Hello Ladies
Hope you are all surviving this cold snowy weather!!!
Well the SALE has gone really well and we have now done the final markdowns, so come and grab those last few bargains!!!!
New stock is arriving thick and fast! Gorgeous colours and prints! Oh and the Cashmere is to die for, though as we only have one in each size of the eight designs we have, they are not hanging about!!!! Our brand new collection for this season from Noa Noa has started to arrive, so if you are not familiar with this make come and have a look at how scrummy it is!!!! And if you do know the brand then get it before we sell out!!!!
With the snow still hanging around our resident 'Pam Ayres', has written us a little poem....
SNOW
The snow for now has gone away,
With reports of more to come.
And so our fears we must alay,
Until we know we have some.
Ice and slush we can do without,
For danger is too close.
No broken bones I hear you shout,
Nor colds and flu to dose.
So let us hope the sun will shine,
And chase away the snows.
Although it's lovely at the time,
We are all delighted when it goes!
She will kill me for putting this on the blog!!! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
So it's nearly the end of January and we would be delighted to see you all, we're still here come rain or shine or snow!!!
Take care

LATE NIGHT OPENING......
Hello Ladies
Hope you are all well and getting to grips the Christmas Shopping!!!!!!!!
Well it is that time of year. I've worked out that I only have 9 days off until Christmas, and that's not including Sunday 23rd!!! I really ought to get my arse into gear and get on with the present buying! Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and all the buying, wrapping and putting decorations up! But it's coming up with the ideas of what to buy people. The female members of the family are no problem, they're easy and fun to buy for, but my family is dominated by men and boys!!!! Oh hell!!!!!! It's just so hard!!! My husband is a joy to buy for and I always have far too many ideas for him. So I have 14 male members of the family to buy for and only 5 female members of the family!!! I really won't have any hair left this year!!!! So if any of you have got good ideas for teenage/twentysomethings male presents please let me know!!!!
So onto the subject of late night opening....
Petworth does this for one night only! And it is always on the first Saturday in December, so this year it is on Saturday 1st December!!
It is a fantastic day. Yes I didnt type it wrong! The town has special things going on all day.

THERAPY.......
Hello Ladies
Hope you are all well on this lovely sunny Autumn day!
I was just thinking about the name of the shop "Therapy" and how this word can mean different things to different people!
I decided to take a look at Wikipedia and see what they came up with:-
Therapy:- Therapy or treatment, is the attempted remediation of a health problem, usually following a diagnosis. In the medical field, it is synonymous with the word "treatment". Among psychologists, the term may refer specifically to pyschotherapy or "talk therapy".
Retail Therapy:- Retail Therapy is shopping with the primary purpose of improving the buyer's mood or disposition. Often seen in people during periods of depression or transition, it is normally a short-lived habit, items purchased during periods of retail therapy are sometimes referred to as "comfort buys".
Retail therapy was first used as a term in the 1980s with the first reference being this sentence in The Chicago Tribune of Christmas 1986: "We've become a nation measuring out our lives in shopping bags and nursing our psychic ills through retail therapy".
Well I for one don't agree with the one about retail therapy! What do you think?
I know when I go shopping I am partaking in retail therapy, I am not depressed or going through a period of transition, I am doing something different to my job or just being at home. I am enjoying the atmosphere, the chat, the looking, the touching and the fact that I am somewhere different. I think the sentence that appeared in the newspaper is very narrow-minded for the century we live in now and the term retail therapy has changed completely! It is the new word for SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!! Something us housewives have had to do for years!
But then calling the shop Therapy has come to mean something different to me as well. When I first started working here I just thought "oh yes, retail therapy" and that was that. But now nearly seven years on it is something else.
We have our regular customers who pop in maybe two or three times a week and customers who only come in three or four times a year, but each of them comes in for a little
therapy! Be it "retail" or "talk therapy"! It makes us really happy to think that our customers feel comfortable enough with us to yes " get things of their chest" if they need to, even get a hug if they need one or come to see us for a bit of cheering up!
And it has opened my eyes to how a smile or a kind word can mean so much to so many people.
So if you need a little "retail" therapy or some "talk" therapy we are here!
We have just had all our new Avoca Scarves, Gloves and Socks in, they are so soft and snuggly, that they feel like your wearing a hug all the time! All our soft Cashmere knits are flying off the shelves now and won't be around for much longer. So hurry on down to see us.
BECAUSE EVERY WOMAN NEEDS A LITTLE THERAPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take care

HOSIERY.......
Hosiery, Pantyhose, Tights!
Very funny sounding names if you ask me!
But it's got to that time of year when we are thinking of wearing them again. And I must say that in the Winter I find it much warmer to wear a skirt/dress with tights than wearing jeans/trousers with socks! It's all to do with layers!
Now tights do not have to be boring or make an outfit look ordinary, oh no they can be fun and the making of an outfit!
Last winter the big thing was "colour blocking" it was the buzzword of the winter and ever since colour has remained highly topical.
Now I know you're asking, what is colour blocking and what does it mean?
It refers to an especially bold display of contrasting colours: fuchsia set off against white, for instance, or mimosa against cayan or black set off against mint and lilac. Now don't panic I know it sounds extreme, but just think, if you're wearing a dress that falls just below the knee with a pair of boots and you have a pair of tights on in a stunning colour, just imagine the look you'll create as you're getting out of the car, going upstairs or the wind blows......! Now that sounds good doesn't it! The opaque tight is the way to go for this look and we have Jonathan Aston tights in stock now in some fab colours. Some why not pop in and see what colour blocking you can create for your own unique look!
Nothing changes a look as much as hosiery can. Sometimes an oufit has to work for the work day and on into the evening too. Professional for the office, formal for meetings, elegant for dinner and casual for an aperitif. How is this possible? You change your legwear!
But oh the bane of hosiery is the dreaded ladders!!!!!
Here are some tips to hopefully make your hosiery last longer:
1: Choose the correct size. This is by no means trivial. Hosiery sizes will often not correspond to clothing sizes. The S, M and L indicators in hosiery equally refer to both width and length.
2: The smoother your nails and the softer your hands, the lower the risk of laddering when putting on your hosiery.
3: They easily get forgotten: your feet. The same applies here as for the hands: file for the nails and cream for the skin.
4: Quality is critical. Check for these: are the toe heel and waistband reinforced?
5: The degree of sheerness is defined by the yarn strength: the sheerer, the more delicate.
6: Patterned tights appear delicate but will often prove more resistant than the classic circular knit with elastane.
7: Avoid all natural enemies of sheer hosiery! Especially the playful cats and dogs. And there is only one thing you can do about non-concealed zips on skirts or unvarnished chair legs! BE CAREFUL!!!!
So go on take the plunge this autumn/winter and buy yourself some fun coloured tights!
Most probably no blog next week as I shall be in Rome and Florence! My first holiday abroad! I'll let you know how I get on!
Take care
