What do your business cards say about you? Creative Ideas

Behind the scenes, the website is having a makeover. Well it’s probably more like it’s gone under the surgeon’s knife and is having full body cosmetic surgery. The website guys showed us a few pages of the new site last week. To say the new site is looking good is and understatement – it’s looking mega.  We’re hoping that the new website will be ready mid-end February.

I’ve been thinking of new business cards to compliment all this newness. Take a look at these creative beauties that have inspired us…

Happy New Year to all

Our Pop Up Shop twinkles at night

Have you visited our little pop up shop at Spinningfields, Manchester? It’s a pretty little place when it goes dark and the fairy lights come on.

We are open until 6pm Monday to Friday and also on Saturday & Sunday 11-5. It’s flown by since our opening day and because it’s a Christmas shop, we will only be there until 22nd December 2011. Come ‘pop in’ and say hi

The Tree IS UP

We promised a 3 year old that we would put the Christmas tree up on Sunday after the family viewing of Elf.

Gingerbread scents burning, Elf on, warm mince pies and cinnamon cream.  The 3 year old was very giddy to be finally putting her tree up. The bad news was that our tree lights were not working so we had to leave the tree until the next day.

If you have ever tried to reason or explain anything to a 3 year old you will understand this.

Lesson learned: don’t make promises you can not keep.

The tree is up one day later than expected. But my doesn’t it look cosy

Busy is not the word! Last week we moved house & opened a pop up shop in Manchester.

The shop looks fab and we’re very happy to be in the City Centre.

Alongside the oh so fabulous Hey Little Cupcake, Glamourised, Sno Queens and the Oast House. We’re practically neighbours with all the powsh shops on The Avenue. How fabulous. The Avenue looks really fab at night and we’ll post some snaps soon.

We’ve put everything into opening the shop at what is a really busy time and we really hope that it’s going to be a success for us.
