I wanted to introduce myself as the new owner now that I have settled in. I am Elise and I am looking forward to helping everyone out with their customizing needs.

If there are products you need that we do not sell, then please tell me what you want to buy as I am always happy to listen to your request and then I might stock that product.

Warmest regards

Elise ^_^

It is with huge excitement that now I am back from my holiday, I can now officially announce that My Little Customs has a brand new owner

Elise is stepping into the fold to be the big boss of My Little Customs – you will all love her, she is a real sweetheart so play nice with the new girl LOL! <3

There will no doubt be a little bit of overlap whilst loose ends are tied up, you can still reach me if needs be so don’t worry! I will not be falling off the face of the earth, if there are any problems just shout

You can reach Elise via her email address: elise@mylittlecustoms.com

I personally am moving onto pastures new, my new venture will be hopefully off the ground by the autumn – if you would like to have a sneaky peak, you can find me here: www.puddnheadpixie.com    My new email address is now robin@puddnheadpixie.com

I have genuinely loved running MLC over the years, have made some amazing friends, have been extremely fortunate to have such wonderful customers and had LOTS of fun and laughter in the process – I am sure you will all join me in wishing Elise the very best of luck, she is a genuinely lovely lady, with great plans for the future and I can’t wait to see what she does with MLC, I know it is going to thrive, prosper and grow – please be assured that I am leaving My Little Customs in extremely capable hands

Lots of love,

Robin xxxx

It is with a heavy heart that I am “officially” announcing that www.mylittlecustoms.com will shortly be up for sale.

I am looking to pursue a brand new venture, My Little Customs keeps me so very busy that I simply do not have the time I need so something has to give. Unfortunately, my baby, My Little Customs is that thing.

Therefore, My Little Customs will be up for sale as a going concern.

Whilst it is for sale, please be assured that I will continue to run it as long as needs be so there will be no interruption in service, no huge closing down sale, no dramas so please DO NOT PANIC!   I will be here as long as I am needed

Full details will be made available shortly, however, in brief the sale will consist of the following:

• The My Little Customs domain names (both .com and .co.uk)
• The current Nylon Sole UK Exclusivity contact will remain with My Little Customs and will be transferred to the new owner
• £2,500 worth of stock
• The My Little Customs Facebook Fan Page
• The My Little Customs Flickr Group
• The official My Little Customs Blog
• Permission to use all photography, imagery, YouTube videos and tutorials which will remain with the site
• Lists and contact details of all suppliers
• Business plan for expansion and new revenue streams (should this be required)
• Full training and support from me for as long as the new owner wishes

My Little Customs still has fantastic potential to grow, it is currently the 3rd largest hair stockist globally and is the largest site in the UK, it has a great customer base, superb reputation, amazing amount of traffic and has a great web presence.

It can be fully relocated to anywhere in the world and would be ideal for someone who wishes to simply run it as is, take it to the next step and realise its full potential or even combine with another complimentary business.

I truly hope it finds a fabby new owner who can continue to provide the best level of service.

The full advert, spec and pricing will be released into the public domain shortly, however, any interested parties are invited to contact me privately beforehand should they wish.

Quick update to say that My Little Customs will be not processing any orders from tomorrow (29th April) through to Monday (May 2nd) as both these days are public holidays and the Post Office is shut!

All orders and emails will be attended to on TUESDAY MAY 3rd.

I hope you all enjoy the long weekend – fingers crossed the sunshine stays!

I am sure the internet will switch over smoothly, and that there will be no interruption … however, as it can supposedly take up to 14 days to switch over, I thought it was worth mentioning just in case!

Secondly, we are headed off on our Easter break next week, therefore, the last day for shipping orders will be THIS FRIDAY, April 8th.

You can of course still place orders during this time but please note, no emails will be answered and all orders placed after April 8th will not be processed and shipped until MONDAY APRIL 18th.

Thank you ALL for your patience and understanding <3

As a solution, I have decided to completely move the website to a new home until we can fix the errors. This will mean that everything should work properly (fingers crossed!) and takes the immediate pressure off my website designer as his wife has recently had a brand new baby

I have MASSIVELY under estimated how long it will take to transfer all the products and information across, I had rather hoped to have the site live by now, however, with well over 400 different products to transfer and with only my 2 hands to work with, things are taking a long time.

I am so focused on trying to get my site sorted that once again, I also find myself falling behind on emails – does anyone know how I can find more hours in the day?!

I really hope you can bear with me during this tricky process, I cannot tell you how much your continuing patience means to me!

For now – here is a sneaky peek of how things are looking …

I bought a large roll of brown parcel paper, some ribbon, went into the loft to dig out the remains of last years wrapping paper, broke open my crafty bits n bobs and set to work:

I love how versatile this way of wrapping is! I snipped some cute little snowflakes out from some scrap paper, stuck little glittery christmas trees on, even went all out with some diamantes LOL

They look beautiful under the tree!

The best part is that I still have lots of gifts to wrap so I can try my hand at these beautiful handmade bows:

~ photo from How About Orange ~ click the photo to view the tutorial!

After making my paper baubles a couple of years ago, this year my daughter and I tried our hand at making some cinnamon apple ornaments.

They turned out brilliantly – so simple and they smell GREAT! I have a sneaking suspicion our dog has eaten a couple of them as we are missing some, however, even though they smell yummy, I shouldn’t imagine that PVA glue tastes all that nice! LOL

There are lots of tutorials online on how to make these, we personally followed Simply Vintage Girl’s Recipe

We also made some 3D snowflakes, they look gorgeous – a bit fiddly but the results are stunning! We followed this tutorial

If you are starting to dig the eco vibe (yeah maaaaaaan) why not make your own garland? Every year I make my own because I am a cheapskate care about the enviroment.

I use bay branches from the tree in our garden (which smell divine) and some ivy to form the basic shape then pretty it up with some fake berries, homemade dried orange slices, sparkly stars and whatever else I have to hand! Costs no more than a couple of pounds but looks very christmassy.

It doesn’t need to be restricted to just a mantel piece, I use it all over the house – from the TV stand to sprigs on our sideboard!

Hopefully I can upload some more photos at some point, however I really must stopping blogging, pack up my orders and get them shipped so I can finish the decorating! YAY!

xoxo
