Hi Everyone and Happy New Year,

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Year and that you've managed to enjoy a break with your family and friends over the last few weeks of gorgeous summer weather.  This month's newsletter is just a brief update on some new products that have arrived and an upcoming event we have planned.

New products to inspire in 2010

Bunting Flags
These gorgeous paper Bunting Flags are the perfect way to set the scene for all of your summer festivities.

Sandwich Flags
Once the height of sophistication, Sandwich Flags are now back in vogue.  Nothing screams "afternoon tea" like a club sandwich delicately held together by a decorated toothpick.  More recently, and in the wake of the cupcake craze sweeping the world, they have been renamed "Cupcake Picks" or "Cupcake Toppers".

Stripes and Floral Cake Stands
"How gorgeous!  My Nana had one just like it when I was a child" is what we hear all the time about this beautiful, tow tier, china Cake Stand.  Easy to assemble and compact for storage, these Cake Stands are a must for every beautiful table arrangement.

Mary's Market

Little Housewife will be exhibiting at the first Mary's Market of 2010 being held in Freeman's Bay on Saturday 27 February.  We will be offering a wide range of products including over stocks, end of lines and samples at very special prices.

We will also be releasing a new children's range from America at the market which we are very excited about (more info coming soon) which we will also be offering at a very special introductory price.

More details about the market to follow a little closer to the time but if you are in the Auckland area on the last weekend of February we'd love to see you.  Visit http://www.marysmarket.co.nz/ for more information on the market itself.

That's all from us this month.  We've got LOTS of exciting things planned for 2010 - tonnes and tonnes of new and inspiring products, exciting and creative competitions and some great subscriber only discounts so watch this space.

And remember, we'd love to see the photos of what you've been up to!  Have you used any Little Housewife products to create a gorgeous and memorable day?  Perhaps you bought some Little Housewife Cookie Cutters for your baby shower?  Was your wedding cake a beautiful tower of cupcakes using the Little Housewife Cupcake Wraps?  We would LOVE to see the results of your hard work and add them to our gallery.  Just send us an email at info@littlehousewife.co.nz and we'll get your photos uploaded.

Enjoy this gorgeous summer weather and as always, thank you all for your support.
