The Wow Thank You! website went live today. It’s a new e-commerce site promoting the talents of artisan from all over the UK. At launch there are around 1000 products for sale, alot of which are unique on-off items – that’s quite impressive!
“WowThankYou encourages the general public to look beyond the shopping centres and buy unique, home-grown, gifts instead. Promoting the work of 230 small, often home-based, businesses WowThankYou is providing an online outlet for selected artisans who usually sell only through regional craft fairs.”
Less of the bells on her toes though – as I’d just like to let you know that I’ve listed a set of new rings in my shop – rings for your fingers – more to come soon. They are all made from sets of sterling silver teaspoons and therefore come in small limited editions. When you buy one of these rings you will be safe in the knowledge that only a few other rings like it exist.
At last I’ve managed to grab a bit of spare time and figure out how to incorporate my Zibbet shop with my website. So you will now be able to view all the items for sale on this page of my website. I’ve only got a few earrings listed at the moment, but in March I’ll be adding the whole range of products I create.
I’ve been very busy of late, not only creating new stock for existing and new stockists, but also coming up with some new products too. I’ve been working with my sea glass collection of late. I’ve got draws and boxes overflowing with the sea glass I pick up on the beach every day that it was about time I started making jewellery with it.
And onto Part 2 of our Christmas Away. We went to Jordan on an organised trip with Explore. It was Colin’s parents idea and what a marvelous idea it was – scorching weather, fabulous company, delicious food, donkeys, camels and overall an amazing destination. Here are some highlights from the trip – not your usual set of holiday snaps, but then I’m not your usual kind of person…
This is a belated post as I’ve had a horrible start to 2010 and only just picking up the pieces and getting back to my normal routine. It feels odd that I haven’t blogged for so long, but I’ve been ill and so has my computer – I got the dreaded blue screen of death – luckily I found a local IT company who miraculously not only saved all my data and emails which I thought I’d lost, they also brought the computer back to life and made it shiny and new again.
I use www.moo.com for all my Milomade business cards and have just received a discount code from them to pass on to people who are new to Moo. So why not start the year with a whopping 10% discount on some new moo cards – hurry the offer ends on the 31st January. So if you’ve never used Moo before, why not give them a go – their cards are really cool and totally customisable. These are some of the cards you could get:
Well ‘Happy New Year’ to everyone out there! I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I had a great finish to 2009 with great sales at the craft fairs I did in November and December. On Christmas day I was far away from home, riding a camel into the desert – more on that in another post – and I wondered who would be unwrapping their presents in the morning to find something by Milomade within – I hope the gifts brought lots of happiness and joy to the people who received them.
I hope I will start seeing people around Fife wearing my button flower brooches and I wonder who will be sending out thank-you letters in my recycled envelopes as these were a very popular items and sold well at the craft fairs.
I thought I’d just write a quick post to let you know that this Firday is the last Milomade posting date for Christmas – 11th December. So if you want to get your hands on some Milomade goodies, then make sure you purchase them this week. You can purchase Milomade goodies directly from this site, on Coriandr or on Zibbet – the links are all listed below for you…
Afer the 11th December the Milomade shop on this website will be closed. I am removing the ’shopp plugin’ from the site as it’s causing too many problems/conflicts with my blog and the support provided with the plugin is pretty much zilch. So I’m looking for new software that is easier to use and more reliable and will have a new shop up and running as of the new year.
