Mailing list; if you would like to go on our mailing list to receive advance notice of each catalogue, please e-mail one of us with your details.  (e-mail addresses below). 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!

We produce three catalogues a year, usually February/March, June/July, and October/November and we do our best to alternate between a Saturday and a weekday, as we know some fo our customers prefer one and some the other.
