I gave myself the day off today meeting a friend for lunch in town, and I did a spot of shopping too.
Harley came along with his owner to lunch. I refrained from bringing Pepperpot as I reckoned she would be over-excited and silly, causing complete chaos.
Harley, of course, behaved beautifully, charming all around him which confirmed to me that I was right to leave Pepper behind.
A quick visit to Jamieson’s, where I rearranged the field…..
And we admired their front shop window. Inspirational.
And then I popped into the Tourist Centre to get some tea towels of the ladies – Vitamin and Fivla – before they close down in Autumn (see the Shetland News link – it explains everything).
Anyway, the Tourist Centre sells the tea towels, or drying-up cloths (apparently they are called “dish towels” in the US).
And, look, there is also a tote bag too with the same photo on both sides.
I will admit I did let on that these were my Shetland ponies and, although older, they are still going along well.
Prices –
£7.40 for tea-towel
£18.50 for the tote bag
Postage – I need to package one up and can let you know. I am happy to post to anywhere in the world, if you are happy to pay the cost.
Message me – frances@fstaylor.co.uk
If you want one or many, let me know. I am happy to pop in, buy what you want and post it out to you. I would hurry, though. I think the shop is planning to close soon (September is the rumour, but I could be wrong).
How costly is it to mail to the US?
Depends on weight. £3.35 upwards….
I would love a couple of tea towels of your wonderful girls, please. Happy to paypal or BACS the money to you asap.
Please can you email me your address so I can work out postage?

Yes please, organise a tote bag for me , I’ll gladly pay any postage you chose. I’d forgotten about the ponies and their advertising debut, this will be a much envied project bag at my knitting and spinning groups here in New Zealand.
I would love a tea towel, depending on shipping to Colorado, USA
Thanks!
John
Not that your crew are not wonderful, but I am in love with Harley . . .
Yes, it looks as if I’ll be sending some pony gifts for Christmas presents. I’ll email you.
OK, I just read the article and it’s a shame they are closing visitor centers….
I could not agree more. Just been in today – the place was packed.
