Yes, it's that time of year when I assemble the Cottontails squirrels and call it an Autumn department.

I was so late publishing the summer gift guide that I have delayed things for as long as possible, but frankly it's freezing out there now and I can no longer peddle 'lovely summery toys' with a straight face.

So... time to roll out all things autumnal. By which I mean... squirrels. 

'Autumnal Inspiration' has appeared on the menu, where you will find lovely soft toys and gifts for autumnal babies, woodland wooden toys and autumny cards and crafts. 

I am also planning some kind of Autumn special offer during early October but details are vague at the moment...  maybe a competition, discount, chance to squirrel away some gifts for Christmas... not sure. But something. So make sure you are signed up to the newsletter (below) and I'll let you know as soon as I get my act together.

In the meantime, happy autumn folks...! It truly is my favourite season and I am smiling as I write this - looking out of the Cottontails window at blue skies, falling leaves and - when I'm really lucky - a actual real life squirrel,
