New Stationery

Draft from: 2009-05-29 01:06:12

I’ve finally received my letterhead and business cards last week so I’ve sent out some letters a few days ago to those who were interested. I love how my bee peeks through the window of the envelope. I’m happy with my new stationery especially the paper but I have doubts about my business cards. They look really cool with the spot UV but they forgot to print the brown colour in the background gradient, the hands and eyes of the bee, the icons and the text. So to me it all looks slightly too dark.

The black gradient (which should’ve been brown) seems too much of a contrast on the white background. So I’ve sent a letter to the printer asking for a reprint and hopefully they’ll take it into consideration. Lucky me they still have the proof which I approved so they should be able to tell the difference… I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hope they’ll print and deliver it on time! I’ve published this post a week later because I wanted to wait until the letters had arrived in the US, The Netherlands and Malta *hehe*

Update: I’ve heard from several people today and yesterday that they’ve received my letter so I guess it’s save to publish this post *wink* The printer received my complaint about the cards in the meantime and is working on a reprint…

My new stationery: my bee peeking through the window

The weather has been great again over the weekend so I spent a few hours relaxing in the sun on Saturday. I have a nice Indo (=Eurasian) tan, I was surprised that after half an hour I could see an amazing difference already when I moved my ring. A ring by designer Georgiana Scott that I bought at Fenwick on November eight last year.

That day I went to Bond Street with CS. to shop for xMas gifts. She wanted to buy some quality tights so we ended up at Fenwick and while she was at the counter to pay for her things I had a look around the jewellery section. I was only browsing and not thinking of buying anything but I instantly fell in love with this ring and showed it to CS.

Although I was in doubt about spending money, I bought it and never regretted that I did. I wanted to have something nice for me: a treat, but I also wanted to buy something from the money my dad left me, something special from him. Ever since that day, I’ve received nothing but compliments and I’m happy that I listened to my gut feeling.

The ring has five loose rings with different widths around the main centre ring which also holds them all together. When I move my hand you can hear the soft jingling sound of the loose rings, like mini-bangles. There’s only two of these in the world: it seems to be a unique collection especially designed for Fenwick not available anywhere else.

It puts a smile on my face whenever I hear it jingle…
