The Christmas cards are finally written and now all that's left to do is put the finishing touches to the presents.  That is one of the nice things about working at Goose Island.  Will it be knitwear for my mum and jewellery for my sisters?   Or would they like the faux fur hats and scarves.

Decisions, decisions!!

Home Sweet Home

 
We’re finally back from our buying trip to the Far East it’s certainly a shock to the system arriving in the UK to sub zero temperatures!!
 
It’s definitely time to pop on some Faux Fur and break out the Knitwear
 
It’s our first day back in the office today and we’re surrounded by beautiful samples for next season’s collection - so watch this space!! The new spring/summer collection is looking fab!

Brrrrrr! It’s 1.5°C here at Gggoose Islanddd

Brrrrrr! It’s 1.5°C here at Gggoose Islanddd. We had a delivery of knitted frill Ponchos this morning and they're almost all sold now so they are all being dispatched tonight – in one door and out the next J
Another good seller at the moment is our Faux Fur collection, so warm and snug. They look luxurious on and at this time of the year they’re so cosy – all the girls in the office tell me. They all have a piece of Goose Island in their wardrobe and love wearing their hats and scarves.

Hi all...
Christmas is coming and the Goose is getting fat….. or at least I am! All these social occasions to attend and dresses to fit in, just what will I do!!! Luckily Goose Island has some great outfits at great prices to suit everyone’s pocket; you must check out our website for the latest deals (www.gooseislandshop.co.uk). We have the perfect little black dress for your social ‘get-togethers’, an ideal addition to everyone’s wardrobe and perfect for all you budding socialites out there.
Hurrah, it’s the 1st of December, which I’m sure many of you girls out there have been waiting for! Today heralds the end of ‘Movember’ and the demise of that awful moustache my man has been sporting! (although it was for a good cause) However, Radio 2 breakfast show presenter Chris Evans is embarking on the next stage, for….wait for it….’DecemBEARD’  Shhh girls, don’t tell the boys or kissing under the mistletoe just won’t be the same!!!!

Tribute to Gary Speed

The world of football is in mourning over the death of the national manager Gary Speed at the age of 42. Goose Island sends its thoughts and prayers to his friends, families and colleagues.

He was a true professional and well liked throughout football. He was an outstanding player with a consistently high performance throughout over 500 premier league appearances and over 80 caps for Wales.

We were all shocked by the news yesterday and would like to praise all of the players and media that did him proud by soldering on through a tough day yesterday.

Another point for the swans was well deserved and I know that he had high hopes for the swans this year and with the Welsh national team coming of age and form we are all devastated by the news.

Gary Speed a true footballing legend!
