Stuck On You- Prodcut Review!
 |
| Owls
are my favourite nocturnal animals. I spent one evening some months ago
trying my hand at drawing and sketching a few ..along with some birds |
|
 |
| One of my quick sketches of an animated owl |
 |
| I adore little colourful birds.. ;another of my quick drawing |
 |
| My attempt at sketching a Barn Owl! |
 |
| And
...my lovely birds on branches.......On this note, as mentioned in my
previous post I am member of Britmums -Working with Brands Group. After
viewing the Stuck On You website with the amazing range of simply
wonderful products, I put myself forward to review an item . I was
delighted to be selected as a reviewer with Erin. We were requested to
review their personalized short summer pyjamas. |
 |
| I
was drawn to the range of designs on offer . They are colourful,
bright, engaging,cute and adorable. I especially liked the designs
featuring -owls- birds -birdhouses-flowers and animals. |
 |
I
must say...it was difficult deciding on a design as I adore owls as
mentioned and there were quite a handful of Owl designs in the range to
choose from. This one stood out because it represented my daughters
and I cuddled in bed with me in the middle reading stories at bedtime
with them.
From a design aspect I love them all.
Once I chose the design the Pyjamas were then posted out to us. |
 |
It arrived just in time too because summer has finally come to London!
After
weeks and weeks of rain we have been having glorious sun / heat wave,
so Erin is only keen to wear as little as possible in the form of teeny
tiny dresses.
I was relived that she actually like wearing the PJ's; little did I know she would wear it for days on end.http://www.stuckonyou.co.uk/personalised-baby-kids-clothing/short-pyjamas/pyjamas. |
 |
| In my opinion the pyjamas are of high quality thick, stretchy, soft and cotton -my favourite fabric, especially for the kids |
The proof in the comfortable wear of the stuck on you short summer pyjamas for Erin is clear to experience this go to - http://www.stuckonyou.co.uk/personalised-baby-kids-clothing/short-pyjamas/pyjamas.html
They are quality made and
100% cotton. Each top can be personalised with a child's name with over 30
gorgeous designs to choose from. The bottoms are available in navy or pink and
white stripes. They are super soft and super snugly. (RRP 24.95)
 |
 |
Erin Is finally comfortably asleep..
Note -At
the back inside of the pyjama top is written "
to wear me for as long
possible, please machine wash me on a cold, gentle setting. Be
careful!!!do not bleach or tumble dry...ouch iron me with a warm iron
but please Never iron directly onto my cute print design. 98%Cotton 2%
Elastane." |
|
 |
The morning after..Erin is still a happy customer.
The pyjama did not wrinkle or stretch out of shape
She did not wish to take them
off- so she wore it to take her big sister to school, and to the park
and to play group and then had her nap. We are now 3 days in and she
refuses to take it off (arrh) that is the only drawback about this
product. She has gotten very attached to it.
To
have a completed review I would have loved to wash and iron the product
and express how it stands up to it first wash but Erin is still in the
pyjama.
I
thought for the purpose of the review I would see how many days she
would push for it but I think after her nap today it simply has to be
laundered before someone reports me to Social Services.
|
I would certainly recommend Stuck On You if you are on the look out for a personalised gift, name
labels, clothing labels for kids, and school .

Review -Half day Jewellery course @ CA Jewellry school

Introducing Tilly @silverserivce
My beautiful wings- hand carved bone by the beautiful Tilly @ Silver Service.
http://www.silverservicejewellery.co.uk/
It
is not often that I get the chance to venture out into the city.....
with the added bonus of spoiling myself with a guilt free purchase just
for me, not for the kids or the home..... for ME!
So off I trotted to the Spirit of Summer
fair in London on Friday. This being the first time I attended I
checked on-line to see what I was in for. There were photos displaying
the different exhibitors and events to expect...but when I laid eyes on
the picture above.....
.....so I told myself 'SELF' that is nice... that is very nice, I must pop by her booth and have a look.
A
look.. mind you turned into a rare purchase. It was so delicately made!
( not a word usually associated with bone but it is honestly) . I
rationalized to myself that I must have it must and based this on all
hard work I do being a good mother and wife and told myself... 'SELF'..
if my husband were here he would surely get it for me . So I did what I
felt I should do ......whipped out my card and swiped away.... with not
an ounce of guilt looming in the air I knew it had to be. And here she
is...' a bargain for only £25.00! if you love and appreciate unique high
quality hand crafted jewellery...you must check out Tilly's site.
 |
| what a beauty |
 |
| so delicate |
 |
| My newly favorite piece |

NOTE:
I am doing this review on own accord because I truly love her work and
appreciate it from an artistic view point. It is just my nature to
support other artists and artforms and share their talent with my
viewers.

individuality, substance and emotional depth. With texture - many
levels of it, all the while being very visually delicate and leaves you
departing floaty and enriched. Oh! most shocking of all - Affordable!!

Introducing....Claire Stratton..
 |
| I am a huge fan of handmade goods and equally a huge fan of Claire Stratton Jewellery Collection
{view above and below for fine examples her distinctive work}. All
Original pieces, all hand made, all beautiful and made with the finest
materials. They are weighty and you automatically feel the value for
money on your hand when trying on one her pieces. Please check out her
work on her website below. |
www.clairestratton.co.uk
Claire
Stratton has developed her distinctive style of jewellery over the past
two decades, out of a background in Fine Art (Goldsmiths’ College,
London). There has always been a sculptural sensibility to her work,
with a strong affinity for form, light effects and colour. Her jewellery
skills were honed at Sir John Cass and Morley College, and she holds a
diploma in gemmology from the Gemmological Association of Great Britain.
She
made her first collections in the early nighties, whilst living in
rural Andalucia, selling through Electrum Gallery and Harvey Nichols. On
returning to London in 1996, she opened her own shop in Clapham, where
she created a strong following for her work. She has also sold her work
through Liberty and Paul Smith. She now lives and runs her studio in
rural Gloucestershire, whilst maintaining regular links with London.
Claire
is best known for her rings – intimate objects which tell the stories
of our lives – “symbolic of loved ones, unions, turning points and
celebratory events – small sculptures we carry around with us in our
every day lives, testaments to our journeying.”
Gold, silver and
gemstones are brought to life in unusual gatherings. A star sapphire may
nestle quietly amidst bud and leaf. Or a spinel may shout ‘pink!’ from a
cluster of emerging forms. Either way, each ring holds a character of
its own, and will attract a like-minded soul.
She also makes necklaces, earrings and bracelets – ranging from the simple and tactile to the sculptural and talismatic.
