Well it certainly is Autumn, the leaves have turned colour and the mornings are getting frosty. Hard to believe where the Summer has gone.

Our Summer was spent enjoying many days out to coastal towns across West Wales. Surrounded by some very special colourful places has inspired BODOLI to create ‘Our Towns’ collection.

We have brought pebbles to life using vibrant distinctive colours to create these recognisable towns.

They will certainly brighten up your home and create a feeling of nostalgia towards the unique towns that we all love visiting. We can create any town you wish; already the collection includes Conwy, Llandudno, Newcastle Emlyn and Cardigan. Click here to view the collection

We exhibited at the National Eisteddfod once again in Abergavenny. It was lovely to meet new customers and catch up with old. Our Limited Edition Welsh Ladies enjoyed their time at the Eisteddfod. It was in the Fenni where the Welsh costume originated with Lady Lanover. We nearly have the complete set of the Welsh tartans for the ladies, so don’t miss out and get yours. We are only making a 100 of each.

Our workshops are still very popular not only for children but also adults. We ran our first adults workshop last weekend. It was great fun. Some made 3 frames each as Christmas presents. If you’re interested in the workshops email us at [email protected]

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you!!!!! BODOLI now offer chidren’s pebble art parties. We had lots of fun hosting our first children’s party for Casi who was 8 years old. 13 girls came along full of enthusiasm to create their own pebble art frame.

We decorated the workshop with banners and balloons and every child got to wear a BODOLI apron before getting started.

BODOLI welcomed all the children to the workshop and showed the various frames that she had created. Rhiannon showed how to create a picture and explained what the different pebbles were used for.

The children couldn’t wait to get started. They had fantastic ideas. The created a variety of designs including Father Xmas, Football and Our Family. The children had an opportunity to choose their own pebbles, paint and decorate with felt and pieces of wood.

Whilst the artwork was drying after being glued, the children ate their sandwiches (Casi’s mum had prepared) and sang Happy Birthday to Casi.

The children were very excited to frame their artwork. They loved receiving their frames to take home along with their BODOLI gift bag.

The children’s party includes party invites, creating a frame to take home, BODOLI Gift bag, workshop decorated and drinks during the party. A party normally lasts for 2 hours. The cost for up to 10 children is £150. For more information or to check availability of dates please email [email protected]

We also host Hen Parties and Parties for adults if you fancy doing it yourself!

Hip-ip Hoorray!!!

We had a lovely day on Sunday meeting some beautiful Brides at the Boutique Wedding Fayre at The Ivy Bush Hotel, Carmarthen. This successful event allows local business to promote their work and market themselves to Wedding parties.

We were fortunate to have a stand and display a range of our work. The exciting news was that BODOLI have expanded and launched some new product ranges tailored for weddings.

Brides are always looking for that something different; so we had unique wedding favours such as organic lip balms, organic shaving oils, stamped spoons and printed chocolates.

They were all very popular along with our Wedding signing frame that Brides love https://www.bodoli.co.uk/product/wedding-signing-frame/ Better than a guest book that gets stored up the attic, display your guests signatures in your home as a keepsake of your special day.

We now offer a great discount on spoons as Wedding favours, so if you like the vintage inspired spoons, have your guests names stamped on them and give them something special as a thank you.

Always stuck for what to buy the Best man, Father of the Groom? We now have personalised silver cufflinks. Be traditional and have their initals on there or be more daring? https://www.bodoli.co.uk/product/silver-cufflinks/

Check out our website for more Wedding gifts https://www.bodoli.co.uk/product-category/personalised-gifts/wedding-gifts/

We’ve been on some exciting road trips recently to deliver BODOLI frames to shops across Wales.

They sell a range of beautiful Welsh gifts and home ware, so next time your in Cardiff make sure you call in with them. www.bodlon.co.uk

Lowri Steffan has re opened Dots in Aberystwyth. Many excited local shoppers cannot wait to see this fantastic shop re open. Dots opened it’s doors today. There is a huge range of BODOLI frames to be on display within the shop, and we are looking forward to promote our Wedding Signing frames their too. Dots offers wedding styling and has wedding items available to hire. www.stiwdiodots.co.uk

I wonder where our next road trip will take us?

 

What an exciting week celebrating the Wales wins in the Rugby World Cup. I had the pleasure of meeting rugby star Gareth Davies who scored the only try against England and the first try against Fiji. Gareth Davies agreed to sign some frames for a fantastic cause. I also met his famous dog Pete, who was very friendly and loved my feet!!!!

Gwesty’r Emlyn Hotel in Newcastle Emlyn hosted a Think Pink Ladies Night on Friday 2^nd October and was raising money for Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli. The evening was a huge success where many local ladies came to support the evening.

Two signed rugby frames were up for auction and one went for £220 and the other for £185. Another three people also wanted the frames so BODOLI and Gareth Davies will have to meet again to sign the frames. In total the signed frames raised £840 for the local Breast cancer unit in Llanelli.

BODOLI was delighted to support such a great local charity.

BODOLI has been busy meeting Welsh rugby star Ken Owens, attending the National Eisteddfod and launching the website.
