German Fair

So we are now back in the office after a week away travelling and visiting Germany for our first European retail show.

We left fairly early, 7:30am to be precise, and started our first road trip of the year! All the preparation was just about finished and the van loaded with stand and stock just hours before we left. Anyway, we did it, obviously with the help of our fantastic, JS team! Thankfully Jane and I spent the entire journey in hysterics and a whole 14 hours later we arrived! 

We got to our first B&B with still an hour and a half to go to the exhibition grounds, Das Fürstliche Gartenfest, Schloss Fasanerie. The first day was our set up day making sure the stand was complete and in pristine condition for all our customers. The show started at 10am each day and we were surrounded by such lovely people, the highlight has to be having a food stand opposite us that also sold prosecco, strawberries and cream! What a bonus! 

We love seeing our customers enjoying our products, even our little ones!

Above is the complete stand, have to say we thought it was a rather lovely, British looking stand! Who would have thought the weather would be so cold too, we ended up wearing most of Carina Hildebrandt's clothing, thank god she over packed!

Here's Carina Hildebrandt's stand. Note; very warm clothing!

So there you have it, the first road trip of the year! Stay tuned for our next adventures...

Bank Holiday Bonanza!

This bank holiday we're praying for sunshine; the past few weeks have been dismal to say the least, and we want to make the most of the weather before Autumn hits! 

Before the nice weather is over, why not snap up one of our new children's deckchairs? These are by far the cutest addition to our summer range, and are perfect for the garden, beach, or even for the corner of a bedroom or playroom! They come with a choice of 5 sling colours, and can be personalised with the wording of your choice- nicknames are welcome!

   

But deckchairs aren't the only items perfect for the sunny weather, why not take a look at our gardening products? We have watering cans, seed boxes, tray and pots and more.

This weekend we have an exclusive discount being offered to our newsletter subscribers- sign up before midnight on Monday to receive your code the very next day!*

   

*Offer excludes sale items.

Mother’s Day

Here at Jonny’s Sister we have launched our new garden range just in time for Mother’s Day! The pastel coloured watering cans and little planters are the perfect personalised gift from both children and adults to give to their Mums! Whether it’s a joke between mother and daughter, or a little message telling them just how much they love them, we have the perfect prezzie...

As spring is on its way, lets pray for sunshine and head outside this Mother’s Day!

How are you spending Sunday the 15^th?

Jonny's Sister Exclusive

With the arrival of this unexpected sunny British weather, comes a burst of new and exclusive Jonny’s Sister products perfect for the summer season.

Why not surprise somebody with a limited edition gift? As summer is the season of bountiful babies, we have come up with a range of portrait silhouettes perfect for showing off your new addition to the clan. We found that by digitally converting images and producing them onto burlap (which is the rattan-like material), when framed they look wonderful.

As well as the silhouettes, we have expanded our fabric family here at Jonny’s Sister adding letter bunting and several cushions- including our new favourite two tone letters. We feel that personalisation is the perfect finishing touch when giving a gift, so with our limited edition range you’ll be truly spoilt for choice.

Although our products will only be available for a short time, if you like them enough then maybe they’ll make a come back in the near future, or even stay for good!

You're Hired!

*Please insert The Apprentice theme tune here*

In June 2012 I started the Apprenticeship scheme, and now I am very pleased to announce that I have finished! Yippeeee

It doesn't seem like a year ago that I started at Jonny's Sister, but in my time here I have learnt so much and have established what my strengths and weaknesses are within business. I have now been taken on full time and keep bugging Jane for a fancy job title (I'm hoping for customer services queen or something similar!). People keep asking me if it feels any different now that I have finished my apprenticeship, and although my job role has stayed the same I now feel that I have an increased amount of responsibility within the company and I want to push myself further so I can continue to learn more. 

Big thank you to Janey for taking me on full time and here's to the next year to come... Who knows what will have changed!

Lady Jane Sugar - "You're Hired!"
