Hi All,

Well, Christmas certainly is just around the corner. We’re slightly manic at AMHQ. Not helped by all this trouble with cyber-attacks on Visa and Mastercard, but we’re pressing on. Don’t worry too much if you have a problem using your card. I think the system is just slowed down, so maybe leave it a while and try again later.

All of our Trunk Shows went brilliantly, and the 12 days of Christmas has been such fun! All 8 of the ‘Maids-a-Milking’ style sold out in under 40 minutes!

I had a nice message from someone who sadly missed out, so instead she’s using the image as her screen-saver!

And oh yes, here’s a little reminder of the last of our Christmas sales; Primrose Hill Designer Sale, Saturday 11th December, St Mary the Virgin Church, Elsworthy Road, Primrose Hill. London NW3. 10 ’till 6.

Anyway, here’s my top idea for a Christmas pressie. If you like our cute little bee, how about giving the gift of membership for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust? Kate Humble (Kate Yumble more like!!) loves them too, and even demi-god David Attenborough supports them. Very easy to gift, and you get this fab poster, which I for one will be pinning on the wall of my studio as soon as it arrives!

How cool is that?  I don’t know, maybe it’s not for everyone but I think it’s a really nice thing to do for Christmas. Go on, you know you love ‘em!

What with a certain day looming on the horizon, we’re in overload here; trunk shows, studio sales, and Christmas fairs. We have Ede and Ravenscroft in Chancery Lane on 2nd December, and also Sefton in Upper street. Lots of special one-offs there.

LIBERTY CHRISTMAS TRUNK SHOW! On Friday 3rd we’re back in Liberty (and all week-end)

And then of course we have our CHRISTMAS STUDIO SALE starting on Friday night! We’re open at our Studios here in Iliffe Yard, London SE17 from 6-9pm on Friday 3rd. 11-5 on the 4th, and 11-4 on Sunday the 5th. (off Amelia Street and Crampton Street). We’re at number 9a, look out for my ice-cream van…..

I’m hoping to Christmas-pimp my ride (well, actually my Ice cream van) (and it’s with fairy lights), and we’ll even tidy the studio up!

We always have lots of nice things at our Christmas sale, and there’s plenty going on in the surrounding studios.

By the way, I just made a necklace for my old friend Jenny Eclair who is suffering away down under in I’m a Celebrity. Hubby Geoff asked me to make a locket for her, then he jetted off to spectate from a posh hotel. I think she won it in a challenge on Sunday, but I was out so managed to miss it all. Here’s a very bad pic of her wearing it…..

It says; ‘Time flies………..’ (and on the inside) ‘when you’re having fun’, and is full of jungly things! Although  rather think she might have preferred a Big Mac!

Anyway, I don’t mind being stuck here right now. I love this time of year, and especially all this snow!

See you at one of the trunk shows or at our studio sale. Oh yes, and my brother organizes a Christmas fair for his local church in Primrose Hill so I’ll be there next Saturday (11th December). More about that soon!

Best,

Alex

Just to let you know, since my last post, we have delivered jewellery to the following London stockists:

Liberty, Harrods, Sweet Pea in Primrose Hill, Tom Foolery in Muswell Hill, Mitsukoshi on Regent Street, ED in East Dulwich, and Diverse on Upper Street.

Outside London, Forrest in Tenterden and Gill Clement in Swansea will be fully stocked.

Overseas we’ve sent some very pretty floral pieces (and our Bee of course!) to Moochinside in Hardy’s Bay, NSW Australia.

Many of these will be the first to receive our new season designs – we can’t wait to know what you think!!
