Every four years, for some arcane reason to do with syncing our calendar with the Earth's revolutions round the sun, we have an extra day in February. This started in 1752, when we apparently 'lost' 11 days from September, when we adopted the Gregorian calendar.
It's one thing to lose the odd day, but to lose an entire chunk of 11 seems blatantly careless. I also have a problem with adding a day to February, which usually rejoices in being the shortest month which is obviously A Good Thing. If we're going to have an extra day, let's have it in the summer rather than the dreary fag-end of winter.
However, since we do have a whole extra day, by dint of dark magic or whatever, it seems only right that I should mark it by doing something a bit out of the ordinary. Which is why, at the stroke of midnight (GMT) on 29 February (this coming Saturday) there will be a muffled *whoosh* and the price of every item on the Tower House Dolls website will be magically reduced, some by up to 50%. Reduced prices will appear right across the site but in a Cinderella-styley, will revert back to normal after 24 hours.
I've been busy on the website for the past week, deleting sold listings, tidying up, and scheduling sale prices for each and every item. It's been a bit of a mission and I may have inadvertently missed the odd one or two but if that's the case I'll be able to see them on Saturday morning and sort them out.
Also on Saturday, Small Dog will be drawing the name of the winner of my Bunting & Bows giveaway, so if you haven't yet done the Like/Comment/Share thing yet, click on the link above.
Good luck!
