Just hanging around.

Hello,
Todays topic is something guaranteed to put you in your kids good-books...
Their very own hanging chair in their room is a great way to treat them, and a great way to make the room look funky and cool. We have a number of great colours and styles, and if you fancy something to brighten up your little'uns room without cluttering up the floor this may just be the perfect answer.

And if you are unsure, go get your little Mister or Misses and ask what they think!

Cowhides!!

Hello all!

We are glad to say that our long-awaited stock of Cowhides has arrived, and are all now proudly displayed on our site. We've had a lot of people asking about them, so why not go and have a look what all the fuss is about?

Funnily enough, the demand for the Reindeer hides has slowed down a little now...strange that Reindeer hides would be at their most popular over Christmas each year!

But enough of that...


More soon!

Ps. Don't forget to pop on over to Hammock Heaven while you're online for all your hammocky needs!

Aaaargh matey!

I can't work out how many Pieces of Eight the Stowaway hammock costs, but it's not many. If you've always fancied an open rope hammock, now is the time to get one as it's one of our Special Offers!

One of the best things about the Stowaway is that it folds down small and comes with it's own carry bag, so it's perfect for travelling with.

I have a million piratical puns, so I hope you are all appreciating my restraint!
Now go over to Hammock Heaven...or else it'll be the plank for you!

Have a nice evening everyone!

Kind regards
Stuart

Full o' Beans

For those of you lucky enough to have spacious lofts or nice wide living rooms, why not splash out on some real luxury and have the worlds comfiest beanbag hanging from your ceiling?
Le Beanock comes in a few different colours and sizes, so you don't actually have to have a penthouse suite to be able to have one. Luckily.

Go take a look at this and more on Hammock Heaven!

Staycation

We used to have a caravan in our back garden when I was small, and us kids would pretend we were on holiday whenever it was sunny. We'd sit in deck chairs (which was ironic as when we actually did go away anywhere, we'd never sit still) and pretend we were away from the daily grind (of Junior school...)

Judith Wood, writing for the Daily Telegraph, has a similar idea. Holidays abroad can be costly stressful affairs, so for those with money or time issues why not treat yourself to a holiday at home? Judith has a list of luxuries that can give you that relaxing break in the comfort of your own home, and we are pleased to say that our lovely Aruba Cayenne hammock is in there, along with the Apollo stand.

If you'd like to read Judiths article (and it is an entertaining read!) you can follow the link below.

"There can be only one..."

Well, you CAN have more than one rug if you like, we don't mind.

So, did we name our lovely new line of rugs after the worst film ever made, after an area of Scotland, or did we just use a random impressive sounding word?

Answers on a postcard to the usual address. There may be a prize!



You can see more of the Highlander here, along with our other styles.

If you mention Christopher Lambert I might give you 5% your order too.

Hammock in the Headlines

Keep your eyes peeled people...the Aruba Cayenne hammock and Apollo stand will be featured in the Daily Telegraph newspaper this week, so if you want to get an idea of how to spend your summer holidays, look no further.

We've been in quite a few magazines and newspapers, in a few countries, but it's still exciting each time we see it on the shelves, next to all those famous people. We like to think we're at home amongst all those exclusive types...

I would photoshop Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolies heads onto our models bodies to show you what great company we keep, but I think we might get sued. So I won't.

Instead, here's a photo of our Apollo Set...it's the Apollo stand with a Lambada hammock, for those of you who want a subtler colour than the bright stripes found elsewhere.


The Apollo Set has everything you need, no extra ropes or hooks required. And it can be with you tomorrow! Call us on 0208 123 0557 if you like, or visit us at www.hammockheaven.co.uk

Summer, as seen from a hammock

Welcome back to our blog! Today we are going to talk about summer. Summer and ...hammocks. It seems like the world in general is liking the Aruba Cayenne hammock so far this year, and it's a good choice in our opinion. It's rich red in colour with stripes in yellow and dark blue, and all in all lends itself nicely to lazing around in the garden with a glass of wine, watching the world drift by.



Sound tempting? It could be how you spend tomorrow! Give us a call and we'll do the rest.

(Our number is 0208 123 0557. Sorry, wine not included.)

£10 off Black Pashminas

We have £10 off pure cashmere pashminas (without tassels) at the moment on www.mypashmina.co.uk

We describe them as 'mens pashminas', but they are (or course) unisex.

They usually cost £36.50 , but now you can pick one up for just £26.50 ... and dleivery is (as always) free.

Pure Silk Scarves moving fast

These pure silk scarves are made in India, in Varanasi to be precise.

Some might say that the healing power of the ganges has added to their beauty.

There are 27 styles of these wonderful silk scarves in stock and they are moving fast, so if you like them, you should visit www.mypashmina.co.uk today.

The price is either £16.99 or £27.99 which is excellent value.

Products Labeling Act of 1939 with more precise definitions of cashmere and superfine wool.

This is in the US. But pretty sure the standard will be adopted glbally soon.. The new law will not only protect consumers from deceptive labels, but manufacturers also benefit in having clear guidelines to prevent potential violation or product recall by the Federal Trade Commission. All the cashmere and wool products manufactured on or after 1st January, 2007 must comply with the act.

Cashmere was previously defined simply as "hair or fleece from the genuine Cashmere goat". In the latest regulation
additional diameter measurements were set: the mean fiber diameter must be less than 19 microns; the coarse hair (exceeding 30 microns) must be less than 3% by weight of the product; and the coefficient variation of diameter has
to be less than 24%.

So for real cashmere , just visit www.mypashmina.co.uk .

New Silk Scarves on Mypashmina.co.uk

We have some new silk scarves available from today for you to buy.

They are made in Varanasi (India), and they are very nice to look at. Most of them have intricate jacquard weaves, and are woven in a clever way to show different colours from different angles.

Hopefully the picture on the left demonstrates this point.

These silk scarves cost either £16.99 or £27.99 depending on size and are worth a look.

Maoists Look Set to Win Nepali Elections

I'm not sure how a party that takes the name of arguably the biggest mass murderer of the 20th century gets elected. To me it sounds like calling your party the hitlerists or similar.

Anyway, they are likely to take control of Nepal. Hopefully their policy's are not like those of Mao. But I am worried that they are based on his ideas, and them being in power will spell disaster for Nepal.

Cashmere Sale

and the boat neck is only £35 ... there are only 4 left !

Back from Kathmandu

Originally uploaded by ramstorp270

We have just got back from Kathmandu and India. It was a surpise visit for the guys at the factory. We wanted to check everthing was kept up to standard when nobody knew we were coming. It was 100% good.

We also looked at a pashmina factory of a backup supplier, and it was awful. So we have told him that we wont order from him unless he sorts out the conditions.

Other than that, we checked out some of our new 80% Bamboo / 20% Cashmere designs (www.banavata.com) and have lots of new items in this wonderful material due in approximately 6 weeks.

The dyers in Kathmandu are right now busily making 1000 shawls in different colours to chop up and use in our new swatch books. We have carefully selected 118 brand new colours , and will make them available as custom options very soon.

more soon..

This is a problem for all manufacturers and indeed all people with jobs.

"do you know here is electricity cut off 8 haur every day.

no LPG supply ( how to cook or how to colour the pashmina?

No petrolium supply

no transportation" - how can the pashmina business function under these conditions.
