Wow I can’t believe Christmas is nearly upon us, last bit of shopping done, tree and decorations are up (though I only put up a quarter of what I usually would – I felt like keeps things simple this year), we are busy busy here at Lello with one particularly large project on for one of our high street customers and finishing off the last of our new card ranges to dispatch out to all our sales agents before Christmas.

It has been quite an undertaking to get 6 new card ranges on board for 2011 but we are 98% there and aim to hit the ground running in January!

We are scheduling 1 or 2 jewellery deliveries which I have my fingers crossed will arrive just before Christmas, hopefully at the end of next week. Designs such as our best selling Roma bracelet and Alice necklace, pretty pink glass pearl Carnation bracelet and a new set of children’s bracelets, Begonia, Orchid, Anemone, Black Olive to name a few. At least it keeps us busy and all set for the new year.

Log on tomorrow, for ‘What are we wearing at Lello today’. Karen

I am only in for a few hours this morning as the Winter sickness bug has taken hold of another of my children and he needs his mummy this afternoon!

So today I think I need some words to help us all who have Winter colds or flu or poorly children! as there is nothing worse than looking after a poorly child when you feel pretty awful yourself!

There were so many great quotes to choose from this morning I didn’t know where to start. The last one is my favourite.

I am sure we will all feel better tomorrow! Karen
