Morning everyone!
phew this is a bit early for me this morning after having quite a late night last night! Never mind it was brilliant and despite getting in at 2.30am we had Harrison jumping up and down on us this morning at 7am shouting Morning time mummy and daddy! If only children knew! Luckily i'd kept the drinking to a minimum so don't feel too bad today! Only 3 glasses of wine and 1 small glass of champagne from 7.45 until 1.45am. We've got some very good friends who were kind enough to share a bottle of Cristal with us before we went for dinner last night which was an extra special treat but of course I could only have a tincy bit as silly me had nominated to drive into town! Anyway some of you might remember watching The Restaurant Inspector last year and they were at The Vineyard in Northampton with the guy who runs The Ivy in London. We go to the restaurant reasonably regularly but last night was definately the best. At the moment i'm unfortunately on a wheat, dairy and tomato free diet due to intoloerances and it's difficult enough cooking with all these restrictions at home let alone a chef on a friday night in a town centre restaurant and mess all their cooking techniques around! However Tina and Amy (owners) accommodated my needs very well! They cooked my main of cod wqithout the beurre blanc sauce, I had separate vegetables with no butter and it all tasted fantastic! So if you are round and about in Northampton give it a try!
Do you ever have friends round for drinks or dinner and after a few glasses everyone always ends up losing theirs? Well that can all end now all thanks to our wine glass charms! My ones which I use when we have friends over all have different charms on so we always know which one is ours. We've done some with names on and they're a great present for friends for their birthday or a lovely gift for the host of a dinner party. They are also a modern idea for wedding favours. We can do names, all sorts of different colour options and at only £1.25 each they're a bargain (minimum of 6).
If you have and queries about them please pop a comment below or send us an email to sales@purplesorbetjewellery.com.
Now what about combining the above two? a few glasses of wine with some friends and the opportunity to look at all of the Purple Sorbet jewellery range? Well we do home jewellery parties in the Northampton area. We come in and set up all our ranges do a quick introduction about ourselves and the company and a brief talk about what products we have and then the rest of the night is for looking, trying on and asking any questions you may have. If you were to host a party we would offer you 10% of the sales on that night to put towards jewellery for yourself. So obviously the more friends you have round the higher the sales will be! We also give you a set of 6 wine glass charms for holding the party. If you are interested in holding a jewellery party at home just let us know.
If you wanted to take a look at all the items we have take a peak at our website www.purplesorbetjewellery.com
Well i wish I could sit here all day and write about stuff but I must get in the shower and get tidying up as going out with HP and Warren later.
take care everyone xx
Hi everyone!
Well day 2 of my blog is upon us. I hope yesterdays blog introduced you to me and my family life and what I get up to on a day to day basis. Todays blog is going to add to that and include a few other bits which have caught my eye and imagination today.
Today after dropping HP at nursery and then doing a tincy bit of work at our letting agents I came back home to have a whole afternoon with my mum to talk about what new designs we're having for Purple Sorbet! We've got a beautiful new bracelet called Venus which we are doing as a limited edition bracelet for Valentines Day. Venus is a prettily feminine link silver plated charm bracelet of rose quartz nuggets (gemstone of unconditional love), with swarovski bicone crystals and three fabulous charms, a diamante heart, a pewter love charm and a tibetan silver cherub. This bracelet will be on our website from tomorrow for sale at £29.50.
In addition to our new Venus bracelet we have selected another 4 bracelets to put into our valentines selection. These are Adora, Sweet Rose, Back to Black and Sweet Heart. Every girl wants to be treated like a princess on Valentine's Day, so if you boyfriend or husband needs a push in the right direction, send them over to www.purplesorbetjewellery.com!
Sweet Heart - £25.00
Back to Black - £22.00
Shoedazzle.co.uk - Before christmas I was desparate for some new comfy ankle boots so I scoured the internet for some without luck. Then, on my facebook page I came accross shoedazzle.co.uk. Being quite suspicious about facebook advertisments I thought i'd give it a go and with luck I found my perfect pair of boots, Nara. When they came I was SOOOOOO happy with them, they came really quickly and in a fab bright pink shoe box too not like some sites where they are loose. Now girls you'd better be quick as the website is closing down on Tuesday 31st January!!! Originally everything on the site was £39.95 but NOW everything has 75% off!! There's not much left available but there might be something that catches your eye and with free postage and packaging its worth a few minutes of your time!
COMPETITION!
Purple Sorbet are offering one Adora bracelet and one Sweet Rose bracelet up for grabs to two lucky people! All we ask you to do is to take a look on our website and see which one of the two is your favourite and tell us why! The competition will span over facebook, twitter and the blog so entries from all of these will be accepted. My mum and I will choose our two favourite answers, one from each of the bracelets, on the evening of Monday 30th january and annouce the winner at 8pm that night.
Right must go and do some housework now before picking HP up from nursery in a while! Please feel free to leave me any questions or comments I'd be happy to answer them!
Much love xxx
Thursday 26th January 2012
This is my first blog - aghhhh! So please bear with me. This is basically going to introduce you all to myself, my company and my day to day life. I'll include ALL sorts of things, some very interesting and some might be very boring! Well hi. I'm Sophie, mother to Harrison (HP), 3 in February and wife to Warren.
The start of Purple Sorbet - well it all started by chance! After having Harrison I spent two mornings a week working for my husbands letting agents in Northampton and since Harrison was getting older I felt I needed something to do with my time. My mum, since she had retired when i had HP, had been keeping herself busy with the odd jewellery making course down at her local Colemans and had made herself some very pretty items of jewellery. One day last May I asked her to make me a Thomas Sabo style black crystal bracelet since I hadn't got anything similar and there was no point paying £30 + when my mum could make me one! The week after I had a few girlfriends round on a saturday night for a few drinky's in the garden and my bracelet caught the attention of them all. I quickly picked up the basics and we were soon getting quite a few requests from friends and friends of friends for birthday presents etc And so Purple Sorbet was born!
Sophie and Pamela, the P and S in our name, together we wanted to create jewellery which was simple, classic and affordable. Together we hope that we bridge the generation gaps and produce something for girls and ladies of all ages. We are slowly introducing ourselves to Northampton, at local craft fairs, school fetes and a ladies lunch in May!
Anyway we are on twitter @Purple_sorbet, on facebook Purple Sorbet Handmade Jewellery and our website is Purple Sorbet and we have our sale on until the 10th February!
I'll update this as much as I possibly can! Hope you enjoy what I write about and review and of course all my other day to day runnings around!
lots of love
Sophie xx
