With 10 shopping days until Christmas, our minds are on our favourite things, like Qing’s incredibly soft bases, sweet haberdashery treats, gorgeous textile magazines, and lovely opportunities to get together and make things. We’ve also extended our opening hours to 11am to 6pm on all our normal days of operation before Christmas Eve. There’s more info about our opening times over the holiday season at the end of this post.

The final weeks of August are always so wonderful. As we soak up the last of the summer holidays and begin to look towards the season ahead, there tends to be a bit of respite from the daily grind. And of course it’s a perfect time to start lining up your autumn knits!
