Happy New Year!

Our first walk of 2012, at the very atmospheric Rimac near Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe in Lincolnshire. This is where we used to come and pick samphire as kids and where I once found and held in my hands a natterjack toad….. ahhhh memories…….

Edwyn Asleep Under The Tree

Merry Christmas from EdwynUK

Edwyn and I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

Thanks to all our customers old and new for making this the best year yet, we’ve really enjoyed meeting many of you and your four legged friends and hope to see you again next year at one of our markets or fairs.

We’re back at Spitalfields on the 6th January after a much need break….. And now we’re off to Bath to spend Christmas with family and enjoy some long country walks and the warmth of a good local pub!

New EdwynUK Doorstops this week at Spitalfields

Last week our doorstops were flying off our Spitalfields stall, so I’ve been busy making more for those last minute Christmas shoppers…. along with some more draught excluders, two of which have been reserved already…..

So for those of you who like to leave things last minute (and judging by the last 2 years, there are plenty of you – mainly male it has to be said ) we’ll be at Spitalfields Weds, Thursday and Friday. It’s all very Christmasy down there with mulled wine, mince pies and Montezuma wandering around with chocolate to sample! A very pleasant and less frantic area to shop or feast ……

Last Minute Christmas Shopping & an Edwyn Snow Video

This weekend is the last chance for UK customers to shop from our online Etsy store and have their goodies delivered in time for Christmas. Orders need to be placed before 9am Monday morning.
Here’s a 10% discount code for all you lovely EdwynUK fans: WELOVECHRISTMAS2011 – just enter at checkout.
Those in the USA and the rest of the world, the discount is still valid, but your orders won’t make it in time for Christmas, sadly…..

For those of you in London, we will be at Spitalfields Traders Market on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, perfect for any last minute doggie inspired gifts! We have more to choose from on our stall than we manage to list on the Etsy shop. There will be more draught excluders, as they were flying out with the cold weather last week, plus we have some very sweet zip pouches and a great range of tote and dog walking bags, oh and doorstops too…

And if you’re all done with Christmas shopping and are sitting back and enjoying the run up to Christmas with your four legged friends, get in the mood for a white Christmas with one of my favourite video’s of Edwyn in the snow a couple of years back…..

Dogs Trust Campaign – A Dog is for Life Not Just For Christmas

EdwynUK at Craft Guerrilla’s Christmas Fair

After an exhausting day at my favourite local Christmas fair, here’s a snap shot of the stall with our Christmas neckerchiefs and the star of the show, Scamp, our new EdwynUK mascot! A firm favourite of everyone (and especially small children) visiting the stall…..

Thanks to Debbie of  Craft Guerrilla for all her hard work organising the fair.

Christmas is coming………..

Now I know for some of you it’s a bit early to be thinking about Christmas, BUT we have fans all over the world, and if any of you lovely people want to give EdwynUK gifts for Christmas, then do make a note of the LAST posting dates listed below.

Now these are the last POSTING dates, so you will need to order at least one day before to get you parcel in time, and if you remember last years snow chaos (it still stumps UK postal services sad to say…) you may be best advised to order as early as you can to avoid disappointment and stress…..

Friday 9th December – Eastern Europe, USA and Canada

Monday 12th December – Western Europe

Monday 19th December – UK

Give a Dog An EdwynUK Bone

After many requests for dog toys we’re pleased to tell you that we’re making a limited edition wool squeaker dog toy – a scaled down version of our bone pillow. We’ll be making them in a variety of fabric combinations and think they’ll make a great stocking filler for your favourite four legged friend!

We’ll have them on our Friday Spitalfields Stall and they’ll be up on our Etsy shop this weekend. For more information email products@edwynuk.com
