Time to plan for the future

I'm off to Kings Sutton this morning, with 3 weeks left until the Cuddle My Soul event, all stall holders booked and confirmed, I am planning where, what, how it's all going to fit in and hopefully, work beautifully!


I can't wait to meet you at the event on Saturday 22nd October.

Malaysian Memories will be at Cuddle My Soul - will you?

Yolanda Tapping of Malaysian Memories has taken a stall at Cuddle My Soul and we are salivating at the thought!

Yolanda saw the article on Cuddle My Soul in the Through The Letterbox Mag & thought she'd see if we were interested in having her...

Too right!  Even though we are now at our limit for stall holders, I love Malaysian food and this is something different! 

Yolanda has delivered over 200 authentic Malaysian dinner parties locally - you can even book her for a business lunch - how cool is that?  The only function Yolanda doesn't cater for is weddings. 


OK, my mouth is watering now - time to stop thinking about food and focus... Yolanda also has a range of authentic clothes and accessories that she brings back with her from Penang, these will be available to buy on the day.

Your opportunity to rescue cards and gift wrap from the mediocrity of the high street

Elizabeth Wilson has taken a stall at the Cuddle My Soul event - and quite frankly, we're delighted!

Phoenix Trading publishes an exclusive range of gorgeous Greeting Cards, Wrap and other Stationery accessories, including a Christmas range which in previous years has raised over £1m for charities such as Cancer Research UK and Children's Hospices UK. Our cards are printed in the UK, and are of exceptional quality and represent great value.

Elizabeth told me.. "I've been a Trader for nine years now and I love it! I run my own business on my own terms, working with a delightful company and a gorgeous product. We need many more Traders to help us rescue card buyers from the mediocraty of the High Street, so if you think that could be you, do get in touch!"
 
I absolutely love the card organiser folders - they're beautiful and incredibly practical too.  You can buy all your cards in advance, put in their date order in the folder and never have to worry about finding a card again!


Arbonne Consultant Ali Jones to join Cuddle My Soul

I'm delighted that Ali Jones will be having a stall at the Cuddle My Soul event - Ali is a consultant for Arbonne - Pure, safe, natural Swiss skincare, cosmetics and health supplements.   

Ali also run parties, pamper events, fairs, 1-2-1 consultations and coffee mornings - if you'd like to book her or find out more, please visit her website link.

Ali and her business partner Margaret Collis are currently offering a fantastic business opportunity for people to join their team and build a business of their own, marketing Arbonne’s amazing products to family and friends - this is definitely the future, people generating their own independant income streams whilst being part of a bigger team and enjoying the support and benefits that come from working with others.

I haven't tried any Arbonne products myself, friends and family members have and they all RAVE about them - I'm looking forward to sampling the products at the event.

Businesses Working Together

Did you see the joint ventures article in Through The Letterbox?

I write the B2B articles for TTLB and this month was all about Cuddle My Soul - of course, I wanted to give the local businesses some exposure and let everyone know about the event - but also because Cuddle My Soul is a fine example of what can be achieved with people working together, in business as a team - to serve a need in the community, get to know each other, as local businesses and of course members of the community.

I've just had some lovely feedback from Gary at Touch Of Pine in Bicester - Gary said 'A lot of people have mentioned the event' which is really great news and I'm a happy bunny :D

I think community events like Cuddle My Soul are the future - after all, it's a great way of shopping, doing business, networking, meeting new people and learning and having fun - all under one roof.

Cuddle My Soul is experiential and we know that experiences are longer lasting.  My intention is that everyone enjoys a fantastic experience at the event and leaves feeling satisfied, moved, inspired and with their soul having been cuddled. :D

See you on the 22nd! 

Always with Love - Leesa X
