I'm back and it's back!

I AM BACK! I had a fab holiday in Turkey with my lovely family and my mum and dad. We stayed in a gorgeous villa, but I did miss all my kitchen stuff. We had ONE kitchen knife that was barely sharp! The owner so needs to get herself some Pampered Chef knives!

Having done 9 August shows before I went I came back with a BANG and have done two more shows this week - one was a fundraiser for my odson Josh. And yes I do mean odson - he had a glistening not a christening and I am an odmother not a godmother! Josh is such a lovely little boy and he was diagnosed last October with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. A wonderful friend of Josh's mum, Sharon, hosted a fundraiser for Duchenne Now which is a charity that supports children with DMD http://duchennenow.org/. I was thrilled that we raised over £130 - AMAZING!

And so I am now on to my September shows! I am so excited about launching the new catalogue - it looks so smart and is packed with gorgeous new products. I have shown you some sneak previews, but I was saving one of the best 'til last.

YEEEEESSSSS! IT'S BAAAACKKKKK!!!

Yes our ice cream scoop it's back and it is even better than before:

'The pointed head cuts through hard ice cream and scoops down to the bottom of the carton. Scalloped edges scrape the sides and top. Handle protects your hand from the cold metal. 7½". Dishwasher-safe'


Did you read that???? DISHWASHER SAFE! YAY!!!

So get your orders in - it really is fab!

And once you have your lovely new ice cream scoop why not use it to serve ice cream with this - nom nom!
