SPRING......

Hello again lovely ladies, hope you are all well and bearing up under these grey clouds we seem to be   having all the time.......too depressing!!!! And also to think this time last year we were having very warm sunny weather, I can remember sitting in my garden and it being bliss!!! Ho Hum!!! Well it will arrive eventually, fingers crossed!!!!

On that note I asked our resident ' Pam Ayres ' to write us a few lines to hurry Spring on its way to us.......

 SPRING

Hello Spring! How great it is
To see you once again,
The little birds in such a tis
are making nests, yet are quite tame,


Trilling out their lovely songs
and preening their feather tresses,
Coloured flowers in their throngs,
Trees wearing their fairy dresses.


So join with us, and come along
To Therapy, where you will see
all the colours of nature for you to don,
a match for any feather, blossom or leaf.


Hopefully that makes you feel a little more springlike!!!!

And as the poem says we do have some wonderful colours in for this season that would cheer up any grey day!!! And oh how much better we feel when we wear colour, it lifts the mood. So lets get out of our black, grey and brown and wear those greens, oranges, pinks, yellows,blues and reds!!! Cheer everyone up, cheer yourself up!!! It might still be a tad cold outside but in Therapy it is lovely and warm for you to try on all our scrummy clothes, be brave and take the plunge!!! And as the saying goes " the early bird gets the worm" so to avoid disappointment of us not having your size left pop
along to us nice and early!!!!!

And on that note with the sun trying bravely to chase the grey clouds away, I shall take my leave....

Go well

THEY'VE ARRIVED.......

Yes our famous LA BADIA suede pumps from Florence are here. We have four new stunning colours for the Spring/Summer season.

A mouthwatering Green, a sunny Orange, a cool Pale Blue/Jade and a very good neutral Tan.



We also have our full range of our new Noa Noa shoes in. The Gold dancing shoes would be particularly good for all those Summer weddings, parties, and get togethers. And the Ruffle wedge is so cute and pretty, the pale mushroom colour looks so good with everything, I can assure you that you won't want to wear any other shoes!!! We also have the stunning Silver baseball boot, they are heavenly. The process they put them through means that the more you wear them the more vintage they will look, scrummy.

It's time to dig those summer shoes out from the back of the wardrobe and under the bed and have a good old look at them. Are they looking their best??? Are they looking a little tired??? Should they be relegated to only be worn when gardening???? Did they make your feet hurt??? Or are you just fed up with them!!!!

So why don't you pop in and feast your eyes on our wonderful array of shoes!!!

I mustn't forget to mention the Toni Pons shoes that you all loved last year!! We have them again this year in more styles and colours!! Yippee!!!!

Sorry that my blog is not that long today but I have a stinking cold and my brain doesn't want to work!!! You would think that now it's March and Spring is here that colds etc would all just go away, but no, and god knows where I got mine from!!! I normally have a very strong constitution and never have colds!!!! So come on sun and warm weather do your thing!!!

Oh yes and don't forget that it's MOTHERS DAY on Sunday!!! We've got a wide range of scarves, jewellery, bags, candles and soaps that would make ideal Mothers Day presents!!!!

IT'S NEARLY MARCH........

Well ladies as I sit here it's trying to snow and ( excuse my language ) it's bloody cold !!!!!!

But we're nearly there.....this time next week it will be March !!!!! Yippee !!!!!!!

And then we'll get those lovely soft Spring days with blue skies and soft billowy clouds. The Daffodils will be out in full force with their burst of sunshine yellow brightening and lifting our hearts!!!! Oh the promise of things to come.....bliss !!!!!!!

On my last blog I wrote about the roadworks and the chaos it was causing !!! But we were all pleased when last week the contractors came round to all the shops to let us know that they were finished two weeks ahead of schedule and the roads were going to be back to normal for the weekend....hurrah !!!!! How often do you hear of works being finished early ????? Hardly ever !!!!

I hope all you lovely ladies with little ones have had a good Half Term week, at least the weather has been dry, if a little cold, so you could get out and about rather than have them running riot indoors !!!!! I remember those days well.

Tomorrow we have the fab Farmers Market in town, a good opportunity to get lovely local cheese, flour, plants, fish, pies, wooden goods and so much more !!! And if you get cold you can come and warm up in our shop while browsing at all the scrummy new things we've had in........

We've just had our famous Toni Pons shoes delivered !!! And we've added some new styles this year, which are divine!! Our La Badia pumps are due in next week !!!!! Also just delivered and ready for the weekend a wonderful new scarf range for us by Jo Edwards. She is renowned for her exquisite embroidery and use of colour, you just have to come and have a look !!!! And ladies as I said in my last blog you can wear all those lovely Spring clothes you see in the shops, you just have to layer them!!! We're here to help if you're not too sure about how to achieve the look!!!

Laura and I are going to be starting on a big adventure by re-launching our website!!!! Keep an eye open for it as its going to be great !!! Lots of hard work on our part, but fun at the same time!!!

