Housewife and homemaker, going solo?

Blog split!

I have now split my blog I am leaving this one solely as a bespoke vintage Castle blog I will not delete my posts from: housewife and home but I will continue them on a separate blog!

My business is business and my home life is very personal I don't mind sharing hints and tips on being a homemaker,but I believe for our Bespoke vintage castle clients it's better that I direct them to my business blog page which has links to my website etc..

So the posts I already have here with the recipes will remain, 

but for now I have decided to start a new blog page thank you for all those who are shared what I have done here and once I have a new page up I will send the link Best wishes

Ordained into the Ministry

On Friday the of November 2014

We have officially been launched out into the Ministry

Feeling elated and very excited!

I know it's not a fair ground ride in the playful sense but could rather be the metaphorical realistic term of the phrase.

Going to Yorkshire "Gods own County"

Kingston Upon Hull

With complete support from our own pastors, leaders, and friends

With a launch date not confirmed but on count down

We are blessed,humble and honored to undertake this huge change in our lives and the lives of others we will touch

Got to have, Guts for Garters!

"I'll have you're Guts for Garters... " Was something our mother always used to say, up till now I haven't a clue what it means!  Well in our studio today I've definitely been grafting at Garters!

With it being wedding season, it is flat out hectic. I have personally taken 5 paid orders in the last 48 hours! With countless enquiries to attend to,It's so difficult to get artsy and create new things when you're so, so busy making orders for clients.

Garters are one of the few things that have been high on the list for creativity but not made it from the shop floor! 

But today... Betty Timbo succeeded ...and made our first bespoke Garter, watch this space, there will be more where it came from!

Simple, traditional yet elegant and classy...

This little keepsake Was a joy to design and create I have just added it to our Etsy store, as it's late I will see any interest Tomorow, can't wait....

Features beautiful lace detail, pearls, crystal brooch and glass rhinestones.

So pretty and sparkily, tres' belle...

Much more to come from us so keep peeking up on us! And don't forget to enter our current Giveaway, no clear winner yet! Join in now :)

Best,

Betty
