Thanks to everyone who supported the BLISS baby charity ball

To everyone who attended and/or supported the BLISS baby charity ball which took place on 17th September at Carden Park, Cheshire a HUGE thank you!


Le Funk were the band for the evening and they were utterly sensational ... we had so many compliments about our choice of band it was overwhelming so a special thank you to the band for being SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good at what they do. If anyone is looking for a band for a function you should get in touch with Dave at: wearelefunk@yahoo.co.uk 


We had some great stallholders attend as well which gave people plenty of things to browse and we had a couple of raffles and a silent auction as well.


This event was also in support of The Cheshire and North Wales Human Milk Bank.


Thanks again everyone x

Charity Auction donations from Jacques Designs

We are very lucky to have had these amazing donations for our charity auction from Jacques Designs - these are just gorgeous and we think they will be snapped up in a flash!

All 3 signs are 38x 38 cm

The RRP on these is £45 each

Welcome to our home

Grey background with cream and black writing. 

Poem reads: some houses try to hide the fact that children shelter there, ours boasts of it quite openly, the signs are everywhere, for smears are on the windows, little smudges on the door, I guess I should apologise for toys all over the floor, but I sat down with the children and we played and laughed and read, so if the windows do not shine, their eyes will shine instead.

To my children sign

Cream background, grey and black writing. 

Poem reads: I have been trusted with your care to raise and guide your ways, to help you with your every need  and love you all your days, sometimes you think that I am mean, trust me- for when you're grown, you will be mean like me when you have children of your own, I will hang this in a special place so you will always know, sometime I have to tell you "no" because I love you so!  

(j morse 1996)

A grey sign

Cream wording that reads "life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain"
