Every year we have a deadline for Christmas orders from our Springwater line. If you want something we don’t have in stock, or you want a different colour, it must be ordered by the deadline date in order to ensure that it arrives in time for Christmas. Because of the incredibly high demand right now, the Springwater factory has tremendously long wait times. Therefore, this year’s deadline date is going to be labour day. Our last Springwater shipment for the year will arrive in October, anything ordered prior to labour day will be included in that order. Anything ordered after labour day will not arrive until early 2022.
I know no one wants to think about Christmas right now, but given the continued covid production and shipping delays, this is the last chance to get your orders in for the holiday season.

The most exciting new arrival this past week was a huge batch of replica metal signs. There are a couple of photos below of some of the new ones, but there are lots more in store. During the second lockdown we started noticing a bunch of covid signs on the market. But most of them weren’t very good, so we found some terrific ones that were only available in Europe and brought them to Canada. In addition, many of the new signs we designed ourselves, and will be exclusive to The Barn. Plus, we restocked all the signs that we had previously sold out. We basically have all the signs now.

A huge batch of what we think are terrific replica tin signs will be arriving this week. We are biased because we designed many of them ourselves, during the second lockdown. It was a fun lockdown project. Many of the new signs will be exclusive to The Barn. We will include some photos in next week’s update, once we get them unpacked and out on display.
