Back to school
Well the day finally had to come…my little man went off to school for the first time. He looked like Just William in long grey shorts and clunky black shoes with the sand scrubbed away from between his toes. The only tears were mine of course, pathetically hidden behind enormous Jackie O glasses on a particualry dull September monring. Still, The Punk loved it all and rushed out grinning, a delicious whirl of keen boyness. The Pixie started a new school school too and was very demure and sensible about it all. She’s been persuaded to join choir and cooking club…..nothing we said was going to persuade her but then she discovered how many of her little friends had already joined up. One oughtn’t to vicariously live through one’s children but I am horribly pushy when it comes to joining clubs – “We didn’t have anything like this when I was at school…blah blah blah….”. She’ll thank me one day.
Getting them back to school has allowed time to get back to work, thank goodness. The site is spruced up for autumn winter, new stock photographed and uploaded and all the work nicely rewarded with a very satisfying flurry of orders. It’s amazing how quickly we all go ‘Back to School’ at the start of September – they say that mentally, it’s more of a ‘New Year’ for many of us than January 1st. We never escape that new shoes feeling and can’t help feeling ready for winter boots and coats well before the temperatures drop sufficiently.
So far the bestsellers in the autumn winter collection have been the Molo Babushka range ( a truly stunning print) and the new Katvig ribbed cottonwear. Check out the simple A line dresses in blue, pink or green. http://www.peterandjanestore.com/katvig-cotton-rib-dress-in-green-6947-p.asp
