Read MoreOn the second week of festive offers, my true love brought for me…
Scraps, a Daschund Draft Excluder. Woof!
Scraps is always available in MCR B&W ticking
Scraps is inspired by a dachshund draft excluder my Granny had. I have updated him for the 21st century providing you with a friendly and practical dog companion that will stop the drafts under your door, but will also look cute perched atop a sofa, dresser, bed or mantlepiece. From the tip of his nose to his tail, Scraps measures 90cm. Scraps is made from fabrics that I use in my quilts, so he is 100% British designed and made. And this week Scraps can be yours for £39, including free P&P in GB.
Thinking about the C-word, if you are starting to collate your Christmas lists (or is that just me?) and pondering postage for all of your festive gifts, here is the link to the Post Office’s last posting dates.
