Our final "Give Away" from our 1st Blog went to Phil - congratulations - who received a pink hand woven silk cocktail badge and pink mini address book.

And speaking of our hand woven silk badges, I am delighted to announce that we will be adding bumble bees, wood violet flowers and "I love knitting" designs to this collection next month ...and adding wood violet and flamingo designs to the hand bag size mirror range, whilst keeping the ever popular hearts, oxeye daisies and cupcake designs. Just Lush...and perfect little gifts!!!!

CORNWALL 2009

We are just back from a wonderful week in Cornwall, where the weather, company and location were perfect. Feeling very relaxed and ready for Fair Season now.

We never stop working though at Plum & Ivory and our creative juices were flowing whilst we "pretended" to just be walking along beautiful empty beaches, looking out to sea and eating cream teas!? Look out for new ideas and products in the coming months inspired by our late Summer "staycation"...

Haven Breast Cancer Fair East Sheen

We attended a really lovely local fair yesterday and Monday supporting Haven Breast Cancer. It was really well attended and Gill, the organiser, did a great job making stallholders and guests feel really welcome and comfortable. She organises this event every year so if you didnt get a chance to attend this year put it in your diary for October 2010!

Plum& Ivory's best sellers were our ceramic Dinner is Served bells, our gorgeous woollen stripe scarves and the ever popular True Grace scented candles.
