Welcome to our March edition of The Lancaster Company newsletter where this month we are celebrating our decorative Springtime items, our much-loved vintage Welsh blankets and the perfect pieces for your Mother’s Day lunch.
Spring has arrived and along with it comes our fantastic new decorative items!
Although the cold and dark days that Winter brings can certainly feel endless, at last, Spring has arrived bringing with it some very welcome milder weather, lighter mornings and evenings, and wildlife emerging from a long rest. But mostly we love this time of year as everything is starting to bloom again and we can once again put those vases to good use!
Fortunately, we have various items on our website to fill your home with a splash of Springtime colour. A couple of our favourite picks are our very popular and quirkong with this colourful th of which will add colour and fun to your home and are perfect for holding a pretty bunch of tulips or daffodils. See our range of decorative items here.
St David’s Day – Celebrating Welsh Blankets
We are also celebrating St David’s Day this month and so we thought it a great opportunity to give our fabulous Welsh blankets a mention! Not only are they eye-catchingly beautiful and incredibly hard-wearing (hence you can buy them as vintage); they were also traditionally representative of one’s family and were often given as wedding gifts. This was because of the strong ties between family-run woollen mills and the blankets durability, which symbolised a stable family life and subsequently the blankets became a treasured family heirloom.
Our collection of vintage Mid Century Welsh blankets were mainly produced at a time when the tourist industry was booming in Wales, yet still to this day these fabulous throws are still gaining more and more popularity and make very thoughtful and meaningful gifts if you ask us! See our collection of vintage Welsh blankets available here.

Mother’s Day is also just around the corner on the 19th March and what better way to show appreciation for Mothers than to host a Mother’s Day lunch? We have just the items available to put on a spectacular spread including our lovely cutlery and glassware range.
