Hi Everyone

 

Hope all is well with you

 

We are coming to the end of our winter break and after next week we will be back to opening all week in the shop. Mevagissey is starting to get a few tourists visiting again despite the freezing cold weather we have been having lately. Before we know it, Easter will be here and the summer tourist rush will be underway. We look forward to seeing those of you who will be visiting Mevagissey this summer. It’s always nice to see all the familiar faces who come back to see us every year. Particularly as some of you seem to come miles out of your way just to visit us.

 

We also welcome a huge number of people who will be receiving our newsletter for the first time this month. We only add new people to mailing list who sign our guest book and leave an email address or those who email us expressing an interest in our products. So, if you do not wish to receive our newsletter in the future just reply to this email with the words “Help mad people have my email address“ in the subject field and we will remove you from the list immediatly. OK so that’s the legel stuff out of the way, so onto the fun bits………. While we are on the subject of legeal matters. Is it just us, or do any of you get the feeling that the litigation culture that has been plagueing America is starting to creep in to the UK? The televison seems full of “have you had an accident recently” type adds. There are also stalls appearing in markets with grinning solicitors offering legal services to people who have had accidents. We get very tempted to accidentally trip over one of their stalls and then sue them for damages. And then there is always the provisios that have started to appear on the packaging of everything like packets of nuts which inform you that “This product may contain traces of nuts” This does make things difficult for shops like us who sell oils potions herbs and brews. So don’t be alarmed if you see a huge sign on the door next time you visit saying.

 

None of the products in this shop are to be used, taken, eaten, sucked, swallowed, or inserted into any part of your body or applied to any of your bodies external surfaces without a full bio-chemical analysis. In particular, our selection of swords and daggers are not reccommended for internal use. There is an extreme danger of death if any of our products are used in a way manner or form that might cause a danger to yourself or others.

You enter these premises at your own risk and any product you purchase is your sole responsibility as soon as it is purchased. We accept no responsibility for unecpected pregnancies caused by wearing our sexy basques or short skirts. This shop may contain NUTS!

 

That about covers it we feel       

 

As you will see from this months “what’s new” page, we have already had lots of new stuff ariving ready for the summer season. www.lavenderpillow.co.uk/whats_new.html  

 

Or if you want to see the whole site go here www.lavenderpillow.co.uk  there are also quite a few items reduced to clear on the “what do we sell” pages. So have a browse, snap up a bargain and help us to make room for all the new stuff that is on the way.

 

What else is new…… well we have a new computer….. Our old one has been limping on for the past 5 years but alas it’s days are numbered. When we bought it, it was a very expensive, state of the art, mega powerful super computer. However as is the way with such things, within six months it had decended to the level of an obsolete piece of junk. 5 years on it is now viewed by serious computer people as an archeological relic which is slightly slower and more troublesome than an abacus. So we have purchased a new super sexy state of the art, mega powerful laptop (soon to become an obsolete piece of Junk by the end of the summer). This means we now have computer facilities in the shop which should improve efficiency and speed up the processing of mail orders and provide an even better service to our customers…… Well that is how Bazz justified the enourmous expense….. Rose thinks it has more to do with the fact that it has a built in TV tuner and there is a World Cup coming up this summer…… 

 

We can also confirm that we have put Mevagissey on the Goth map. Last week we were a little surprised to see a hearse pull up outside the shop (we prodded each other to make sure it hadn’t come for one of us) and a nice young lady in full mourning dress came into the shop and bought several gothic items and then got into the hearse and drove off. Presumably to her next funeral. We feel that this must entitle us to lots of Goth credability points.

 

Our Goth Babes and Goth Geezers pages are still proving very popular and we have added lots of new Goth icons which customers have suggested. We have even had some superb pictures of Gothmobiles sent in for our Goth motors page.  So keep sending your suggestions in and we will add them to the site. Use the links below to checkout the latest aditions.

We have also updated our “Fashion Page” with the latest spring fashions hot of the catwalks. So if you want to check out what not to wear this spring, go here.

And rest assured that we will continue to stock our huge range of comfortingly unfashionable alternative clothing which you will not find in Ewe Look.

 

That’s all for this month.
