Just one day to go until our Trend Event at TKMaxx in Thurmaston Leicester.

The tickets have sold brilliantly and we only have a few left. We will invite people in at the door but it might be standing room only, if this is the case we will reduce the cost of entry.

We are having a few dress rehearsals today and everyone has a million and one things to do.

I am getting a little bit nervous about standing up and speaking to 150+ women but sure it will be alright on the night!

The clothes we have choosen for the models from TKMaxx and Outfit are lovely so much so I think many of the models will want to buy them on the evening, including me.

If you have not looked at our new jewellery yet on our website please do so, not all of it is in stock but it’s all there for you to see! Plus some great sale bargains!

Once I have had a chance to upload all the pics from tomorrow please log onto the blog on Monday and they should be there for you to look at.

It’s my turn today and yet again I am wearing one of my favourites which is our black and white Russian Doll set, matching necklace and bracelet.

Really easy to wear and goes with anything.

Black wooden beads of varying sizes with an handpainted black and white Russian doll and trade mark Lello tag. Bracelet £7.00 and necklace £13.00

(My pretty grey scarf is from Inside Out in Keyham, Leicestershire).

This will be one busy week!

We have our Trend Event on at TKMaxx in Thurmaston Leicester on Thursday night from 7.30pm to 10pm. If you are local and have not bought your ticket, please give me a call on 0116 2601004 to buy or reserve your ticket for the night, £7.50.

It is also my daughters 3rd birthday, so trying to plan for that in advance. At her request I have pre-ordered some lovely cup cakes from Templars in Rothley, Leicestershire, they are a customer of ours and sell our Lello jewellery and other products. They have a piano show room upstairs and a lovely cafe selling and making to order their fabulous cakes.

I have ordered their standard iced cup cakes but with a number 3 on them in assorted colours. Can’t wait to see her little face!! Pictured here in our new Aut/Winter photoshoot with her cousin Sophie.

The event I attended yesterday held by the NatWest and Business Link raised £1169.00 for Loros. Lello sponsored the event with goody bags for 120 guests.

As I made my way round the room networking with all the other women, I met Jay from the Leicester Chamber of Commerce who to my delight was wearing one of our Lello necklaces. Camera at the ready I asked her if I could take a picture of her to put on our blog.

I mentioned to Jay that I had just joined the LCC the day before as I am planning to attend more of their networking functions to spread the word about Lello.

Jay is wearing one of our all time best sellers, our Sweetheart glass bead large silver heart necklace.

If you have a fun raising event and would like Lello to sponsor it please email me at karen@lellodesign.co.uk or call me on 0116 2601004 to tell me about it.

It’s that time of year again when we start to think about Christmas and how we are going to afford all those presents.

If you work or if you are a stay at home mum why not think about becoming a Lello Trader?

It’s very easy. You buy a minimum of £75 worth of stock from us here at Lello at the same cost price the retailers do, you then sell it to friends and family at parties, coffee mornings, school fêtes, party planning in other people’s homes.

Our jewellery is very popular and we are actively seeking new Lello Traders.
If you are interested please drop me an email to karen@lellodesign.co.uk or give me a call on 0116 2601004.

This is how easy it is to set up a table of our jewellery in your own home to sell to friends and family.

Our new Autumn / Winter  jewellery has started arriving today. Yippeeee………….

It is arriving in batches and as each line comes into stock it will be become available on the website to both the general public and our trade customers.

Buttons Bracelet

Today Melanie is wearing our New ‘Cranberry’ bracelet. This is a 3 strung plastic bead bracelet based on our first ever range of jewellery from approx 4 years ago.

A red bracelet in this design was very popular when we first launched Lello jewellery, so we have chosen to give it a new lease of life, on trend with this seasons colours. We have also produced a green version, ‘Evergreen’. These two designs add to our most affordable of jewellery as each strung is made using plastic beads. Both designs will retail on our website for £5.99.
