Its been a while since I last blogged so bare with me!
This blog I wanted to discuss some thoughts and also share with you some exciting news re:FVD. (FVD-Floatingvintage designs my little page ~https://www.facebook.com/FloatingVintageDesigns/posts/406790832709213?ref=notif¬if_t=feed_comment#!/FloatingVintageDesigns)
As many of you will know I got married in December 2011, since then we have had 'the' talk about Babino's. Initially we decided we would wait and just enjoy us but even before the wedding I have yearned for a child someone to love and nurture, a new life to guide through the rough and smooth in this world.
It doesnt help when you get well meaning relatives asking, "so then when will you be giving your mum a grand-child?" We always give the well rehearsed answer "we are just enjoying being us for the moment thanks Aunty Pat"
The is no question that Mr.FVD and I wouldn't love a child, it is the practicalities that put us off, jumping in with both feet or perhaps another part of the anatomy..Where would we put him/her? Money? all the paraphenalia we would need, childcare, sleepless nights, (mr.FVD is a right grouch without atleast 7 hours!)
My wise old Mum once said to me "if you wait until you can afford a child, you would never have one" She is right but it doesnt stop us wanting to save and be able to give our child the best start in life.
So I guess the biggest question is When? Like when you find Mr.Right and you just know, will we just know when the time is right to have a child or will it happen and hit us like a 10 tonne truck? Either way I am very excited for Motherhood, when the time comes.
In other news....
Its Autumn the Leaves are starting to fall of the trees, Spiders are starting to invade my home and the heating has secretly been on already...All the beautiful Autumnal colours are starting to appear and I for one LOVE it (except the spiders) there is nothing more satisfying than being wrapped up warm with a hot drink while the wind and leaves blow about outside!
On Friday I released the brand New collection Autumn begins, On the first night alone many pieces were snapped up, I was overjoyed! There are still somepieces left should you fancy a peek to compliment your Autumn Wardrobe..Includingmy favourite piece, a beautiful eclectic charm bracelet..At only £9.50 it is an absolute steal!
COMPETITION TIME
Competitions arent allowed on facebook :( so I will have to announce on here the start of the competition and the winner when the time comes.
This is my favourite competition to do, as It rewards my customers loyalty, of which I am most appreciative of.
Back dating to Friday so all customers who purchased from the Autumn collection will be involved.
Each purchase made will come with a number on the business card or tag, save the tag or jot the number down that is your "raffle ticket". Running from 14th September - 17th October each item purchased will come with a number.
THE PRIZE
the price will be a £15.00 voucher to spend on ANY FVD product be it jewellery or fabric items. This voucher cannot be used in conjuction with a custom order and does not include postage. The voucher has to be used in one transaction and any monies left cannot be carried over. If your purchases amount to over the voucher amount I am happy for you to add to it.
I am sure a £15.00 voucher will happily sort one or two gifts for Christmas!!! :D
A little Announcement before I go, From October 1st to October 7th I will be away, we are going on our Summer holiday (HAHA!) to the beautiful Isle of Wight. We have both been before a long time ago...if you have been more recent please suggest places to visit/eat, I would be very grateful!
Until next time my dears, take care,
Love
Mrs.Floaty x x x
