Happy New Year to you all and may 2010 be filled with wonderful blessings, happiness and peace for all of us.  I know I have a very exciting year ahead and I can’t wait to get started,  (though I’ve gotta tell you, my girls slept till 8:30 this morning, and that is the BEST start to a new year ever!!!!!).

First of all, thank you for some wonderful nominations for Giving is Awesome. I have had lumps in my throat, tears in my eye and felt moved beyond belief. It’s wonderful to know there are such compassionate people in our community here in Abu Dhabi and I have chosen a family I feel are truly deserving as winners. I’ll be in touch with them, and their nominee soon, and I can’t wait to meet this family.

In response to customer feedback I am excited to be introducing tiered collections for 2010. These will offer great value savings over the a la carte prices and reflect the boutique products that my customers have been falling in love with during 2009. And watch the boutique for some amazing new products – including an album which will seriously Rock-your-socks off – every coffee table needs one!!!

And because we always need some pictures, this is what Santa brought for me…

a limited edition “Pretty in Pink – Holgawood” camera, (so cute and so retro), and the most adorable nedckace, handstamped with a “S” and an “I” on flowers (very ME!!) from The Vintage Pearl – am I a lucky girl or what?

So here’s hoping Santa was good to those of you celebrating too – and to a happy, healthy and prosperous 2010, love, Kirsty x
