Please say hello to our new stockist GiftsMade4u, which I am very pleased to say is located in my home town of Raunds.

This gorgeous gift shop is packed with so many lovely things - I literally want to buy everything! From bespoke signs and plaques, handmade cushion covers and throws, re-loved furniture (two of my favourites!) clocks and gifts galore you will definitely find something for every occasion. Talking of occasions, our Valentine's Message in a Bottle Kits are now available to buy there too - an ideal alternative to the usual chocolates or flowers ;-)

The shop is run by Caroline Irons. Caroline creates the plaques and signs herself. She is so friendly and welcoming and is clearly very passionate about what she does. 

If you are in the area please make sure you stop in and have a look!

Featured: The Bijou Bride

I was recently delighted to see that my feather place cards were featured on the fabulous wedding blog, Bijou Bride. A wedding fashion, beauty and styling blog run by London based stylist Alexandra Merri.

Alexandra used the place cards for a surprise trip to Mauritius for her husband. They renewed their vows during an ultra romantic ceremony on the beach. You can read all about it on her blog here - along with some useful tips for weddings abroad too.

Love Note in a Bottle Kits - now available at Anthropologie US

The latest edition to the 'message in a bottle' range is now available online at Anthropologie US and in stores (America and Canada)

These Love Note in a Bottle kits are a unique alternative to Valentines Cards. Here are the Anthropologie editors notes-

We simply adore this kit as a gift at a Valentine's Day dinner party, or left as a special surprise in your loved one's coat pocket. Write a message to your sweetheart on the strip of paper, and seal it with a kiss inside the glass bottle.

I love their suggestions on how to use them! Do you have any more suggestions?

There is a good chance these will sell out fast so be sure to order yours soon. Click here to be directed to the item page.

Sepia Smiles - now available at Anthropologie US

So, I have been going on about this 'secret project' for a while now and I can finally reveal what has been going on!

Back in June I was contacted by Anthropologie US via my Etsy Shop (thanks Etsy!) to create something along the lines of my message in a bottle kits for their holidays collection. Of course I was very glad to oblige and went on to custom design some products for them and posted them off. A month or so later they contacting saying that they would love to place orders for my New Years Resolution Kits. I was of course, delighted!
They have since also ordered the Valentines Message in a Bottle Kits I have designed for their Valentines Day capsule so they will also be available to buy soon.

My designs will be sold in 99 of their stores across America and Canada and also on their website too. I shall post a link to the items once they become available to purchase online. 

This really is a dream come true for me as I have always been a huge fan of Anthropologie and I am so thrilled that they chosen my items to stock in their amazing stores - I am so grateful for the opportunity and beyond excited - still!

I shall be blogging about the whole experience and how the heck I managed to pull it all off in the short space of time I had to do it all in. It's all thanks to my amazing family and friends and some excellent expert help too.

Just goes to show it pays not to give up on your dreams - ever!
