Christmas 2021 owes us one! A profitable time for retailers and such a joyous time to be browsing the high street, resting our shopping bags for a hot chocolate or something stronger, here’s hoping this year is in a completely different league to 2020 when our precious stores were forced to close their shutters.
This issue has a fabulous feature on the mega trend: wreaths! Not just for Christmas, home owners and store owners are decorating their entrances with Halloween themes, spring and easter wreaths and of course festive designs. We can’t get enough of them and have dedicated three pages for the trend! Followed closely by another four pages of our festive finds – either to make and gift or to make and proudly display. There’s a huge focus on sewing & stitching, embroidery & tapestry and art supplies not to mention our brand spanking new section – brimming with exciting new products.
We hope the final quarter is kind to you all and we will embrace and look forward to 2022 and the new trends, technologies and inspirations it will bring.
Happy reading,
Rachel Westall, Editor
