Beachcomber Cottage

Hi Guys,

I am looking to purchase a kit called Beachcomber Cottage by Anchor. It is one of their cottage series which shows a seaside cottage in the middle surrounded by sea life/critters around the outside. There are loads in the series and I have done several of them - farmyard, wildflowers etc, but I want this one to stitch so that I can put it in my bathroom.

Everywhere I have tried says the item is discontinued, they do come up on ebay but I haven't seen one lately? If anyone knows where I can buy one or even get the just the chart I would be very grateful?

Thanks in anticipation :D
Carol

I can't help you with the Anchor kit
But if you can't track it down, I had recently thought of buying this chart.
#264 from the Cricket Collection

Ah, make sure you grab the ".htm" at the end. For some reason it does not get recognized as part of the link. You'll have to copy/paste this one.

For the link Wendy and I provided, you have to copy paste the entire thing. Make sure you grab the .htm. Notice how it is getting cut off? :)

You've seen it on ebay, right? Try doing a search again, but this time save it - then if/when it does come up, you'll be notified by e-mail that it's listed. I don't know where you are located, but don't forget there are different ebay listings for the UK, USA, and several others - I think you can expand your search to worldwide (but don't remember exactly). Good luck - it is a lovely design (I rather like the fisherman's lodge)!

Try contacting these people they might still have it in stock.

The Cloth Shop London Ltd
Uni 12
The Market Hall
Wood Green Shopping City
High Road
London
N22 6YE
020 8888 6000

Your best bet with any kit that has been discontinued is if someone still has one so it is the tiring job of contacting eople.

Good Luck

No sorry we no longer have stocks of that range and they have been discontinued by Anchor. A number of people have approached us recently & are saying they are struggling to find it!
Sorry
