Happy New Year for 2010!

Happy New Year to all our customers!

We hope you had a truly blessed Christmas and a Joyful New Year, we have been very busy at Simple Blessings - adding new stock and preparing for Easter, Holy Communion and Mothering Sunday. Our handmade rosaries have become even more popular, and the artisan (Emma Jane Brown) will be creating some Holy Communion rosaries for the children and Wedding rosaries for throughout the year. We're looking forward to seeing the new designs, and don't forget - if you have any special requests (bead colour or size) just email us and we'll do our utmost to help.

We will be stocking Holy Communion rosaries, My First Missals and Catholic Bibles - the photographs are being processed as we speak, so hopefully they should be on the web site in no time!

We currently have a New Year sale in progress at the moment - our first sale for over three years, we thought it was time to sell off some older stock to make way for something new and refreshing! The sale is doing well and many of you are buying the last of our rosaries. We

also have some angels, christmas decorations and rosary pouches on sale too. So don't miss out on the fun, dive in and see what bargains you can find on our sale pages! *Take me to the SALE Page please *

We have also added a new range of Jim Shore gifts to our ever increasing selection of gifts at Simple Blessings, many of our customers have requested if we could stock some of his work and we have been fortunate enough to offer a sample of his extensive work. We have been thrilled to do so! Jim's work is absolutely gorgeous and such a treasured gift for anyone. At the moment we have available an angel holding a flower basket, a musical three kings/magi figure, santa statues, a praying angel and a nativity angel.

We hope to increase our collection throughout the year, so please keep checking back for updates. All Jim Shore gifts have been a huge success over the Christmas period and if you've never seen his work before, have a quick look and see what the fuss is about - we hope you'll be delighted with what you see! *Jim Shore Gifts - please take me to his page*

We have also added some new angel statues to our Angel Page, including the beautiful Giving and Healing Angel by Karen Hahn. These have been so popular that we have very low stock on both items, and we can't stock them again as our supplier doesn't do them anymore! So, if you want the Karen Hahn angels, please don't leave it too late, we don't want anyone to be disappointed.

Our Baptism and Christening range is steadily growing too and we're thrilled to see the new sterling silver 'my first rosary' being the most popular item on this page. The rosaries come displayed in such a cute heart shaped rosary box, we knew our customers would adore them! Over the next few weeks we're hoping to add a few more beautiful gifts for the Baptism or Christening celebrations, so you can be sure of choosing something truly special for the big day.

Please don't forget, if there is anything you would like to see on our site but cannot find it - we're here to help. Just email or call and we'll do our utmost to help you find the perfect gift. Thank you again for all your loving comments and kind words about our customer service and web site - we love to hear from you and it's always a pleasure to serve you!

Wishing you much love and joy in your life, God bless, The Simple Blessings Team x x
