 Mid-Summer Greetings!   

Reason Number 1 to Order NOW

Just as we celebrate July 4 as our day of independence, the French observe the 14th of July, anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, as their independence day.  It is also the start of the traditional summer vacation period, when the French, by law, are allowed to take their month-long vacation. 

Great for the French…not so great for us who try to do business with them during August! Most of our suppliers shut down for the entire month.

So, if you have linen items you would like to order, be aware that orders must be placed by July 23rd for August delivery.  Orders placed later will not be shipped until late September.  

We still have a good selection of items in stock for immediate shipment, and we are adding items weekly.  Dishware is stocked in the US and still available on a two week cycle.

The Dollar and the Euro

Here’s a bit of disturbing news we heard yesterday;”The European Euro is now worth $1.38 and almost certainly headed for $1.40 in the near future”. 

Without going into a political or economic discussion, it means that it will cost more to import European products.  Our suppliers have been trying valiantly to keep from raising prices, but the continued slide of the value of the dollar is undoubtedly going to result in price increases in the upcoming months.  We are dedicated to sourcing authentic European products at reasonable prices. Please act soon to get the best value!


 

In Search Of…

New products and Styles…and Your Suggestions.

 
We will be attending showings of new fall and winter designs from our current suppliers at the mid-summer market next week.  We will pass along our findings and recommendations in our next newsnote.
 
We are also searching for new products and suppliers.  In the fall we will travel to Central Europe to explore traditional products unique to that region. And, in February we plan to attend the Frankfurt housewares exposition.  If you have an interest in types or specific brands of products from anywhere in Europe we’d be happy to know about them and will try to search them out.
 
If you have suggestions, please drop us an email at: info@gallictraditions.com, and we will send you a discount coupon to apply your next purchase. Thanks for your help
