a new range of child's chair. We have a few here in stock: elm, oak and distressed finish available, all with yew back rungs. To celebrate this new introductory range, we have reduced all of the prices from £105 per chair to only £75 so get buying before we change our minds! Call us for more information...

We are getting ready for another fair tomorrow, but we are always around to take your lovely calls and your lovely orders. Happy shopping everyone!

With love from

Emily and Emma
