Christmas 2015 posting dates

We use a mixture of UK Royal Mail/Post Office for small packets and for larger orders, especially vases, a courier service.
We can never be certain, but based on the UK Post Office information, we recommend latest order dates for:

Courier services will generally take 24-48 hours in UK and 3-5 days for outside UK. However, at Christmas peak time, we still advise the order dates above, just to esnure we can get your order delivered before Christmas Day.

We will, of course, continue to take and process orders taken right through the Christmas period.

Several of my students are left-handed. And we’ve recently had enquiries from customers asking if we could supply left-handed hasami. Well, I’ve found the perfect solution.

I have just received an innovative new Japanese-made hasami which is a modern alternative to traditional hasami. It features teflon-coated, hardened steel blades with easy-grip, thermoplastic handles for comfort and control.

Right-handed?  Don’t fret! the very same modern hasami are available in both left-handed and right-handed versions.

We have taken delivery of our new stock of Ikebana vases, with some fun, summertime additions.

If you’d like to create freestyle arrangements that are just that bit different, these curly tubes might just provide the inspiration.  And as this picture shows, you can pair them in an embrace too!

For the traditionalists, we replenished some favourites and added a cuple of new ones in the more classical style.

We know many of you have been patiently awaiting our new arrivals and at last, two months overdue, they’ve arrived. You can find them all in our shop, in the vases section.  We know they’ll be selling fast, so don’t delay.

Our new range of Ikebana vases has finally arrived…too late for last Christmas and almost just in time for next Christmas, but better late than never.

Oh, and we’ve already started preparing our next order…lesson learned!

We have finally received our Christmas delivery – yes seriously – of kenzan, hasami and accessories.  All are now back in stock!

May we sincerely apologise to all our shop customers if you’ve experienced a problem preventing you from adding items to your shopping cart.This problem started on Saturday morning following an early morning update, but wasn’t spotted until today, Sunday.

We have now resolved the cart problem and thank you for your patience.
