79 days and counting ......Christmas shopping events

October already - can you believe it and the supermarkets are already beginning to fill their shelves with Christmas tat sorry goodies not to mention the yearly emergence of the all sparkling, tinsel grabbing "Christmas Shops" in the Department  Stores. Aghhhhh you may say but there is in fact only 79 days or 1907 hours or 114392 minutes (depending where you are in the world and when you are reading this of course!) until Christmas.

To help you with your Christmas shopping this year we are involved in many gorgeous shopping events which will hopefully make the whole experience much more enjoyable.

The design market to be seen at the growing Markit at Fed Square is now in its second year and is getting better and better at every event.
