September Newsletter

Well I've finished teaching again! I've been teaching part time for the past 2 years but found that the preparation and marking took over a bit and so I have a new part time job at Blist's Hill Open Air Victorian Museum. It's only two days a week so I have plenty of time to keep up with orders and get everything in the post.

If you've never been to Blist's Hill have a look at their website and come and see me on Fridays or Sundays in the Candle Factory.

Pampered Chef

Last year I also became a Pampered Chef. Pampered Chef is a range of really good quality kitchen and dining products. I host 'shows' and cook a few lovely items which all the guests try out. Guests can order items (prices start at £2.50) and the host recieves free goodies in return for hosting. It's a lot of fun and I really enjoy the shows. I've also been cooking a lot more as some of the items make cooking from scratch much quicker and easier. If you live near Shropshire and would like to host a show just give me a ring. You can view the free goodies offer for October by clicking on October Host Special and October Guest Special.

New Products - Aprons

We have new cotton aprons. They are very good quality and are available in lots of colours. They have a central pocket and can be embroidered with any motif and message along with a name. I've done one for my hubby Wyn and you can see him in the photo, though he made me cut his face. He's ready for a barbecue - if we get some sunshine! Click on Aprons to see the details.

New Teddies - introducing Dermot

We have a brand new dog called Dermot. He looks a bit naughty with his funny ears! He's also modelling the new Tooth Fairy jumper below! To see all our bears and dermot click on Teddies.

New Ideas - Tooth Fairy Teddies

We have new Tooth Fairy Teddies or Buddies which are brilliant for all children but especially boys as they are not like the standard fairy cushions. The jumper is embroidered on the front with the child's name and either teddy or buddy (or whatever you want).

The back has a special pocket made from the same fabric which will hold the tooth.

The fairy will then exchange it for a small coin. The teddy can be placed on the pillow and will be easy for the 'fairy'to find. Click on Tooth Fairy Teddy to see the details.

Improved Website

Drop Down Menus

You will notice that most of the pages on the website have new drop down menus to tell me names, colours etc. Let me know if you find any of them confusing.

Post and Packing

I've also put the p&p prices next to the item prices so customers know what the total will be. If you want more than one item please email and ask for a special p&p price.

Coming Soon

For fans of our blankie bunnies and blankie teddies we have new blankie elephants coming soon. They are grey with a lilac blanket and will be available soon.

So I plan to continue embroidering lovely gifts whilst dressing up as a Victorian and taking part in 'living history' at Blist's Hill and cooking up lots of lovely Pampered Chef recipes. Ring me if you need to chat about any ideas you have - 0789 1288 438
