Mailing list; if you would like to go on our mailing list to receive advance notice of each catalogue, please e-mail Sally with your details (e-mail address below). NB We never share contact details with any third parties. We produce three catalogues a year, usually February/March, June/July, and October/November;  Please note; although we sell separately, we do have a joint mailing list, so if you are on it, please do feel free to order from both of us, whoever your initial contact was with! If you are not able to use the internet regularly, we also do a postal version which we would be happy to send you.
