We're finishing off some of our delicious merino wool hotty covers today - here's a pile waiting to be labelled and packed. Just in time I think as there's a definite autumnal nip in the air today.

It's full steam ahead here as we get stock ready for the autumn. We've got a photo shoot for the next catalogue in a couple of weeks and we're also stockpiling for all the autumn fairs, mail order sales and, of course, the new shop which opens in October. It's definitely time for list writing - endless, endless lists! This morning Sarah was preparing the leather bases that we put in our linen tote bags - the leather is wonderful deerskin tanned near Glasgow and then pressed to make it stiffer for the bases.
