My sister-inlaw sends me your cards for birthday and I love them and will be buying my Christmas cards and greeting cards from you as they are very good value and beautifully designed and worth every penny, love them and can’t choose which ones I want
Beautiful cards. Always stock up every time I come down to St Ives. Which is 3 to 4 times a year. I don’t have any other cards but Whistlefish. And now I’ve just sign up.
