One, Two,Three.... wheee....eeeee

Happy Happiness

You know when they say that things happen in three's it is for a reason is it not. Well for us here at Calico Brook we have already passed the 3rd year of incorporation of our company and the third year of being in our fantastic shop in Broughty Ferry. Very soon now we will be completing our 3rd year of trading which for us has gone from strength to strength. For those of you who remember visiting us in the Overgate last summer, we are still here and doing very nicely - thank you. Apparently they tell us that 18 months is is the magic post to get past for a new company - well we have doubled that. Great.

One of the great things about getting older is that you get wiser from age and you can learn as much from what has been good and successful as from what has been less so. What is important for us is that we can display, talk and stand up for the products we like and the values that they reflect through us. It is obvious that a great many of you like what we do and what we aspire towards. So let us say hurrah for inspiration and aspiration and looking forward to many more years of Calico Brook.

We want you to be part of what makes us tick and look forward to seeing you in our shop soon.

Love from everyone at Calico Brook

Updating Updates

For all of you wondering what is happening with our website all I can say is - be patient. It is coming slow but sure. The unfortunate thing is that like taking your car to a garage, it starts off at a service but can quickly escalate into a lot lot more. What we have found is that even getting our new colour palette is a bit technical because they have to be different from our real colour paintwork by a set magnitude so that they will look the same when you visit the shop either physically in Gray Street, Broughty Ferry or online at our new website.
It has to be said that it is this kind of attention to detail that makes Calico Brook the kind of shop that it is. Because it is more than a shop.......
Speaking about the shop, it has had its new coat of paint and it is ready now for the new metal sign to go up - hopefully it will be within the next week or so as all our tradesmen tell us - subject to weather conditions. That is what the tiler has already told us twice but we are confident when it all comes together you will be amazed.
What I will say is that as soon as these final few things are done we will post some lovely pics for you to enjoy. It will be so worth the wait.
