Pip Studio

Absolutely loving the new Pip Studio goodies Lily Lemon now has for sale.  The items are gorgeous and so well made.  They include bags, ceramics, stationery, bedding, towels.  I look forward so much to the boxes being delivered and it is so exciting opening them and falling in love with each and every new item.  I am so lucky doing this job !!!  The only problem is I want to keep it all.

So far the products have proved very popular with some of my regular customers and I even had an order for a Pip Studio teapot from New Zealand !

Signing out now will be back soon.

Hangover !!!

Suffering a bit today, too much wine last night with friends whilst enjoying an indian take away.  Why do I do it, it seems like such a good idea at the time and then suddenly it hits you and you feel like poo !!!  Oh well, lots of water and paracetamols and maybe a snooze later to revitalise myself.

Barry, my hubby, is cooking a lovely Sunday roast, smells gorgeous as Im typing this.  Two puddings, Im on a diet, oh my god, how do I say no to such lovely food.  Day off from the diet I think.  Talking of diets its going really well and I have a party at the end of March which I would really like to loose more weight for as I want to look good !!!  Need to impress a few people.  Have to keep going but it is hard and rather boring sometimes and I love my food and wine.

Had a Lily Lemon house party on Friday night which was really successful and met some nice ladies.  I need a few more of these as it is good for advertising my brand.  So if you fancy having a few friends round your house one evening and enjoying a good chit chat with wine and nibbles whilst shopping with Lily Lemon, let me know !

Signing off now to eat my lovely dinner, yum yums !

Take care and see you soon.

Trade Fair

Well peeps, we had a great day at the Trade Fair in Birmingham and found some fab new suppliers.  It was a massive place and we just about walked our feet off, but worth it.  I found a great supplier who is new on the market called PIP STUDIO.  It is very similar to Cath Kidston and Greengate.  I am so excited about it as I think it is gorgeous and should be very popular.  I have placed an order but it won't be on the website for a few weeks yet.  The designer is from Denmark so the stuff has to travel some distance. Have put some pictures on this blog.

I was thinking about putting a video on You Tube showing these gorgeous new goodies - its just that I keep hearing about people who launch themselves via You tube and it seems to work wonders ?  What does anyone think?  Sounds a bit far fetched but Ill try anything that will help my business.

Looking forward now to the weekend, Friday night with friends and wine, Saturday night - has to be decided yet - otherwise jobs to do in house etc.

See you back here soon.

New to this Game !

Well here I am writing my first blog sitting at my kitchen table on a very cold morning, but at least the sun is shining.

Last year I set up a new webshop business called www.lilylemon.co.uk and so far it is going well but I really would love more sales.  I am advertising more this year but that works out to be very expensive and sometimes nothing can come of it  - very frustrating.  I really enjoy what I am doing and am very, very passionate about my products and my goals !  I am off to the Spring Trade Fair at Birmingham on Thursday and really looking forward to it, can't wait to see all the new exciting products on the market.  Just wish I had loads of money to buy in new stock - one day !

Anyway off to have a cup of tea now, will report back soon,

Was that ok for my first blog?
