The countdown to Christmas has begun…

With less than six weeks to go Christmas is just around the corner! Have you started your present-shopping yet? Last Wednesday and Thursday, the Christmas shoppers were out in force at the annual Macmillan Christmas Fair in Newquay where Charlotte and I were manning the Celtic Sheepskin stand. This is the only fair that we take part in due to time and the sheer logistics of showcasing all of our products – there are just too many to show them all but we love to be part of this event in support of the charity.

We mentioned the event this time last year in the blog so you can read all about it here if you like and if you are interested to see how our stand looked this year, here are a few photos;

Charlotte and I both took advantage of the opportunity to raid the press sample wardrobe of course! From previous experience, we chose to wear pieces that would keep us cool during the day as the hotel would soon heat up as the customers piled in.

Here’s Charlotte looking lovely in her outfits…

In the left hand picture, Charlotte is modelling the Short Sleeve Slouch Cardi over a Muscle-back Pointelle Vest and her boots are our Himalayan Boots – they attracted lots of enviable glances!

In the right hand picture Charlotte is wearing the Hooded Bodywarmer over an Organic Cotton V Tee.

Here I am in my choices;

The first outfit (on the right of the image above) was very simple - a Sleeveless Cowl Jumper Dress and a pair of Biker Boots. I was thoroughly comfortable all evening!

On Thursday I wore the Deep V Jumper Dress over a Muscle-back Pointelle Vest, (this time in Chalk) which I teamed with a pair of Button Boots. A couple of people commented on the look of the Deep V Jumper Dress particularly the flattering shape – I must agree that it is a forgiving and easy-to-wear style.

Since receiving my first “Merry Christmas” from a friendly customer at the event, I am now feeling the Christmas spirit and I think that it is fair to say at Celtic Sheepskin we are full of festive cheer too. This year marks the launch of our inaugural Christmas catalogue which is full of gift ideas for your favourite people – from children to sisters and sons to grandfathers, there is something for everyone not forgetting yourself of course! I don’t wish to spoil the surprise by giving away any more details (after all, isn’t that one of the joys of Christmas presents?!) but just to whet your appetite, here is a first glimpse of the front cover…

Hope you’re as excited as we are! I will of course let you know as soon as the catalogue is available and in the meantime may I be the first to wish you all Merry Christmas!
