Current Update: PUROLATOR, CANPAR, ICS, UPS, FEDEX, GLS, you name it, pick up throughout the day from the workshop. Despite the Canada Post strike, the turned in-side-out cereal boxes filled with your items from Dear Lil' Devas continue their travels to you and the flat-rate shipping costs that you see when you arrive at your shopping cart have not changed.

Rosie here and Christmas 2024 is coming (big smiles to you!). The window of time needed to make from scratch (working solo since 2020 in my workshop in Madoc, Ontario, Canada) and send your lovely orders is now FOUR BUSINESS DAYS - that's a very good turnover :-) I'm thankful to you, dear customers!

Canada Post has always (Dear Lil’ Devas was established in 2003), been my shipping vehicle of choice. I know it's a very small thing, but I will miss my daily visits at the local post office. Canada Post workers, you are appreciated and are in our prayers, that this strike will be over quickly.

Areas affected by the Canada Post strike are the UK, EU and remote destinations within Canada. If you're ordering for delivery there, please email me first to check (rosie@dearlildevas.com).

Antique Damask Linens

This is Rosie here, I came upon this beautiful fabric back in 2018. When I began working with it, I didn't realize what I had. It is pristinely preserved antique fabric.

The old adage "they don't make it like they used to", is positively apt for this astonishing toweling. 

The 60% cotton makes it absorbent, and the 40% linen contributes the "magnetic" liquid pickup.

Sadly, it is finite, not being produced anymore. I won't come upon a cache like this again but I hope to have it in stock for several years to come :-).
