Busy, busy, busy!

Morning everyone!

Absolutely mad busy with TT at the minute....could do with someone finding me an extra 10 hours in a day!  

I've also got a busy weekend ahead of me as I'm taking part in the Cancer Research Relay for Life on Saturday.  My friend, Michelle, has put the team together and we've both, unfortunately, had experience of cancer in our immediate family.....one of her daughters and my eldest boy.  It should be a great event with a fantastic atmosphere and we hope to raise lots of money for a great cause.

I've mentioned previously about running another competition when Tiny Treasures turns the ripe old age of 6 months on September 12th.  I was hoping to have reached 1,000 likers on my TT Facebook page by that date and I'm pleased to say that my likes on the page currently stands at an astounding 1,596!  So, the competition will definitely be going ahead and the prize will be a very special one......

The winner will receive one of my new charm necklaces with a small pure silver charm (stamped with up to 2 initials or a flower/heart/star) and a Swarovski channel charm in the colour of their choice.  This prize is worth over £25.00 and the winner will be first person to own one of my new necklaces before the new ranges are even launched.



I'll have more details about the competition nearer the time.

New bracelet range to be launched soon!

Many of my designs are intended to be worn as necklaces so I've been thinking of what I can offer in the line of bracelets.  I've made up a couple of samples and I posted photos of them to my Facebook page to gauge interest and get some feedback from my followers and customers. So far, feedback has been great so I'm working on some more designs which will be featured in the new range.

The first one is a double strand leather cord bracelet with a sterling silver heart charm which can be personalised with initials, a date or short text.  The cord is 0.5mm thick so the bracelet is delicate and light to wear.  You also have the option of adding other charms.


The second one is a single strand waxed cotton cord bracelet with a stainless steel washer which can be personalised with up around 8 letters either side of the rings that attach it to the cord.  Again this is a lovely light bracelet which is very comfortable to wear.


The bracelets are fully adjustable with the clever sliding knots.


I've been "test driving" these bracelets for a couple of days but I'm giving one of you the chance to be the first to own one of my new waxed cotton cord bracelets with a personalised stainless steel washer, before the range is even launched, for just £7.00 (includes P&P).  Please note that the cord is only available in purple at present and the stamped text is limited to around 8 letters either side of the rings.  

If you are interested please email me at tinytreasureskeepsakes@gmail.com before 11pm tonight (Thursday 16th August) stating the text you'd like to be stamped onto the washer.  You have to be able to pay via Paypal and payment, which is £7.00 including P&P,  must be made before midday on Sunday 19th August.  I won't take any further email applications after 11pm tonight.  A person will be chosen at random to receive one of the bracelets at the special one-off price (price will be around £13.00 plus P&P when the range is launched).

*The bracelet is only available in purple at present and text is limited to up to 8 letters either side of the rings*

Edit.....PLEASE NOTE I CAN ALSO DO THE BRACELET IN A DOUBLE STRAND AQUA WAXED COTTON CORD BRACELET RATHER THAN PURPLE IF YOU PREFER.

1,000 likers reached......and passed!

So, following on from my last post about hoping to reach 1,000 likers on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/TinyTreasuresKeepsakes) I actually reached that magic number on August 6th.....and the number of likes on the page now currently stands at 1,348!  I'm absolutely staggered!  I'll be announcing a new competition to celebrate this and Tiny Treasures 6 month birthday on September 16th.

I completed a new customer order yesterday and it's the first piece to feature my signature "tt" heart tag.  I thought it would be nice to have something on my more expensive sterling silver designs to show that they were lovingly made by me :)  It's now winging it's way to it's new owner, Sam, so I hope she'll be happy with it.

Another milestone reached for Tiny Treasures!

Well, I reached another milestone on my Tiny Treasures Facebook page the other day.....900 likers reached!  And, believe it or not, the page is heading steadily towards the big 1,000 already as the current number of likers on the page is 966.


As some of you know, the powers that be at FB don't like us to do competitions and giveaways so I thought I'd make a little announcement here on my Blog.  Tiny Treasures will be 6 months old on the 12th September (which also happens to be my youngest boy's 13th birthday) so if I can reach the magic number of 1,000 likers before that date I'll be doing another giveaway!


I'll announce more details very soon but if you have friends on FB who you think would love Tiny Treasures please do invite them to take a look and like the page.  You can find a "Suggest To Friends" tab just under the main cover photo of the page.


I'm truly amazed and so, so grateful to all of my likers and wonderful customers for making TT the success it is in such a short space time.  Thanks, guys! :)
