The Thornbury Christmas Window Competition is now in full swing. Our wonderful muse Rodney has seen the window and given us his blessing. The 12 Rodney gnomes look extremely comfortable in the Surroundings window with their boxes of decs and good cheer. Don't forget to vote for your favourite window and even find the Christmas related words hidden in the windows, this can be done by dropping of an entry form in the participating stores or voting online at mythornbury.co.uk.
As of Saturday 6th December the 2014 Thornbury Christmas Window Competition kicks off. There are over 20 shops taking part and if you find the Christmasy word hidden in each participating window you can be entered into the cash-prize-draw. You have until Christmas Eve to vote and enter. Visit mythornbury.co.uk for further details and the chance to cast your votes or pick up an entry form in one of the participating stores.
This Thursday we will be open for late night shopping along with many other traders in Thornbury. We will be open from 9:30am - 9:30pm. We might even bust the mulled wine out!
We just wanted to say a huge thank you to all those who attended our late opening yesterday. It was lovely to see you all and with your help and raffle ticket purchases, we raised £126.23 for the wonderful NSPCC. Not bad in 2 hours. Well done to friends of the shop, Viv and Caroline for winning the raffle prizes. Sorry to those who didn't.
You are warmly invited to join us at our Bath Studios this Friday night, 21st November, from 4-7pm for Prosecco, blinis and a first glimpse of Christmas at Marmalade House. We will be displaying our Chalkpaint™ Christmas colours and taking part in the international #AnnieSloanLate initiative to help children through the NSPCC. Stockists all over the world are taking part to help make a real difference.
Ok so some of you may have already seen our ‘save the date’ plea for Annie Sloan Late on Friday 21st November 2014. Here are the plans...
Basically on the 21st November Annie Sloan would like as many of her worldwide stockists to stay open late in aid of charity, with the ultimate aim being that there will be a stockist open somewhere, at any point, over a 24 hour period. This is of course great if we can raise a few quid for her chosen charity, the NSPCC and it also doubles up as a nice seasonal opportunity for us to socialise with you, our very special customers.
None of us have had much time to prepare for this so it’s will be a basic set-up but the most important thing to remember is that there will be wine! We’ll also have some big boards up and some Chalk Paint™ cans open for you all to have a mess-about with if you so desire. Of course there will be a collection pot but there will also be a raffle with the prize being an Annie Sloan Hamper worth £60 that we are chucking in to help raise as much as possible.
We’d love to see you and we really want to raise at least £100 for the NSPCC. That’s all Annie wants from each stockist. I’m sure with you’re help we can do it.
So, between 5pm and 7:30pm on November the 21st, please come and join us for what we hope will be a really nice evening.
We will be staying open late tonight to mark the switching on of Thornbury's amazing Christmas light display. Feel free to pop in if you fancy a free mulled wine.
