Hello ,
Greetings from Ancient Wisdom in Sheffield.
Welcome to 2019.. and it's all go here at AW as we try to catch up with orders that came over the Christmas period. We are working hard and hope to be up to speed by next week.
Yes I'm still here, although this is my last day at HQ.
Shortly I will be off to our Slovakia warehouse, where we continue to plan for a no deal Brexit, but whatever that means, and whatever happens we are pressing on with our EU warehouse venture in the pretty town of Trnova, close to Bratislava - not far from Austria.
Next week I will be reporting from there.. OMG.. it's going to be COLD... but I'm looking forward to catching up with Erica and all the team there and formulating our master plan for 2019.
After Slovakia I will be heading East, to Kuala Lumpur very briefly and then on to Hong Kong, then Sri Lanka (my first time there), then China - for Chinese New Year, then India, then Indonesia and phew.. back to China. Boy, the early part of the year is a major travel plan. And every Friday I will be reporting on where I am and what I'm doing.. I hope you are coming along for the ride (by following this newsletter). It's going to be fun and exciting, we will see what happens..
So....a lot could happen this year, what with Brexit and all, but one thing is for sure.. soon it will be the "Season of Love"..
Yes the "Season of Love" is HAPPENING! It's practically here and it's a very busy time of year at AW.. Kicking off with Valentines Day on the 14th February which lands on a Thursday.
After that is Mother's Day, always on a Sunday.. this year on the 31st March (in the UK). Just after Brexit Day..
Then Easter, all eggs and yellow candles.. Easter Sunday three weeks later on 21st April..
All the while the wedding season will be building steadily towards it's peak in June / July..
All this means that NOW is the time to get organised, lots of Spring products below. And we don't like to blow our own rose tinted trumpet, but the best place for "Season of Love" gifts is right here at Ancient Wisdom.
Soap Flowers are huge this year, we have lot's of new candles coming.. there is Pressed Flower Jewellery, Herbal Teapots are flying out already.. check out the deals below.
Cotton and Jute bags.. some cool designs as we get more.
Whatever HAPPENS.. everyone at Ancient Wisdom thank you for your kind support in 2018, and wish you all the best for 2019.
Take care..
David
