Simple but effective
Thanks to Jan of Essential Images Jan for taking this amazing picture of a gorgeous couple who recently married at Careys Manor. They chose plain ivory delphinium petals for their natural confetti in cones handmade with mulberry paper. Simple yet so effective!

Think local first, buy local when you can, be a local!
It is great when a customer calls and says "it is so nice to be able to buy local product".
Comments like this leave me with a feeling of satisfaction and I would like to say It promotes a sense of community. If you want to get to know your neighbours and others in your community, supporting local businesses and spreading the word is a great way to do that.
Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation which in general terms means a reduction in environmental impact.
Local businesses often hire people with a better understanding of the products they are selling and take more time to get to know customers.
Local businesses are owned by people who live in the community, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the community’s future.
One lovely lady wanted to order some organza bags of natural confetti for a wedding and needed to call me to ask some questions as I had a made a teeny mistake on my Website and she was having problems ordering exactly what she wanted. We had a lovely conversation and I was able to supply her with these lovely bags of natural confetti She was thrilled that she was able to buy local and speak to somebody who knew what they were talking about (hopefully)!!
