Just checking all my emails before I go and help with making up the last few card samples, it’s all hands to the pump this morning.
I’d like to share with you my re-discovery of Aloe Vera juice.
If you are feeling a bit low and tired or rundown, get yourself some Aloe Vera juice to restore your sense of well being. It’s not the first time I have used it and now I am back on my little measure a day I shall be sticking to it.

My wise words/quotes for today are all about disappointment. We all suffer from disappointment through work, life, friends, love……
“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” Martin Luther King
“Suspense is worse than disappointment.” Robert Burns
“The pleasure of expecting enjoyment is often greater than that of obtaining it, and the completion of almost every wish is found a disappointment” Samuel Johnson
“The prompter the refusal, the less the disappointment” Publilius Syrus (Roman Author 1st century BC).

I left my trusty camera at home today so I have had to use my flip film camera, which I really haven’t utilised yet for our blog updates. I am a bit camera shy which is why I just stood still!!!
I am wearing our black gross grain ribbon corsage ‘Realm’ £4.99 and my black glass pearl earrings, £5.00. (Just click on the Video 11 link)

It’s a chilly morning but it’s so lovely to see the sun shining through my office window.
Feeling a bit weary after the weekend, lets face it housework has that affect on us all!!
Lots on here at Lello this morning, with the next set of our new handmade cards underway to send to our agents, it’s nice to see it all coming together.
Plans are starting to take shape for our Fashion Show we are holiding at ‘OUTFIT’ at Thurmaston on Mon 29th Nov. If you would like a ticket please give me a call on 0116 2601004 or email me at karen@lellodesign.co.uk
Tickets cost £5.00. Also available ‘instore’ at OUTFIT.
Log on tomorrow for what are we wearing at Lello today.
Finally back with our Friday fashion find from Outfit this week.
I had planned to take a picture of these lovely little black ‘PU’ leather look shorts at Outfit but I liked them so much I had to buy a pair a couple of days ago.
The shorts are quite short but not too short, fitted round the waist but slightly flaired, £34.00 from Topshop.
For the first time in a very long time I actually asked my husband if I looked ok in them this morning, he loved them. Great with black tights, shoes or boots. My bracelet I have on is one of my Lello favourites made from antique flat metal beads in 3 strands (quite weightly) the bracelet is called Meteor and costs £9.99.
Not a pleasant start to the day with all this rain. But at least we are snug and warm in our new building. Lots on today, most of it paperwork and orders and speaking to distributors in other countries.
Our new age cards are almost complete to send out to our sales agents, just a few to do and they will be off in tonight’s post. Lots of customers seem to have found our new premises; to those of you trade customers out there we offer a ‘cash and carry’ service (by appointment) so you can come and visit us in Leicester and take your jewellery order away with you. email me for more info at; karen@lellodesign.co.uk
below are our new women’s and men’s age card designs,
For a change I thought I’d leave you a few quotes on the subject of ‘men’ today. But I must admit I found it very difficult to find something nice to say? and it’s not for any other reason than I couldn’t find anything….
All men are not slimy warthogs. Some men are silly giraffes, some woebegone puppies, some insecure frogs. But if one is not careful, those slimy warthogs can ruin it for all the others. ~Cynthia Heimel
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then. ~Katharine Hepburn
If it can’t be fixed by duct tape or WD-40, it’s a female problem. ~Jason Love
Women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speech by something outside himself – like, for instance, he can’t find any clean socks. ~Jean Kerr, The Snake Has All the Lines, 1960
The average man is more interested in a woman who is interested in him than he is in a woman with beautiful legs. ~Marlene Dietrich
I won’t go on as many of them are very rude and I didn’t think that was appropriate for a Wed morning, sorry to all those men out there these are the nicest quotes I could find!
My favourite is the one about the socks…… so true!
Today I am wearing our ‘glass pearl classic’ bracelet £8.50 and metal heart charm bracelet ‘Tock’ £7.99.
What are we up to today? finishing off our new men’s age range of handmade cards. Organising the airfrieght on a couple of jewellery orders which are due in, week commencing 22nd November. Many of the ‘out of stock’ lines on the website will come back in to stock for Christmas.
We are also drumming up interest in our forthcoming Fashion Show which will be held at ‘Outfit’ in Thurmaston Leicester on Mon 29th Novemeber. Tickets available next week from Lello or at ‘Outfit’ £5.00.
For more information please email me at karen@lellodesign.couk
I have come into 2 drips this morning from a leaky roof at our new warehouse. Nothing to get upset about though having had past experience of full blown floods, this is nothing a few buckets can’t fix. Nothing damaged.
Working on some lovely new age cards,
when our Midlands agent popped by on Friday she insisted on waiting while we we finished off her sample set so she could take them her away with her.
Oooooo it’s nice to be designing some new cards and even nicer that people like them, it will be a while before they are loaded onto our website.
Hoping our carpet here at the new building will be fitted this week in reception and on the stairs so we can at last get the place finished off and everything in it’s place.
Log on tomorrow for ‘what are we wearing at Lello today’. Karen

Busily working up new card samples to send to our export customers today, there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in each day at the moment.
Being in our new building has re-energised us all it’s amazing what a bit of daylight out of a window does for the soul. New brooches go online later today! Karen
