Paper Themes bespoke Poster

I've been given an amazing opportunity to review the most beautiful personalised service. 
Paper times offers a bespoke service to make to order sentimental art work or personal focal points for rooms. There website offers posters for many occasions and you can pick from contemporary or something a little more edgy. I personally love the feel of the poster I chose.

There history is mostly wedding stationary but they say

The Paper Themes brand has been in the wedding stationery market for over 100 years. We have been successful at designing and providing personalised wedding stationery for happy brides to be across the land (and overseas!) With the growing demand for one-stop-shops- because we’re all doing more, but with no extra time we decided to get together and formulate a solution to this problem.
With a talented team of designers dedicated to creating quality and style, we are always introducing new stationery, accessories decorations and even wedding advice! There's no need for an expensive wedding planner when Paper Themes has everything from wedding stationery to advice on best man speeches!


It comes wrapped in a cylindrical tube with tissue paper rolled up to protect the high quality print. Some have a choice of colour background and others are set tones. The writing on this picture was totally personal and also received proofs before the print was sent to me so you can see and make changes of you wish. I was so happy and had one minor change which was happily done for me and sent. It's perfect for a 1st wedding anniversary present as its paper and myself and my husband have said this is an extension of the paper gifts we exchanged. It will defiantly be framed and put in the bedroom. 



As you can see the poster has mine and my husbands name plus marital. It also has our wedding date with the venue we exchanged vows. It's very vintage inspired to me and as I was picking the style the writing in the middle just screamed "gatsby" to me. So I really did think its lovely and striking, really happy with the personal service. It felt that I was  being given a beautiful gift and also the message within the poster is lovely and handwritten by Liz the maker.

So if your looking for a personalised service with a bit of a difference, stylish and also a decorative focal point for your home.


So lovely service offered with loads of choice on the website and I'm really grateful to be given this lovely opportunity to review. Plus have such a lovely addition to our home.
Thank you Paper Themes.

Bagza Character



So wow seems like so long ago that High street fashion week was around, i admit i didn't attend and was really so lucky to make contacts with some amazingly talented designers. Now this lovely company Bagza Character you may remember for its adorable bespoke tote bags, one of which was presented to This morning presenter Holly Willoughby. 

Bagza Character is run by the lovely Jackie. She will take your features and passions then bring them to life in the character "betsy blossom" whom is the basis for all the Bagza bags. I was so lucky to personally email Jackie and really get to know this amazing lady and she offered to make my own bag. Now i was and am so extremely grateful to Jackie as to those of you whom know me personally. This bag will be accompanying me to probably every hospital admission i have and my major surgery. I will update in a separate post.  So this bag is so special to me, as I'm sure all the Bagza bag owners equally love theres. 

So here is my beautiful bag 


There is lovely glitter and sparkles on her too but as myself and Jackie had suspected the cameras just do not do her justice as to the amazing sparkle. Its not over the top, nor does the glitter shed and its placed in specific points so to draw the main features to the forefront and make it just sing class. Its personal in every sense and you just feel so proud to own one when it arrives. 


The detail is amazing, Jackie went on basically my Facebook picture as i have a headshot as my profile and really was a genius as this is a real bespoke creatively all down to jackie, the only thing i inputted was my eye-colour. As they are quite a specific green and she got it spot on. Ive had many friends enquire to be put in touch with Jackie and my own cousins in South Africa are begging for one to be sent over as my aunt is currently here on a visit. This is the love and talent Jackie's creations bring.
It is a long wearing durable tote bag and the materials used to create the image i can see have been sealed professionally so they will not remove in any time soon. She will be a precious member of my bag collection for many years.  I do hope Jackie will not mind me making my face my new avatar as I'm not blowing my trumpet but she has made me looks stunning. LOL 


So as you can see my name is on the bag and also my passions which as a beauty blogger and lover she has incorporated plus all my favourite colours. The daisy she did not know is my favourite flower with gerberas. Daisies have a very special meaning to me as i actually received a daisy necklace from my best friend when i was a teenager for my birthday and ever since its been a special meaning and i have received blue daisies when i was very sick in my teens. So she has really tapped into me unknowingly.
Also the hair band was the part i just jumped for joy at as I'm very passionate about ornate hair pieces and would love to own more hair jewellery to show off, as i just love the era's of tudor head-dresses etc so its really so amazing that I'm just speechless. Im in love with my bag honestly and my husband who is not usually very in-to what i do or in depth, he obviously is proud of what i achieve. However with Jackie's bag arrival, came and took a very lengthy look at her work, marvelling in it and giving her high praise indeed.  

I really cannot thank Jackie at Bagza Character enough, so I'm going to say again and with a heartfelt massive sending of hugs..... Thank you Jackie. xx
