The Rusty Crab has just had another amazing delivery from KUMU! These designs are outstanding, so we've just stocked up on three more patterns to compliment our other four. We've had 3 deliveries in 2 weeks so this small independent from Shropshire is getting some serious support from Cumbria, where we are the only stockist! £29 includes a great quality keyring of your choice!

Last week The Rusty Crab was hunting for new suppliers, and wow did we find some cracking new brands! As soon as I saw KUMU I wanted them immediately in my shop, and we were fully stocked-up 4 days later! This is a really small independent company based in Shropshire, and we are now the only stockist in Cumbria! These designs are amazing!!! They are £29 for the t-shirt and keyring, and as of last Friday we were one of only two designated clothing shops stocking them in the UK!

Sizes small to 4xl in the Robin, Kingfisher, Dragonfly and Owl and the quality is amazing!

The Rusty Crab crab has 2 x Small, 1 x Medium, 1 x XXL and 1 x 3XL left in stock in case anyone would like one ahead of the game! £34.50 each. We're open Tuesday - Saturday 09.30 to 4.30, but this Saturday we're closing at 2pm so we can enjoy a bit of Maryport Carnival!

Herdy and I have been instructed by Michelle at The Three Frogs Maryport to take a few days off and enjoy some lake walks & some local beers! We'll be closed as normal Sunday and Monday and then we'll also be closed Tuesday and Wednesday this week, opening back up as normal from Thursday. If you require anything before then, please pop into The Three Frogs and Michelle will assist. Enjoy the sun, and see you in a few days!

"Hey up Edd, I need your help. I've just got 'done' by Liz for attempting to go out in my fleece when it's 23°C outside. What's she want me to wear....lycra shorts and a crop top?!"
"Hey up Pete, don't you worry, The The Rusty Crab has you covered, did she mention what she wants you to wear?"
"No idea mate, she shouted something like 'Lemon' at me from the door, but she had half a croissant in her grid at the time?"
"I think she meant 'Linen' Pete, and have we got linens! We've just had a fantastic delivery from Spain of the Custi Mikelo long sleeve shirts, but roll up the cuffs and you'll look as suave as a Penguin holding a pint of Hawkstones lager in the Captain Nelson Tavern beer garden! We've even got their linen trousers so you can go double-linen out there. We've also got their Custi Mikelo long sleeve linen t-shirt for something a bit more casual and Claudio Lugli short sleeve linen shirts with cracking sleeve detail!"
"Cheers Edd, you really are a hero, with a cool beard and I hope you don't mind me saying but you're looking rather slim today"
"Cheers Pete"

I just thought I'd chill out in the garden, and this is where I learnt Herdy was warm.....apparently I pander too much to him....don't know what they're talking about!
