Bright eyed and bushy tailed?

Mmmm not so sure on a Monday morning.

My colleague Karen has arrived back to work this morning from a 2 week cruise and looks ever so slightly, 'shell shocked' to be back at work. But then I think I would, having landed at 5.30am and back at my desk my 8.45am.

We will take it easy on her today and try to ignore her lovely tan!

Busy busy, getting ready for our Annual Spring Fair at the NEC which starts on Sun 7th Feb. It's a long 5 days at the show and as long as there is no snow to stop the buyers attending like last year (which was awful) we will look forward to it all the more.

For those of you attending from the trade, we are in the gift hall, Hall 4 stand K40.

Hope to upload some more pictures from last weeks photo shoot later today!

Winter is Here!

It is a chilly morning here at Lello. I am sat with my gillet on and big scarf wrapped a few times round my neck, it takes a few days for our building to warm up so Mondays are always a challenge.

We have recently started selling on Amazon which is a whole new ball game for us but the first indications are that it seems to be working. It wasn't something I'd thought of until I realised that I bought quite a lot through them and thought there must be more people like me out there. The prices are the same as on our website but it does open up new possibilities for people finding out about our jewellery.

This week sees the start of The Clothes Show at the NEC in Birmingham, (it begins on Friday) so later today we will start preparing for it. There is a lot to organise, stock, tables, samples and so forth
not mention the organisation of children and husbands!
We are in the Style Show part of the Clothes Show in hall 19, so please come and see us if you are attending.
