NEW HAND WOVEN SILK BADGES & MIRRORS

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!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO MARTIN

A chocolate coloured heart shaped key ring will be winging its way to Martin after he emailed us the word CHOCOLATE on 18th as part of our new blog promotion.

We have one more gift to GIVE AWAY so put us in your diary for the 25th...

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.

CONGRATULATIONS TO SYLVIA

Sylvia was the first person to email us with the word BUNNY today so will be receiving our gorgeous new lambswool bunny egg cosy cover - no home (or boiled egg) should be without one :-)

How exciting...we've got a blog!

How exciting...we've got a blog!!!...and just in time for the October Newsletter.

For the time being we will continue to send the monthly e-letter out and run the blog alongside as the e-letter tells people about events and new products & special offers only available to subscribers... but if you are reading this online you can simply click on the relevant links on the bottom of the home page to find out more or add yourself to the mailing list.

As this is our first blog and October is full of eventful dates we thought that we would launch our blog with a few treats to celebrate some of these events and encourage a blog readership. So as:

• 4th October is World Animal Day, the first person to email us with the word BUNNY on 4th will get a FREE lambswool bunny egg cosy cover


• 12-18th October is Chocolate week, the first person to email us with the word CHOCOLATE on 18th will get a FREE chocolate brown heart shaped keyring


• the month of October is pink Breast Cancer Awareness month, the first person to email us the word PINK on 25th will get a FREE pink hand embroidered silk cocktail badge and pink mini address book!

Bear with us whilst we get used to this new means of communicating but we look forward to hearing from you with any comments and feedback you have and of course in the usual way we are always happy to help you with ideas, colours and sizes, so please call 020 8392 0632 or email info@plumandivory.co.uk if you would like any further assistance with anything.
