New stock, yippee (+ my efforts last night!)

Yesterday was an exciting day when my stock of picture frames arrived! I think the delivery man thought I was slightly mad, I couldn't contain my excitement!! It was like Christmas unpacking my two boxes of goodies. I am so pleased with them and need to send a special thank you email to the suppliers who have just been so wonderful and helpful.



I dashed home last night with one box safely in my clutches with the aim to make some gorgeous things to fill my fab new frames with. But alas there were more important things to do like a personalised mini motor card order from notonthehighstreet.com. I also had to make 35 discount vouchers for goody bags (organised by ShopHandmadeUK) which are to be handed out at a womens confidence coaching workshop.

Jim Jam Sandwich gets mentioned

Very excited to have a picture of my new Cherry Cup Cake brooch on ShopHandmadeUK's blog alongside lots of other great new designers. They've just reached 1000 designers listed on their directory. So far I've had lots of interaction with them including putting products forward for PR opportunities and a sample box proposal. As a small business trying to expand it, its fantastic to get these chances to be seen and heard more, thank you ShopHandmadeUK!

Shop Handmade UK

I've recently joined this great website called Shop Handmade UK which is the UK's largest directory of artists, designers and makers of quality hand made goods. Its a really wonderful website to source lovely unique gifts from and also nice to support small businesses and designers in the UK at the same time. I'm listed under cards/stationery so come and have look.

They also do features on designers and I particularly love Yunisacs who was featured in April. Such beautiful purses. I want one of these, her large Tea Garden purse!