Take care and keep warm

DON'T PANIC, DON'T PANIC.........

And a very apt title to this blog ladies, as there's much to panic about in February!!!!!

Laura and I are doing our best not to panic but we need a little help from you, our lovely customers!!!!!!

Let me tell you why we're trying not to panic and run round like headless chickens ( wish I could insert a pic of one of our Jellycat Matilda hens here!!)

Well for a start it's February and everyone hates February!!! We've managed to get through January and we think yes Spring is finally on it's way!!!! All the lovely Spring clothes are in the shops with their fab colours, gorgeous materials and their sense of fun!!! The Snowdrops are out, the daffodils are poking their heads through and the catkins can be seen on the trees. You're fed up wearing your Winter clothes and can't wait to indulge your cravings for some Spring outfits!! But February has other ideas, believe me it has! Take today for instance, the wind is howling down from the North and it's bitter and there is snow further up the country!!!!!!! But on the brighter side at least the sun is shining, which always cheers everyone up and February is a short month!!! But best of all, you can wear Spring clothes now!! How I hear you ask??? Well I let you into the secret shall I!!! LAYERING!!! And here in Therapy we are experts at it. So come along and let us show you how it can be done!!!

And that brings me on nicely to the other thing that Laura and I are having a major panic about ROADWORKS!!!!!

Now I know a lot of you will have heard word of mouth, from friends, read in the papers and seen the signs for these roadworks in Petworth!!! But it's really not that bad, really it's not!! I don't live in the town and drive in each day and it has not affected me at all. If you're coming to Petworth from Northchapel/Chiddingfold you have nothing to worry about, the roadworks will not affect you at all. If you're coming from Fittleworth/Pulborough it won't affect you until you leave the town and instead of turning left and then left again out of the car park you just have to do a left and a right and follow the one way system and head back out on the road that takes you past ' The Welldiggers' pub!!! Now if you're coming from the Midhurst/Chichester way you do have to take a little detour, but it's not too far!!! And I will say one thing, if you know Grove Lane as a shortcut, don't use it, there are too many cars parked on the sides of the road and it's two way traffic, it takes longer than if you used the road past 'The Welldiggers', which is where the detour takes you!!!! Just don't turn right at the pub! I know the sign says to and the other one says 'Road Closed', but to get into the town centre and the car park, you just go straight on!!! And they've said that the roadworks are going on until February 25th!!!

PLEASE DON'T ABANDON PETWORTH!!!!


Make a day of visiting the town! We have some fabulous eateries now, two delicatessens (which are the talk of Sussex at the moment), four ladies boutiques, a fab menswear shop, a lingerie shop to die for, a book lovers idea of heaven in the bookshop, two butchers, a haberdashery shop, two florists ( one being the renowned 'Spriggs') and of course all the antiques shops which Petworth is known for!!!

So please persevere with us and come and see us for a touch of Spring and a cheery smile.

Take care

SNOW........

Hello Ladies

Hope you are all surviving this cold snowy weather!!!

Well the SALE has gone really well and we have now done the final markdowns, so come and grab those last few bargains!!!!

New stock is arriving thick and fast! Gorgeous colours and prints! Oh and the Cashmere is to die for, though as we only have one in each size of the eight designs we have, they are not hanging about!!!! Our brand new collection for this season from Noa Noa has started to arrive, so if you are not familiar with this make come and have a look at how scrummy it is!!!! And if you do know the brand then get it before we sell out!!!!

With the snow still hanging around our resident 'Pam Ayres', has written us a little poem....

SNOW

The snow for now has gone away,
With reports of more to come.
And so our fears we must alay,
Until we know we have some.


Ice and slush we can do without,
For danger is too close.
No broken bones I hear you shout,
Nor colds and flu to dose.


So let us hope the sun will shine,
And chase away the snows.
Although it's lovely at the time,
We are all delighted when it goes!


She will kill me for putting this on the blog!!! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

So it's nearly the end of January and we would be delighted to see you all, we're still here come rain or shine or snow!!!

Take care

Louise

LATE NIGHT OPENING......

Hello Ladies

Hope you are all well and getting to grips the Christmas Shopping!!!!!!!!

Well it is that time of year. I've worked out that I only have 9 days off until Christmas, and that's not including Sunday 23rd!!! I really ought to get my arse into gear and get on with the present buying! Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and all the buying, wrapping and putting decorations up! But it's coming up with the ideas of what to buy people. The female members of the family are no problem, they're easy and fun to buy for, but my family is dominated by men and boys!!!! Oh hell!!!!!! It's just so hard!!! My husband is a joy to buy for and I always have far too many ideas for him. So I have 14 male members of the family to buy for and only 5 female members of the family!!! I really won't have any hair left this year!!!! So if any of you have got good ideas for teenage/twentysomethings male presents please let me know!!!!

So onto the subject of late night opening....

Petworth does this for one night only! And it is always on the first Saturday in December, so this year it is on Saturday 1st December!!

It is a fantastic day. Yes I didnt type it wrong! The town has special things going on all day.
