Log on tomorrow for our ‘OUTFIT’ fashion find of the week.

My wise words this week are focused on Love, for those we love in our lives and for those we have loved and lost.

A life lived in love will never be dull.
- Leo Buscaglia

The more I think it over, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.  – Vincent van Gogh

Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.  – C. S. Lewis

Log on, on Friday for some new fashion finds from OUTFIT, Thurmaston Leicester. Karen

Today I am very on trend in my vintage look cream blouse with our ever popular ‘Oyster’ glass pearl bracelet £6.99. Made up of three strands of different coloured pearl beads held together with a larger bead and Lello tag. (one of my favourites) and suits women of all ages.

It is not a pleasant morning today, damp and dreary but made slighlty better by having a radiator next my desk.

It is a very quite and peaceful start to a Monday morning for us, catching up with a multitude of emails which have come through over the weekend.
We have a very busy week ahead of us.

Please log on tomorrow for what are we wearing at Lello.

I know this picture is shown on the new style page but I loved these shoes so much I thought they were worthy of going on the blog today.

Fiona is wearing beautiful putty/pink coloured leather pumps with bows, by Miss Selfridge £25.00. I’d love a pair myself!

Thanks to OUTFIT at Thurmaston Leicester for their support!

We are just completing our Valentines and Mother’s Day cards for 2011 at the moment, samples of which will go out to all our sales agents in the next  week or so.

I will be loading my van in a few hours for a big trip to the tip, lucky me! it is becomming a weekly ritual as we get ourselves geared up to move into our new premises, thankfully there are only s stones throw away!.

Log onto tomorrow for our fashion find of the week from ‘OUTFIT’.

If you are local to us in Leicester: please come along to the Autumn Fair at the Sandy Lane Methodist Church in Melton on Saturday between 12 & 4pm. I will have a small Lello stall there, also see Vie and Jamie at Home, cards, gifts teas and cakes plus much more.

I have chosen some wise words today which have come about after I have  answered a number of emails this morning at work, many have derived from my enthusiasm over our new handmade card designs and also come about due to some sad news I have heard from competitors in our business as these are trying times for many.

It has left me feeling the need to inspire people on subject of ‘success and failure’.

“Success doesn’t come to you? you go to it.”Marva Collins’

“Success is a journey, not a destination.” Ben Sweetland

“I believe the greater the handicap, the greater the triumph.” John H. Johnson

“Success is not permanent. The same is also true of failure.” Dell Crossword  (I think this is my favourite today).

So to all of you out there who are succeeding, keep doing what you are doing, to those of you who feel you have failed, learn from it move on and succeed from it after all life is about the journey.

A stumble may just have prevented you from a fall!

Today Fiona is wearing our ‘Pure’ necklace made from antique finish metal round & flat beads with a rounded square bead detail, £13.99. Comes with matching ‘Organic’ bracelet, £8.99. Lovely and simple and goes with anything!

Updating the blog is usually one of the first things I do each day but it has only just dawned on me I haven’t done todays. I have been loading vans full of rubbish to take to the tip, all part of our move to new premises next month. Still much more to do, it feels like it is never ending!

Lots of emails to come into today which I have worked my way through. I have also been finalising some lovely Valentines card designs with Fiona for next year, very pretty!!
