Beddgelert Woodcraft

Yesterday we took delivery of a shipping container, overflowing with purchases from our November 2008 buying excursion. We had a good team unloading and managed to get everything out of the box and into the warehouse, all organised, before the rain came.

As it is packed in a hot and humid country, often the contents are damp and mouldy and require a lot of attention, cleaning and polishing before they are ready for the shelf. Fortunately this one was dry and so far we have discovered very little damaged items.

When you have ordered so many items several months ago, it’s surprising how many you forget about, even though you have been pouring over the invoices for weeks.

All the sold out old favourites are back in stock, notably the mosaic plates we keep getting asked about, in many more styles and designs than last year. Plenty of wind chimes, large pebble pots, bamboo planters, more beaded jewellery, wooden birds, musical instruments and incense.

New additions for this season are; teak bowls, chairs and tables, new musical instruments (keep those kids entertained), dream catchers, extended range of incenses, tea pots and coffee sets and a rattan range featuring a Harley Davidson Bike, Vespa Scooters, VW Campers and VW Beetles!

So, our new stock is in, we just need to price it and present it. That should keep us busy for a while, there are 37000 items!
