You wouldn't think it was possible but look what has arrived. They are just so beautiful - way above what I could have dreamed of. I can say this as the success of the project was really down to 3 people - Jane Robertson who took some beautiful photographs in some terrible conditions, Kate Stockwell who transformed my scribbled and vague wavey handed wittering into beautiful design and Nick Thomson of J. Thomson Colour Printers in Glasgow who have done a fabulous job with the printing - the only firm that I contacted who came up with solutions, suggestions and trial sizes as part of the quotation process (and even then came in cheapest) . Their attitude was summed up by the fact that my catalogues were dropped off tonight on the way home rather than wait for Monday.
I am so delighted with them that I have been driving round foisting them on people and forgetting that it might be seen as sales . . .
Anyway - if you would like one - and the first 100 orders over £30 get free fridge magnets made from vintage Sanderson linens worth £7.95 so its worth getting in their early - e-mail me at [email protected]. People who've already contacted me - I'll get them in the post on Monday.
Off to hop around the house like a demented thing and join Euan for what remains of our wedding anniversary (16 years)

All the way across the pond, in steamy hot Southern California, where your lovely thistle door stop sits filled with pennies and holds the swinging kitchen door open for breezes to blow and corgi and cats to saunter through at will, we offer congratulations on your first catalogue...and happy anniversary!
