Well, as I'm such a light weight I took today off after my marathon session on QVC yesterday. Thanks to everyone who tuned in and well done if you managed to get yourself a bargain :) :) big thanks for ALL the backstage help I had, also, mum, you're a superstar :) :) Now.... Why am I excited ??? .... 'cause some of my orders from CHA are sitting snuggly in the shop ready to be priced and put out, we're gonna be like whirling dervishes on Saturday getting it all on the shelves. I'm extra excited as we've got a brand new company getting pride of place on our shelves :) :) I feel some stroking coming on..... So if you're passing, pop in and take a peek !!!

It's funny when your body knows "you've just got to get on with it" !!! There's been a few amendments to the QVC shows on Thursday, my times are now, 3PM, 5PM, 6PM, 8PM & 9PM... gosh I'm tired from just typing it !!! seriously you must tune in, like, ALL DAY (well nearly all day) as its a clearance event and boy there are some real bargains to be had, and we all love a bargain. I've been working like a loon since I got back from Chicago, prepping for all the shows, now, if I was a smoker, I wouldn't be able to prep AND smoke, but for some strange reason I CAN prep AND eat !!! It doesn't help that I bought back some Poppycock (no I'm not being rude) it's the most delicious popcorn you ever did eat !!! I think it keeps giving me sugar rushes and I just keep whizzing on LOL !!! Here's a few more picci's from CHA...  Melissa Frances knows how to get you feeling all warm and cosy !!  Well, what can I say.... PRIMA !!! Barb, thi...

Well it's the last day of the show....#sad sad sad face to say we've had a laugh has been an understatement , it's been an absolute blast, and as I've felt a bit let down by shows in the past, I didn't give myself any preconceptions for this one ! But boy, they ALL pulled it off and I've got to say it's been one of the best for ages...... So what trends are we seeing ???? Well, canvas, I'm so pleased to say is big, along with naturals and LOTS of mixed media.... YAY !!! flowers are still MASSIVE and there's so many ways to make them, all the companies are in on them, especially the spiral ones, Including Spellbinders who have released a fabbi die for doing just that!! There's some great vintage lines out there (and soon to be at Sugar and Spice) !! The Smash line is really super (coming soon) !! And some great art journalling Prods!! Dress forms are MASSIVE and birds/cages are still in there :) We've got a few NEW companies joining us. #soexc...

Well .... That's the first day of the show over :( :( Whilst it's quite a small show, there's some fabbi product out there and we've got it coming to YOU!!! I'm really excited about bringing you the TRENDS series of magazines, well, I say magazines quite loosely, really they're books and in my opinion probably the BEST books the U.S has to offer... #excited !!! We're going to have them at a great price and if you subscribe you're going to get an even BETTER price...oh I can't wait for these to arrive!! Here's a few little snippets of show inspiration .... Just for you :) MME go pinwheel crazy... Maya Road shows their creativity on a life size dress form... Jilli Bean Soup's booth.... So much yumminess... A few simple cards from JBS ... Love it !!! Zipper flowers... All the rage, I've taken a video of this being made, I'll try and upload it later, it's not playing ball at the mo :( Oh come on ..... I couldn't NOT show some cupc...

SAVINGS.... Well I'm off tomorrow to Chicago, I would like to point out that it's in the 90's, I mean for goodness sake that is just soooooo HOT !!!! With that in mind I will just HAVE to stay in the shopping malls where the air conditioning will be working it's hardest!!! So, while I'm away, the girls are having a MASSIVE SALE for two days in the shop, yep, this Saturday (16th) & Sunday (17th) there's 25% off everything (just a few exceptions) so go grab yourselves some REAL bargains, even stock up for crimbo pressies !! But it doesn't stop there as Amy Shaw's on QVC on Tuesday at 10.00am with a craft outlet .... Even more bargains. !! So I hope you'll be thinking of me "trudging" around CHA picking out the best stash out there for YOU. I've got a rather large shopping list this year and I'm quietly excited at all the sneak peeks we've been getting. Toot toot !!! I'll be reporting in from CHA with some snapshots.....
