Last orders for Christmas!

Wow, what a busy few days it's been!

The Ruskin Glass Centre's Candlelit Shopping Evening was really lovely, but anyone visiting our shop found that we were rather busy with a constant queue at the checkout all evening!  The Centre looked fabulous with low lighting, and we're so pleased that everyone enjoyed the evening...complete with mulled wine and mince pies of course.  It was a cold night after all - just look at the icicles that formed in the Courtyard's Fountain!

Last week was our busiest for Christmas orders, and we're pleased that everything has been dispatched, so loads of fragrant goodies are on their way!  This year we've heard that postal timescales have been pretty good, with many items arriving within a couple of days of dispatch so hopefully most parcels will have arrived by now.  But it's now getting so close to Christmas, that we can no longer guarantee that internet orders will arrive before the big day.  However as orders arrive, we'll continue to send them out as usual in the hope that some arrive on time.

At our Stourbridge shop, there's still a good selection of festive gift hampers available although a few items are very limited now.  The Fizzing Butter Melts have sold out (as usual!) so we'll only be making these to order now - and they take a day or so to dry so this will cause a short delay.

This year our shop will be closing at 4pm on Sunday 23rd December.  We'll be taking a well earned extended Christmas break this year and will be closed for 3 weeks so we can re-charge the batteries.  We'll re-open again on Tuesday 15th January 2013.  During this time our webshops will continue to accept orders, but they will not be processed until after we return.  So if you need anything urgently, we'd suggest that you place an order asap or call in to see us in the coming week so you don't run out.
