New Stock expected

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would let you have a preview of new stock which will be arriving in the next 2 weeks. I know many of you like to buy stock as soon as it arrives - so here it is!

The latest fashion line are pearls and also marcasite.

As usual, if you like a piece please email me and I will reserve that item for you - first come first served. If an item has already been sold then I will put your name on a  waiting list for next time.

I also have one last flower set in stunning silver. The pendant can also be worn as a brooch:

Enjoy!

See you soon.

Bakewell, Derbyshire

Bakewell in Derbyshire is a quaint small town nestling amongst high hills of the Derbyshire Dales. It is reputed to be where Jane Austen stayed when she edited ‘Pride and Prejudice’ in 1811. The town of Lambton which Miss Elizabeth Bennet visits is based on Bakewell and the grand estate owned by Mr Darcy is supposedly based on Chatsworth, which is not far away.

Bakewell also lays claim to the fact the delicious Bakewell Pudding was invented here and can be purchased from the ‘Original Bakewell Pudding Shop’ in the town - amongst other places.

I visited Bakewell not long ago to visit the ‘Bakewell Show’ which is a wonderful event taking place every year in August. There are many stallholders in the Craft tent, Food tent and WI tent. Whilst in the arenas there are heavy horses on display:

My father used to be in charge of 51 of these horses when he was young. The horses were used to pull milk carts and funeral hearses.

Apart from heavy horses there are cattle and dog shows:

Milford Designs is pleased to announce that we will soon be having an outlet in the wonderful town of Bakewell - watch this post for further details.

See you soon.

However if you are looking for that little extra something for a friend or loved one we are sure we can provide exactly what you need.

We are now developing a reputation as a  New Forest business for providing specialist quality items and you will not be disappointed when you visit us this weekend.

Beautiful new stock

I thought you might like to see some of the new stock that has just arrived. Apart from gorgeous gemstone bracelets, pendants, rings and earrings, we are now stocking plain silver and some silver with rose gold or 14k gold plating.

The recession is now taking a back seat and this year promises to be a year when you feel able to buy that special something for yourself and your friends. If you look in your jewellery boxes there are old faithful pieces but ladies need to shop to feel good and we can provide you with the ‘feel good’ factor with delightful pieces that won’t cost the earth.

Below are just some of  the pieces of special jewellery, so why not book a party or come and visit us at one of our events? - you can see where on our ‘Come and Meet Us’ page.

Enjoy:

See you soon xx

Charity Donations

We were very pleased to present the Piam Brown Childrens’ Cancer ward at Southampton General Hospital with a cheque for £210. The photo shows Karina giving the cheque to Jane Buchanan the Funding and Events Manager at the Piam Brown Ward.

We were also able to give money for a swing to a young patient recovering from Leukaemia, donate a sum to Great Ormonde Street Hospital and purchase a well, buckets and soap for a village in Africa.

In 2010 we hope to raise more money through Craft and Gift Fairs.

Thank you to all those people who supported us in this endeavour  - it really is worthwhile.

New Stock

Gorgeous new stock has arrived! Brand new sterling silver pendants and earrings in Blue Topaz and Amethyst along with Pearls, Garnets and Tanzanite are amongst the latest jewellery on offer this Spring (yes it is already Spring in the Milford Designs collection).

This year we also have the attractive large gemstone bracelets in sterling silver which are the latest fashion to add to your wardrobe.

This year’s colours are bright, loud and gaudy in pinks, blues, reds and turquoise. This is reflected in our latest range of scarves.

Contact us if you want a party or a personal shopping event - it really is worth it.

See you soon.

Party Feedback

Thank you for all your feedback about parties and stock. We have slept on these ideas and developed them. Party hosts will now receive a free gift PLUS a £10 gift voucher for use at future events. The host will also receive a £20 discount PLUS £5 discount for every party booked on the night. (Some hostesses have been receiving up to £70 discount!). For your guests there will be bottles of Bucks Fizz and a party bag to take home with them PLUS they will receive up to 40% discount on some items if they book a party on the night. In addition hostesses, who have already had a party, will be receiving a more expensive free gift at their next party.

Following your feedback we also now have in stock some more expensive jewellery items for that special occasion or person. The stock is always changing so if you see an item you like, it may not be there next time! However we can provide a personal gift shopping service if there is that special something, you have always wanted, we can usually find it for you. AND if you want a personal shopping experience we can also provide that at a time to suit you -  so you can decide on items at your leisure.

It has been brilliant working with and for so many lovely people this first year and I hope to see some of you before Christmas. If you don’t manage to see me then do have a Happy Christmas and a brilliant start to the New Year.
