Whats In My Bag - Fox Special

I've seen similar blog posts doing the rounds, where you get a sneak peak in somomes bag, I've decided to show mine.  A lot of people assume that because the fox bag is only quite small that aside from a phone, purse and keys nothing else will fit...how wrong you are.  

In mine I can cram an A5 moleskin notepad, chunky diary, purse (yes I have pinched bought one from Cherry Rainbow stock) pen, pack of highlighters (even the most boring paperwork looks better when highlighted in pink) antibiotics (cough, cough I'm poorly please feel sorry for me) Kindle, business card holder, mirror, lip balm, keys AND FINALLY my phone (you may notice the case is empty, the phone was in my hand taking the photo!  I have hidden the crumbs, empty chocolate wrappers and receipts, but nobody needs to see those ;)

Now you know just how much can fit in this adorable bag, you can head over to the website here to buy one for yourself, or try your luck at winning one in the competition!!

Monday Blues

After all the fun of Christmas I'm guessing everyone is back to normality now, however fortunately for me my day job is AMAZING (sorry to rub it in).

 Today whilst nursing a viral infection I have stuck to the computer based side of the sites and sorted out the hairbands on JBJ. Since there is a maximum of 300 products on the site I have condensed all the headbands to one product, with the other of tonnes more fabrics. What do you think of my computer skills, in future I will leave that to Christian, but hes been busy sorting out the adverts to hopefully draw lots more readers and customers to both sites.

 Another quick reminder if you haven't already entered the competition is now OPEN, click here to enter. 

 Take Care Michelle xx

So far so well...

Turns out that having two of us posting has meant we're doing pretty well at this blogging lark!!  I thought I would take this opportunity to do a quick hello and intro into myself.  I am Michelle, the left hand illustration and the one that has the slight obsession with sweet themed products.  I have run Jelly Button for the past two years, and after wanting to expand my product range I decided to come on board with the fantastic (he didn't pay me to say that honest) web designer Christian.  He is the one who takes control of all the computer side of the business, building websites, creating leaflets, posters etc and I do all the making, picking out stock and teaching him how to wrap parcels just right!

This year I'm hoping both businesses do great, with the help of all the fantastic customers that buy from us, so will take this opportunity to say THANK YOU for your orders in advance! We have some exciting new products coming soon, the bracelets have just gone on sale on JBJ and here is a sneak peak of an exciting 80's cartoon range coming to Cherry! 

Enjoy!

Got an Oyster Card? Need a Card Holder?

So with the increased amount of Oyster Cards now used across the UK and expanding all the time, we thought New Fun and Quirky Card Holders would be ideal !!

We have four fun themed Card Holders on the site currently but will be getting some new ones in during the next few weeks, 

a lot more in fact :)

 If you have a particular favourite theme you would like to see for the Purses/Wallets/Card Holders/Passport Covers e.g. Favourite TV Programme, Food, Character etc. let us know and we will try our best to produce this for you !!  

Please email hello@cherryrainbow.co.uk if you have any questions.

Have a great day!!

Want to learn how to make your own jewellery?

After receiving daily emails from people enquiring as to where I buy the components to make jewellery, what brands I use, or even as cheeky as to ask exactly how I make it I have decided to share my secret...

Ok maybe not, but if you are interested I teach a course at Ministry of Craft in Manchester City Centre.  In this 3 hour class you learn the basics of how to create your own Jelly Button masterpieces.

This class is perfect for all ages, I have taught men, teenagers, the more mature and even had a class of ten boisterous 12 year old girls that had a specially arranged course for a birthday party.  If you are interested in booking a place be quick because they sell out, if jewellery isn't your thing they have a fantastic selection of other crafts.

The next class arranged is for Feb so take a look now :) or if you are interested in a birthday party with a difference feel feel to contact them at info@ministryofcraft.co.uk

Happy New Year!

Well it's that time of year again when everyone makes promises to eat healthier, do more exercise, take better care of themselves etc, I hope whatever goals you have set yourself you stick to and make 2013 a great year!!

Here at Jelly Button HQ my goal for today is to sort out lots of stock to create a sale section, I find using diaries, to do lists and calenders are fantastic for sorting out what needs to be done on a daily basis.  To help you on your way I have found an adorable set of FREE printable mini calenders, they are super cute and I can't wait to print a set to decorate the walls with.  To find the templates and an array of other printable goodies head over Eat Drink Chic, this fantastic site is top on my bookmarked pages now.

Have a great start to the year!!

Love Michelle & Christian xx
