Good evening 😀

A quick note to advise that we will be closing tomorrow evening (6th February) @ 5.00 pm for an extended break, returning on Tuesday 10th March. After a very challenging and emotional few months, Martin and I were delighted to get the go ahead last week to take this 2 years in the planning holiday - the best opportunity to really recharge our batteries (one proviso - Martin needs to recover from a very bad dose of flu that has hit for the past 10 days🥲)

I will now have a few days to clear up any lose ends - not knowing whether the holiday would happen means my list is rather long. Any orders placed up to 5.00 pm tomorrow will be attended to and if we are unable to process prior to the holiday, we will advise.

Thank you everyone for your continued support, it really is appreciated.

Good morning everyone!

For anyone who pre-ordered the new publication from Mika Toyoda (Bobbin Lace Patterns - Selection 1), these have all now been sent so you should receive soon if the parcel hasn't already popped through your letter box. We have certainly kept the Royal Mail busy!!

If you think you pre-ordered but did not receive an invoice, please now order via the website - there were a few where I did not receive email addresses or invoices were not paid (perhaps now sitting in you junk box).

Here is the link to order this fabulous folder of patterns - lots of favorites from books now out of print. And yes, there will be a Selection 2 - hopefully later this year.

Attention! Mika Toyoda's new book has arrived - please read below if you have pre-ordred!

The first batch of books have arrived and I will start to send out the invoices for pre-orders. This will take some time due to the number. A couple of points at this stage:
* Invoices will be sent in order of receipt for the request for a pre-order. There are a lot of pre-orders so this will take time
Invoices will be sent via Xero - payment may be made by card or PayPal
* More books are on their way but will come via a slower method and therefore you may not receive an invoice for a while
* If you wish to add to your order, please reply to the invoice email and i will add items on before you pay
* If you are waiting for the books from Kumiko too, these have not arrived yet
* The confirmed price for the book is £31.95.
* A reminder that this publication contains favourite and much requested patterns that have been published before - see original post below and check that you do not have the books already
Please direct any questions to pam@roseground.com - commenting has been turned off

Coming soon! "Bobbin Lace Patterns - Selection 1" by the fabulous lacemaker and designer, Mika Toyoda

This is exciting news - a collection of some of the early festive themed favourites (including the much asked for Christmas tree!) designed by Mika Toyoda and were included in books now out of print. Designs have been chosen from Binche Lace, Christmas Ornaments and Christmas & Winter.

My order is now with Mika and the first batch of books will be dispatached from Japan early January.

Comment below or email me (pam@roseground.com) if you wish to be added to the pre-order list. I anticipate the price to be between £30 - £35.00. The format will be the same as recent publications.

Calling Binche lace lovers! New book alert!

Just arrived from Japan and earlier than we had originally thought. Perfect timing for a last minute Christmas present maybe?

Well, that is a wrap for lace fairs and days for 2025 – a what a fabulous fair we had to end on. I am so pleased that I managed to be there with the help on the day from the fabulous friends Claire Bonto Bonitocrafts, Sally Smiddy Lace & Sparkle Bobbin Lace and Pauline James plus so much encouragement and support from my dear family and friends. It has been an unbelievably tough and emotional end to the year but I am so pleased that I made it to the Mainly Lace Christmas Fair in Birmingham yesterday.

What a day it was! A huge thank you to everyone who visited the fair. I apologise now if I missed saying hello to anyone visiting our stand. It was certainly non-stop and such an unbelievably wonderful day full of laughter. A huge well done to Mark and Barbara from Mainly Lace Events for organising such a fabulous fair.

And wow, what love we received from all our fellow suppliers and from so many customers. This afternoon we opened the cards that Martin had been given and we were both so overwhelmed. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And the icing on the cake – we won the "best Christmas themed stall" Festive bunting and lace stars loving made by Mrs Roseground the 1st (aka mum), sparkly lights, Elves on the Shelf up to mischief and to complete the festive picture, the Roseground team were dressed in festive jumpers and sparkling Rudolph antlers!! If we could have had Christmas songs blaring out I think we would have done!! Thank you to all who voted! Plans in place for next year's theme already!

Now, I realised too late that none of us had actually taken any photos of the finished stall – oops! We were super busy before we knew it and then …….well, photos didn’t happen. Thanks Dee for managing to lift some from your video!

See you all in 2026! Back to catching up with mail orders now - online and telephone orders continue 😀🥰
