December and the festive season

We are almost at the last month of the year and getting ready for December and the festive season.  We have so many wonderful things to help you celebrate. Our gold baskets is just the total bling needed be bright and sparkly. There are so many markets coming up with all our range of table wares to make the perfect festive gathering.  Visit us at one the markets to see our lovely tablecloths  –  see all the details for the markets below. We are super excited to be back at the Wahroonga Village fair this year and will have a few treats on offer for our lovely clients.

Big News

It is with an equal measure of excitement and sadness that we announce that next year we are moving to France.  We are following our hearts and are fulfilling a long held dream to live permanently in France and our gorgeous little home @la_grange__drome. We will also be much closer to our son in the UK.

We have been busy with 2 duck trading for over 16 years – which has lead to the most amazing friendships, exciting travels and wonderful connections with our stockists, suppliers and customers. Running a small business is the most varied work, that truly means that no two days are the same. While we won’t miss waiting for containers of baskets, or getting up early for markets,  we will miss the warm and special relationships we have made with all of our customers. We have been so grateful for your support of 2 duck and our wonderful baskets.  
For now we are still selling all our current stock until March when we will  say adieu to Australia and bonjour to France.  We still do love our baskets and will look at ways we can operate in France. Stay tuned.

Baskets of the Month

We just can’t go past some glitter for the festivities, get our full gold basket to celebrate over the summer! Our gold basket is completely covered in gold sequins and has the handy double strap carrying options for a perfect day out. See this basket and more over on the shop  https://2ducktrading.com.au/product/gold-basket/   Remember we have free shipping until 19th December.

Wholesales

We are still sending out wholesales orders every week so don’t delay as the delivery cut off dates will start in early December.  We will be open in early January for top up orders too.  As soon as the delivery services open again we can re stock you for the summer.  To make your first order contact us via the contact form https://2ducktrading.com.au/contact-2duck/
