An invitation to our Festive Safari

It’s time for our annual string of all day parties at our flagship store in London. You can listen to my invitation here, describing the origins of this event and what you can expect if you join us this year 2010. You can also view our invitation, which people have collected over the years…designed by my brothers and our childhood hood rat Stevo.

    We always enjoy the collection of your little silver animals which we started collecting when we visited your workshop in Zimbabwe with the late Peter Stead whilst visiting them.

    I love the beautiful neckless with the head of an elephant that my daughter gave to my daugther years ago, but … since I tried it, I was never able to take it off. It has been travelling with me all over the world!
    Bye…..

    Dear Patrick, It was so lovely to see you up in Edinburgh again. Unfortunately I couldnt get to your Festive Safari as we have been battling with the snow up here! I would have loved to have been there – it sounded as though it was going to be such fun. Love to you and your wonderful family. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas. Love Suzie
