We seem to be Trunk Show crazy at the moment, with pieces being snapped up from our on-line selection in minutes! (Or at least hours!)

If you would like to come and see what all the fuss is about, why not pop along to Ede & Ravenscroft next Thursday, the 22nd of April?

Their lovely team of ladies will be only too pleased to offer you a glass of champagne while you have a little browse, and the event runs from 4-8pm.  They will also have a new delivery of stock (Bees, Owls, Birds….) alongside those extra-special one-offs.

Come and see us at Ede & Ravenscroft!

Next up will be Bloomsbury in Bristol, on the 6th of May – for all of our West Country fans!

More details will follow on our blog, but don’t forget to join our Facebook page too, for up-to-the minute and sometimes exclusive news!

I hope everyone had a nice Easter, and didn’t over-indulge too much….we’re always trying to ‘be good’ here at AMHQ, but we always seem to have a huge pile of chocolate / biscuits / cake so it’s tricky!

We love InStyle Magazine anyway, as they are always featuring our pieces, but especially so this month, as they are running a ‘Golden Ticket’ giveaway with thousands of brilliant prizes, including a trip to Greece, a Chloe bag, bed and breakfast at a Malmaison Hotel, and of course some Alex Monroe goodies!

We have offered FIVE £100 Gift Vouchers to be used on our website – so we hope this will cheer you up while we are waiting for Spring to arrive!

Just purchase the May issue of InStyle, and find your Willy Wonka style ticket for a chance to win. You will then need to register the magic number online.

Good Luck!!

Our Trunk Show concept seems to be going from strength to strength, and on the 22nd of this month we are off to Madeleine Hamilton in Chancery Lane, then I’ll be making my way to Bloomsbury in Bristol on the 6th of May for our first West Country event! Watch this space for further details nearer the time.

Net-A-Porter has been in the news a lot recently, with big shares being sold, and we are so proud that we are part of their business. They have a great capsule collection of Alex Monroe, and do amazing product and model shots of the pieces, for those of you who want to see our pieces being worn before you purchase.

Don’t forget that there are some great images of our pieces being worn on the press page of our site. Most recently, the lovely Sophie at Look magazine did this great feature, using five of our Rings on one shot! Check it out:

We especially love the stacked Twig Rings.

Finally, I just had to share this gorgeous picture of our adorable Love Birds Ring, sent to us by Sophie Peart, the loving owner of ‘Harry and Mary’ as she calls them!

Courtesy of Sophie Peart - thanks Sophie!

Good luck with the InStyle competition, and I’ll be in touch again soon!

We are very excited about our next Trunk Show, this time traveling to Notting Hill to visit Ec One’s gorgeous boutique at 56 Ledbury Road.

The event will also mark the launch of ‘The Gardener’ at Ec One, and Alex will be popping in to say hello. It’s all happening next Thursday, the 25th of March, from 6-9pm.

We’ve been running our Trunk Shows for just over a year now, and the idea is that we visit our stockists with a special selection of individually made, one-off pieces, which are available exclusively at the event.

Here’s a little sneak at three of the pieces we will be taking along……you can view more on our Facebook page.

Big Silver Hoops with Gold-Plated Filigree Butterflies - Amazing!

Swinging Songbird Necklace.

Forget Me Not Heart Necklace - sooo cute!

Ec One will also be offering a special discount on the night, and recommend that you rsvp if you would like to attend. Drop a line to Katherine at press@econe.co.uk

As we can’t make it everywhere with the Trunk Show (although we’d love to!) we now have a ‘Trunk Show’ selection available on-line, so that our fans all over the world don’t miss out on the amazing opportunity to own an Alex Monroe one-off. But you need to be quick – there is literally only one of each piece!

We hope you can make it along next week – Suzy.A and Ulrikke will be helping out, and they are really looking forward to seeing you there!

Just a quick note to let you all know about our latest web-site improvements.  We’ve just added a new collection page called *TRUNK SHOW!* As you’ve guessed, this page is dedicated to bringing our special one-off pieces to everyone!  Normally reserved for our Trunk Show events held at stockists throughout the UK and abroad, you can now purchase one-off pieces straight from our web-site.  How cool is that?!

I would love to know what you think of the work, so keep in touch.  S x

Our Trunk Show at Silverado last Saturday went really well, with lots of brand new one-off pieces being snapped up, and Christmas presents being bought.  We had a lovely email from Samantha Lee who chose her Christmas present and then won the prize draw piece – she said: “I haven’t stopped smiling since!”

So thank you to everyone involved who made the day such a success.

This week, from tomorrow until Saturday, we are at Liberty…..

We will have another, completely different selection of unique Alex Monroe pieces, and will also be unveiling of our exciting new collection “The Peacock and the Crow”. Here’s a sneak preview!

Peacock Feather Hoops with Amethyst, Apatite & Emerald Beads.

We really can’t wait to hear what you think and see how quickly the pieces get snapped up!

Susie L, Rakhi, Suzy A, Mayo and Myself will all be popping in to lend a hand, so come and say hello!

This Bunny Necklace was quickly snapped up....

The shop is open from 10am-6pm, and don’t forget, it’s THIS SATURDAY – the 21st NOVEMBER!

Would you believe it? I’m in Australia! And it’s blooming far away. Having spent a day or two on planes I’m rather tired, but have had a swim this morning, the sun is shining, and Nina is coming to pick me up any minute so I mustn’t write too long….. ooops. She’s here. Off to lunch. Back soon…

Just had a lovely drive round Melbourne, and Nina took me for lunch at the famous Stoke House on the beach. Delicious grub, sun shining, I’m definitely here.

Lunch on the beach

Then off to visit a few of our stockists. Chambermaid, a Husk, and Syrup. Just trying to get my bearings. Melbourne is lovely, quite villagey, boutiquey. We ended up in Hampton with the gorgeous Kirsty at Syrup. She was lovely, the shop was lovely, quite destination, a little way out of town along the beach road. I love Melbourne!

Syrup

Supper at Nina and Mac’s (Mac is a wine man so I’ve landed on my feet there!). Chargrilled fresh broad beans out of their pods with a bottle of rose, and delicious lamb and asparagus with one of Mac’s reds. Dee-lish-ous……

Back to my Kooky hotel for sleeeeeeeeeep.

More soon, (look out for our trunk show at Morrison in Chadstone on Thursday)

Alex

If you’re stuck for something to do this weekend, why not head down to Brighton?

Further details can be seen on my last post (just scroll down the page) but it’s all kicking off at 11am and running until 4pm – really hope you can make it!! x

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside.....
