I love those lamps. Are they part of the collection? Not that I'm having a lamp shipped but they are still nice.

I wonder if they'll ship Maynards Wine Gums. If they do I better shut my internet down . . .
PHEW . . they don't. There saves my diet and my wallet.

Heaven help me. This is the best news I have heard all YEAR - this is one expat you've just made very, very happy AT.
And yes, Marks & Sparks undies are by far the best, ( I know many who wait til they travel to the UK to stock up), but don't snooze on their yummy trifles!

I have a friend from HK that seriously misses Marks and Spencer!
and yes, their underwear dept is good - even their private label stuff was super nice!

This post made my day! Not just the story about "Marks & Sparks," but Limeliteshine's comment about Maynard's Wine Gums. My dad is from London and every year when he goes back he comes home with a giant haul of wine gums (and yes, they have to be Maynard's). My kids and I fight each other for them. You can sometimes find them at Cost Plus World Market...but it isn't the same.
Now if we could only have actual M&S stores so we can have access to all their savory delicacies to keep on hand for guests...

Those shipping prices are very reasonable.
