Although I like to be a positive person, no one can ignore the civil unrest around the country at the moment, hence today’s wise quotes on mankind:

Man is harder than rock and more fragile than an egg. ~Yugoslav Proverb

The true man walks the earth as the stars walk the heavens, grandly obedient to those laws which are implanted in his nature. ~Lemuel K. Washburn, Is The Bible Worth Reading And Other Essays, 1911

In nature a repulsive caterpillar turns into a lovely butterfly. But with humans it is the other way around: a lovely butterfly turns into a repulsive caterpillar. ~Anton Chekhov

Modern man is the missing link between apes and human beings. ~Author Unknown

Such is the human race, often it seems a pity that Noah… didn’t miss the boat. ~Mark Twain

What are we up to at Lello today?
Making jewellery samples, we have one of our sales agents popping in & organising a sale we will be holding locally of our jewellery at the end of August, more news in a few days!

Today I am wearing our ‘Disco’ bracelet. Made from black and transparant black beads with little silver fibres inside (hence the name disco) it goes well with my black and white outfit today. It is a lovely chunky bracelet and comes with long matching necklace ‘Glitter’.
Bracelet £6.99, necklace £13.99 great all year round.

Having taken Friday off I am back to it today answering a mountain of emails, it was supposed to a Friday spent taking my children somewhere nice but it truned out to be a day at home nursing my 4 year old who had been poorly all week… oh well I am sure we will make up for it. 

We are making up new card samples to begin getting ready for our sales agents. Something new for them to show our customers. Fiona is joined at the hip with her Mac! designing full pelt. Our attentions are rapidly turning to our new Aut/Wint brochure which will be started in the next few days and we await news on our new jewellery lines which are due in stock for September.

Lots on! and I can’t help feeling it’s already winter here at Lello as we discuss Spring ranges which are already few months behind for us at Lello.

Back tomorrow with ‘what are we wearing at Lello’
If you are local to us in Leicester please keep an eye out for some of our up and coming ‘jewellery sales’ we plan to hold at local venues! bargains galore!!

Warm but drizzely is today’s forecast, not pleasant.

I have snapped a picture of Fiona this morning wearing what we call, CLNSilver. A short’ish metal ball bead necklace with an antique silver finish which sits nicely in the neckline. A firm Lello favourite with us and with our trade customers. £15.00. Our ‘Alexa’ bracelet matches beautifully. Great for everyday or evening……….back tomorrow.

My wise words/quotes for today are about daughters. My little 4 year old isn’t very well today but thankfully as my husband works from home he is able to look after her today. I can see myself dashing home at lunchtime to give her cuddle!

To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter. ~Euripides

Watching your daughter being collected by her date feels like handing over a million dollar Stradivarius to a gorilla. ~Jim Bishop

A daughter may outgrow your lap, but she will never outgrow your heart. ~Author Unknown

A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the future. ~Author Unknown

A daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer. ~Author Unknown

Clever father, clever daughter; clever mother, clever son. ~Russian Proverb

As I have one of each, I like the last quote best of all!

Lello today? designing new stickers to be put on all our lovely albums with the Lello log on. Designing a new label/sticker to go on all new lines of jewellery. Designing cards and lots more!!

It’s a warm one today!

Today I am wearing our acrylic pink flower bracelet ‘Bud’, also comes in cream/white, ‘Haze’ and grey, ‘Pumice’, all three are lovely summery and lightweight to wear. £6.99

It is very peaceful indeed here this morning at Lello. We all have our heads down, mine in paperwork, Fiona’s in the last few designs of a new range of cards. Lots to do this week with a visit to London as well, completion of card designs and the begining of a couple of new projects.

Our jewellery Sale is on until the end of August, while stocks last!!

Back tomorrow with what are we wearing at Lello today.
