As you will see from today we are offering free carriage on everything you purchase from Lello.

There is no particular reason for us doing this, it just seemed like a good idea! and one our customers would like. One of the many changes to our website we are making over the next few weeks.

Lastly we’d like to wish everyone a Happy Halloween!
I shall be sporting my witches costume tomorrow (and Lello Orange jewellery) and doing the rounds in our village knocking on people’s doors with a group of excited under 10s!

Well it didn’t turn out too badly I suppose. Fiona just did her thing and leant against the wall like she always does and it was left to me to laugh at ‘Jamie’ the photographer’s silly jokes.

So we have degrees of laughter from me in hysterics to bending double, with problems with my cardi, my scarf and my ‘top half’. We got there eventually.

In fact I’ll share the joke with you, ‘What did Kylie have for her dinner last night?’ a kebab from Jason’s Don No Van! mmmmm not great but it made me laugh.

This should last us another couple of years I hope.

Fiona & Karen (Lello).

Oh dear my sister Fiona and I are having our picture taken this morning for PR purposes. It”s not really something I look forward to as I never look the way I feel. I guess that goes for many of us. Oh well I’ll try and get him to take as many shots as possible in the hope we get a decent picture.

I must have changed my clothes 10 times this morning and in the end just opted for something very plain. As for which Lello jewellery to wear, I am still undecided.

The last picture we had done was over 2 years ago so we thought it was time we updated it.

Let’s hope we don’t look like we have aged too much in 2 years, maybe he has a soft focus lens he can use!

If it’s not too awful I will upload one of the pictures either later today or tomorrow.

Meanwhile it’s another busy day here at Lello. We are still finalising some of the last minute designs for Spring Summer 2010 and placing our order for our lovely new carrier bags. These will replace the voile bags we have been selling our jewellery in.

Watch this space!

Free Carriage on anything you buy from our website!

Our website is under going many changes over the next few weeks one of which we have decided to put in place is Free Carriage on orders anywhere in the UK.

Over the next few days you will see a little pop up on our home page which will indicate that all orders are now Carriage Free! (direct to the public – anywhere in the UK).

You will also notice that our new look website is much cleaner and concise and easier to navigate.
We hope to start launching some new pages, the first being Novelty jewellery! for all manner of occasions, this will gradually be added to.

Our new SALE page will be full of our latest bargains and just think if there’s no carriage to pay, you just pay the cost of the item.

I’ve gone a bit mad today and snapped a few of us!

Firstly me, I am in brown and wearing an old favourite of ours a long brown beaded necklace on cord with large buttons, wooden shapes and grey beads,’Tribal’ necklace £18.00. On my wrist I have one of our sale (soon to be a purple flash sale item) items a brown glass tubular bracelet with diamanté detail, very pretty and a bargain at only £2.00 later this week.

Melanie is all in grey today and she is wearing our Lydia, green bead and chain necklace, also soon to be a purple flash sale item at £3.50! and matching bracelet Denise, £2.00!

Mel is also wearing our green glass bead sweetheart bracelet, also soon to be a purple flash sale item at £2.00!

Laura is wearing our ever popular Pink miracle bead bracelet, £6.00.

Lastly is my colleague Karen who is very smart today in black, red and white. Karen is wearing our new red and black necklace ‘Saturn’, £12.99 & matching bracelet ‘Mars’, £4.99.

Later this week you will notice some lines coming onto the website with a Purple Flash,
these are end of line jewellery items some for as little as a £1. We don’t have much stock left so if you want to grab yourself some bargains please take a look at the Lello Jewellery on our website.

Here are one or two examples!

Clare – bracelet will be £2.00!

Russian Doll necklace will be £3.00!

I am not usually found writing on our blog at 8am on a Saturday morning, but I thought this morning I’d say to everyone who reads this, if you’re not already a friend of Lello’s on Facebook? please join us. Just type in Lello Direct.

We have found it’s a great way to keep in touch with people and meet all your friends and introduce them to our jewellery.

Look out for some fab sale items coming onto our website towards the end of next week.
A pale pink flash means it’s a new item, a red flash is a sale item and a purple flash is an absolute bargain (new and sale items already loaded). Please note these are ends of lines we are not carrying in the new brochure so if you want one buy it now before they all go! They will make great stocking fillers, teachers presents or just a lovely treat for you!

The Clothes Show Live 4th-9th Dec 2009
Please come to our stand at the Clothes Show in Dec, Hall 19 LX44. If it is anything like last year, it will be manic!!

Well I am pleased to report we had a good turnout to the sale we held today in Oadby, Leicester.  Jelly Rolls kids wear did extremely well so thank you to Hayley for inviting us to join them.

Our jewellery went down well especially all the sale items, we had many mothers buying bracelets for teachers for Christmas!

Thanks to all those who attended and thanks to my little boy Angus, aged 7 who was a fantastic help to me unloading and re-loading my car with bags of jewellery and helped me on and off throughout the day. His treat is a trip to the cinema tonight.

thanks AJ x

Come and join us tomorrow, Friday 23rd, if you are local to Leicester as we have a stall at The Trinity Church Hall in Oadby from 10am to 4pm. (On the A6 behind Multi York on the parade).

As a last note for today, we are all getting rather excited this morning at some of our new Little Lello designs for Spring Summer 2010. I know we haven’t had winter yet but because of the success of the children’s range since its launch at the beginning of this year, we have decided to expand the range even more so for 2010.

As designs go into production we will upload some pictures of what’s to come on our blog.

Karen

Not only was I coughing and sneezing yesterday, driving everyone to distraction, I finally gave in at lunch and went hope to my bed, but I also burnt my toast here at Lello in the morning, it’s a wonder the whole building didn’t go up.

All I’ve heard this morning is how much the place smells of burnt toast, sorry everyone!

Lello will be exhibiting at The Clothes Show Live this Dec at the NEC in Birmingham from 4th -9th.

Please come and see us! We had a great time there last year and we were swamped most days with teenagers and their mums buying our jewellery. We will have some great show offers.
