Calico Brook going from strength to strength

Well as previously reported our website was launched on Saturday 14th March and we are delighted to say that early indications and statistical reports would suggest that our website is proving as popular as our shop, so thank you to all who have visited and purchased online.

As you know we are always on the look out for new ranges to bring to our store, exciting new products that we find and love that we can share with our customers - our colourful tableware which has great "green credentials", is made from recycled aluminium, is completely food safe, has recycled and recyclable packaging and is sourced only from factories that comply with International law is flying off our shelves to our customers in the Broughty Ferry store and online, so much so that after displaying for a week we had to re-order as we were just about "sold out", however, the company we deal with are great and rushed an order out to us to enable us to meet the demand. In response to customer requests for we are introducing lime green in this range, it is stunningly vibrant and we are sure you will love it - have a look at this candle/tea light holder on our website - looks lovely and is practical taking either a tapered candle or tea light.

We are exclusive stockists of this range in Dundee. We also have some exciting news that I am not yet in a position to share with you, but keep looking at the blog or website for updates - and a clue is in the header - Calico Brook going from strength to strength!

Today is the day of our website launch!

You have been patient, and we hope you agree that the waiting has been worth it? The Calico Brook website and online shop is now live! You can check the site out at www.calicobrook.co.uk

Bling Range has not left the building

Just a wee note to reassure all our loyal "bling followers" that whilst we have our colour explosion going on in the shop at the moment, we will always have "bling" - it is integrated in amongst our new ranges and looks just as fabulous as ever.

Our fantastic "bling" champagne flutes which have been so popular with all you "bling" and romance fans have been, wait for it, upgraded in Calico Brook - and as we needed to re-order, we have decided that the deluxe range of this product is the only way to go - you will find to be even more "bling" than previously - however, we do "bling "in a tasteful and sophisticated way. Keep watching the blog and I will give you a sneak preview of the new flutes over the next week. As promised check these flutes out at

Elements at Calico Brook

Calico Brook has launched an exciting new range called "Elements". This fabulous array of products to tempt you is currently adorning our window and as promised on an earlier blog entry, I have uploaded an image to let you see! A natural and tactile range of products such as slate and stone picture frames - then there is bamboo, mango wood, rattan, coconut shell bowls, wood and metal bowls, vases, pedestals, decorative items and wall art - the collection is really great and has been ethically sourced.

Already our customers are welcoming the new range and as we limit the number of any one item we bring into our store, our advice is get it when you see it, if you can - we would far rather have a select and special range with an "exclusive" feel to it, than have lots and lots of the same item on sale - you can get that kind of product on the high street - not what our discerning customers have come to expect from us.
