CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS |
| Catherineshinn.com
has been trading since the 1980's. Under the name 'Decorative Textiles'
the company was founded by Catherine Shinn as an antique textile shop in
Cheltenham, England. |
|
|
|
We
stock all manner of antique textiles and if you are interested the photograph
of the shop window at night will give you some idea of the range.
|
We have since branched out
into traditional hand blown glass Christmas decorations which at first
were sold only in the shop in limited numbers, then by mail order and
now, as the demand has increased, over the Internet as catherineshinn.com
|
During
our time in business we have been featured in various magazines, newspapers
and television programs.
(Below is a list of articles etc. we have been able to remember
