The only way I keep track of my days is by writing lists and keeping notes. I haven’t got round to doing this on my phone yet as I like to see things on paper, I like the idea of crossing things off and being able to refer back to them.

Today’s list is quite long and I am getting on with it until my visitor arrives  to discuss Lello’s sales in the south of England.

Kettle boiled and chocolate biscuits at the ready!
The note books I usually buy are by Ryland Peters and Small, I just love them, www.rylandpeters.com  I have been buying them for over 10 years now and even have a back catalogue of used old ones, one I used back in 2001 contains all my wedding details, material samples and ideas, a lovely keepsake.
My latest one I bought last weekend at a lovely little interiors and gift shop on Mill Street in Oakham (the name escapes me but it is opposite Elizabeth Stanhope), if you like stationery have a look at the website attached. They also make great presents!

It’s not usual for me to sell Lello to everyshop I encounter but I happened to mention to the owner that she might like to look at our Lello site as our cards, albums and jewellery would sit well in her shop.

‘Lello’ she said, I know that name, I bought a chenille baby blanket from Lello at the Burghley Show about 5 years ago! ‘I still have it’.

Yes I said, that’s me! so she noted down our website with interest, it’s a small world…….
