Gift of The Year Award?

I am so excited.

I or rather C&B has been nominated and then shortlisted for Not On the High Street.com Gift of the Year Award 2011. Shortlisted out of all of their products to just 5.

I am amazed and rather proud. C&B has never won anything before so I am a tad giddy. The winners will be announced in June and will get to attend some swanky awards do - omg what to wear *sorry getting ahead of myself*.....

I can't think for a second that we might win but just to get this far is quite fabulous.

Our super popular friendship bracelets are the items in the running and up against some stiff competition.

If you like them and are a fan of C&B a little vote would be very much appreciated.

Whilst I am blowing the old trumpet thought I would share our latest press. Grazia's fashion charts - number 2 as well.

So funny to be sharing the page with the likes of Prada and Moschino!

You can find the 'oh so fashionable dahrlink' Circle of Life bangles here in the eboutique!

Happy Easter my sweets ♥

Neglect

I have written in the past about losing my blogging mojo.

This time it has gone well and truly or had you not noticed?

To make matters worse I was skimming through my posts a few days ago and cringed at the things I had written. I mean, seriously, who cares that I had a crush on Bill from True Blood (who has now been replaced by Don Draper of Madmen fame)!

I am happy however to keep you up to date with the goings on of Chambers & Beau.

A great response to the latest collections (find them here) with a bit of press and lots of orders.

Christmas ideas in trade jewellery mag The Jeweller.

Another Christmas gift guide but this time in inflight Flybe's Uncovered mag.

And, saving the best till last, another mention in Grazia's fashion charts.
This makes me very happy!

My only other news is that I have gifted Samantha Cameron. I thought she would be a good choice what with being the most photographed woman in the UK at present. No news yet but am hoping that a little thankyou note for her Family Classic necklace might plop on my doormat sometime soon.
Promise to be back soon

Christmas sparkle in August?

I know no-one wants to hear the C word this early on but truth be told I am actually running rather late. Magazines are working on their gift guides and I still have not got all my samples together - Arghhh. Bit worried I am going to miss the boat but there is nothing that can be done about it so will just have to keep everything crossed that the editors and stylists love it enough to squeeze it in.
Photography is happening next weekend but I am so excited with the new bits that I wanted to give you a sneaky preview. I am waiting on new fonts for the text so this is still a work in progress.

Family Tree Classic

Its got diamonds and everything!!

Do you like?

My feeble reason for being so behind with all that is festive is due to the rather fab press I have received of late.

The Wish List in The Daily Mail

Grazia via the very lovely Polly Vernon

and Candis (no, I hadn't heard of it either)!

More Xmas goodies to come soon I promise
