after I ‘broke’ my last website..but no!

I’ve been swithering since before Christmas to revamp the site.  I wanted to separate the Wedding stuff from the general cards and invitations and streamline the site a bit – it was getting a bit crowded and a few people had said it was confusing and hard to find what they were looking for.  So, with the help of Carol (once again), I did a bit of moving, a bit of copying and pasting and a bit of mashing buttons until they did what I wanted them to and et voila!..our new and improved websites.

I’ve added a couple of fun things to them too – my ‘follow me’ twitter logo and my twitter stream…not that I say anything earth shattering you understand, but nice to know they’re there.

All in all, I’m really happy with the site now – it’s clean and easy to navigate and gave me a reason to ignore the housework for a while!

(note:  removed the follow me logo and twitter stream because they wouldn’t work properly and added a facebook and twitter link instead)

Based in Central Scotland, Towel Cake Creations make the most beautiful gift bags that have to be seen (and smelled) to be believed.  Each ‘cake’ is created using local products (where possible) with love and care to the highest possible standard.  Their products range from small wedding favours, which can be seen on our Table Stationery page, to three tier ‘wedding cakes’, and each can be customised to match your theme or colour scheme.

The Wedding Favours are made to order and you can choose from either;

A scented heart shaped mini bath drop and a scented heart shaped mini soap presented in an organza bag tied with a ribbon

or

A scented heart shaped mini bath drop and a scented heart shaped mini soap presented in a tissue lined water silk paper bag in either gold or silver.

I had a meeting at The City Hotel in Dunfermline on Sunday and now samples of our stationery – both wedding and other occasion – can be seen on display in their reception area.  Many thanks to the management at the hotel for this opportunity.  This is a lovely little hotel right at the bottom of the high street, near the Abbey and Glen Pavillion Pittencrieff Park, originally built in 1774 and it has still retained it’s olde-worlde feel whilst incorporating modern features necessary in this day and age.

February’s going to be a busy month for us, starting with a fantastic new idea in Wedding Fayres….an online wedding fayre, hosted on Facebook by With Bells On and Your Wedding at Loch Lomond on Sunday, 6th February.  If you’re a bride or groom to be and would like to ‘attend’ this venture, or if you’re a wedding vendor and would like to participate, email Kirsteen at onlineweddingfair@groups.facebook.com and ask to added to the group (it’s a closed group and open to invitees only).

Next up will be the Balerno Craft Fair on Saturday, 12th February.  I love doing this craft fair, and it’s the only regular fair I attend.  I’ve done this fair for a few years now and I’ve got to know the other crafters and a fair few of the regular customers.  There’s always a lovely atmosphere and, of course, there’s the added benefit of the Farmer’s Market outside too.

Then comes our busy week – 3 wedding fayres in one week!  I must’ve been mad.  On Sunday 20th February, we’ll be at the Pitbauchlie House Hotel in Dunfermline from 12 til 4pm exhibiting at their Wedding Viewing Day.  On Thursday, 24th February we head up to Perth to the Ramada Inn, exhibiting from 7pm til 9pm.  Then on Sunday, 27th February we’re exhibiting from 1pm til 5pm at the Loch Lomond Wedding Show at the Duck Bay Marina, Loch Lomond.

I think I might need a wee holiday in March!

This new range is a bit different from my usual style, but I have to say, I really do like them. This example is Erika, a square invitation made of white linen card, embellished with a black ribbon and highlighted with a monochrome daisy with a diamante centre. I’ve made up Erika in a section of the range of this design…showing the invitation, name place card (two styles), favours and cake box, table number card and table plan.
