Morning all, have you got May 10th in your diaries?
Lili of the Valley is 10 years old this year and we are having some birthday celebrations
If you are able to visit our shop near Leeds there will be lots going on, we have some of our DT from around the world coming along to demo and meet everyone and there will be special offers and new products
For those of you that can’t make it or are too far away we will be holding our virtual Facebook party again, it was really successful last time and our DT that won’t be here in the shop will be joining in with that

We had a nice surprise too, our lovely friends Mary and Andrea at the Ribbon Girl named two of their beautiful laces after our Laila and Lisa to celebrate the 10th birthday
We have the lace available in the shop or you can get it online at the Ribbon Girl
This first one is Laila lace and is £1.45 a metre…
and this is the Lisa lace which is £2.30 a metre…
Aren’t they gorgeous, we all love using a bit of lace on our cards… especially Elise who made today’s lovely card
Elise used one of our Statement stamps on this card, they’re great when you just want to say something without using an image
The papers are from our Baskets and Bunnies pad, they look so pretty gathered along the bottom of the card, I’d like to have a go at this myself
You can see full details, as well as a link to the tutorial Elise used for the paper technique on her blog here

That’s me done for today, I was going to have a trip down to the NEC this weekend but I’ve changed my mind. I love a mooch round the sewing and fabric show too but it’s such a long way and I know I’ll just end up buying more things I don’t need. I’m going to have a couple of hours in the attic instead and make use of some of the huge stash that I already have!
Leave your name in the linky for today’s candy, and don’t forget to do the blog hop if you missed it on Friday. There are some of the new Annabel stamps up for grabs and the winners will be drawn from all the comments tomorrow morning
Have a great day whatever you’re doing folks
looking forward to joining in the fun one way or another but might be the perfect justification to my hubby to visit your shop.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card as always from Elise. congrats on your own laces ladies and can't wait to see you at the shop on 10th may. Holly x
ReplyDeleteIt's a great card without using an image. Beautiful laces.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be at your celebration, but sadly it is way too far to travel!
ReplyDeleteI too would like to be there, but it is too far away. Perhaps I could ask hubby to buy the laces for our wedding anniversary which is the next day!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am coming up to stay for a couple of nights so I can come to the Birthday celebrations, so excited to be coming to your beautiful shop again. Look forward to meeting you again Anne along with some of my blogging buddies, many of whom I have never met before. Enjoy your day x

ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome card here today, sooo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame I live so far, it´s just not fair, that we never get to go near any of those fun events, boy I would love to be able to join your celebration, but here from denmark is a bit too far, I´m afraid ha ha ha. But I sure hope, you´ll all have a wonderful time there in May.
Beautiful card from Elise as always! I'm busy looking up flights and hotels and things but think it will probably be a bit expensive to make it over there, will have to join you online I think :)

Beautiful card and gorgeous papers!
ReplyDeleteOooo absolutely stunning and such gorgeous papers too.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately i won't be able to visit you for your 10th Birthday Party, as with a 7 year old at school and living in Sussex, it sort of put a spanner in the works - but i will be visiting you either 10th or 11th April, so see you then, Luv Sam x
What a gorgeous creation! The texture is beautiful beyond words... and I LOVE that the Ribbon Girl named two lovely laces after you! How sweet is that? :o) Congratulations on your upcoming birthday! I'm in the US, but will be with you in spirit (or online..hehe). :o)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Karen
