THE LAST LATE NIGHT WEDNESDAY

...just a reminder that we will be open tonight, Wednesday 22nd december, for the last of the four Columbia Road Christmas Wednesday openings. We look forward to seeing you.

This was the scene along Columbia Road last weekend. It really was lovely. I'm only sorry I wasn't quick enough to get a photograph of the man that went down the street on ski's. Yes, really.

THE RYANTOWN CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE, PART 5......£150 +

Sorry there has been a bit of a gap since my last gift guide suggestions, it's been a bit busy here in Ryantown. I'm going to put up a few images over the next day or two of some of the prints we have in Ryantown at the moment. Including this one, 'Every Beat Of My Heart'. A signed and numbered edition of 49, unframed £180 each, framed £280. In the meantime thank you to everyone who came to the shop last night, it was a truly magnificent night for us, and loads of fun too. We will be open as usual at the weekend and then our last late night wednesday opening is on 22nd December.

A reminder that we will be open again tomorrow night, Wednesday 15th as part of the Columbia Road Late Wednesdays. Please stop by for a customary Ryantown christmas vodka shot, perfect for warming you up on these chilly nights.

'Have A Most Happy Xmas, But Only If You Want To... 'BRAND NEW and EXCLUSIVE TO RYANTOWN this weekend are these beautiful hand screen printed Christmas cards. Sold in packs of 6 and priced at £20, these are truly special cards for truly special people.

We will have a gorgeous BRAND NEW LASERCUT in the shop this weekend.
' I MISS BEING A SMALL GIRL' comes packaged in it's own ribbon-wrapped folder. Each lasercut in this edition of 300 is initialed and numbered and costs £80. Like all previous lasercuts this one is sure to fly out, so ummming... and ahhhing... is not advisable.

It was the first of our late night openings last night, and despite the freezing temperatures, the street was lively and the shop comfortably busy. And our glowing paper cut in the window drew quite a crowd. As well as our usual saturday and sunday trading hours, we will be open on Wednesdays between 5pm and 9pm for the next three weeks so if you missed it last night, there is still plenty of opportunity. Columbia Road at night time is really rather lovely.

We are looking forward to our first late night opening tonight, wrap up warm and come and visit us tonight between 5pm and 9pm. And over the next few weeks anyone coming into the shop will have their purchases ensconced in one of our lovely new christmas carrier bags.
