No64's 'Christmas Launch Night' - Not long now!

Our Christmas Launch Night is now just a month away! 

We wrote about it extensively is last month's Blog (click here to 'read all about it') and so I won't go into detail about it again, apart from to say it's on October 31st, it's from 6pm, and it's invite only (we're only a little shop and it gets very busy).

For those of you on our mailing list you'll have received details regarding how you get your invite, if you're not and you'd like to come you're on last chance saloon I'm afraid and so you'd better email me pronto - clare@no64.co.uk - there are a few invites left, but not many.

I'm so excited to introduce you to No64 Christmas again this year, I'm even excited about giving out our Goody Bag on the night, which I've probably spent far too much time on (& money - don't tell Glenn!)!

Invites will be emailed out next week and so if you've already said you're coming, don't worry, yours is on its way :) 
 

No64 goes to Maison & Objet, Paris

Well we had a fabulous, and exhausting, time at the Maison& Objet trade exhibition in Paris. Our goal was to find a few new suppliers, to meet our existing suppliers, and have a look at next year's products & trends - very exciting! 

Here are a few pics we took....
 

No64 Biscuit House went to Maison&Objet, Paris, September 2019. The largest homewares & interiors exhibition, for traders, in Europe.

Vanilla Fly, Maison&Objet, Paris 2019

We were delighted to meet the girls who founded one of our favourite brands, Vanilla Fly of Denmark.


We found new suppliers, one of them at the eleventh hour, and we can't wait to introduce them to you. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer though as we need to secure our UK retailer status with them, including exclusivity within a certain geological area, as we don't want anyone snaffling them before we get everything signed and sealed! Needless to say you're going to love them - we hope!
 

BRAND NEW scented Candle & Diffuser range from Ester & Erik

What we can tell you is that, after what seems like an age in development, Ester & Erik have finally launched their new scented candle and diffuser range, and they're B E A U T I F U L - so well worth the wait!

The new scented candle and diffuser range from Danish candle maker, Ester & Erik.For those of you who loved the previous Ester & Erik range you'll know that there were 8 different scents. Well we were told, by the designer himself at the show, that 7 of those scents remain, and that it was the design, presentation and packaging that was completely different.

The first thing to say is that they're at the higher end of candle prices, but here's why:

The ceramic jars they're in are beautiful. The solid shiny metal lids just ooze quality, they're also multi-purpose, which is where the amazing new design comes in.

Over-turned the metal lid becomes a candle holder; Ester & Erik have also launched a range of matching unscented pillar candles that you can use the candle holder for (see Burgundy candle in the image).

You can also up-turn the empty scented candle jar itself and, it too, becomes a candle holder (pictured holding one of the new light pink unscented candles).

Early next year Ester & Erik (told us) that they will be releasing scented refills too, which means you'll only have to buy your favourite candle once.

As you can see the diffuser range is based on the same design and, of course, you'll be able to buy refills for these too.

And here's the big news (for us):

UK stockists won't receive their first consignment of these beautiful candles & diffusers until early November, but we told them about our Christmas Launch Night, on October 31st, and they promised that we could get ours by then, they even said they'd make a special batch, just for us, if they weren't ready!

And so if they do deliver you get a UK exclusive product at our Christmas event - how cool is that?! 
 

You asked us for Scarves - and so we got you some!

As you've probably noticed I like to ask you what, if we don't have any, you would like us to stock and recently you've said scarves.

If you read our August Blog I introduced you to Dansk Smykkekunst, our new Danish jewellery supplier, and I menioned they did other fashion accessories. Their jewellery has been a massive hit and so I ordered a selection of their scarves, I got them out on Saturday and we sold half of the entire order that day! 

I guess I'll just have to place another order :) Here's a few examples....

House Doctor are now called 'Society of Lifestyle'

Just a quickie:

As many of you will now know we have recently been selected, as a UK stockist, by Danish lifestyle brand House Doctor. Well, at the beginning of this month, they re-branded as the 'Society of Lifestyle' and so we've updated our website to reflect this change - we're telling you in case you search our brands and can't find House Doctor!

We've published an extensive article about them as we think they're a really interesting and inspiring company, which you can read here by clicking here or simply go back to the Blog menu and select 'Society of Lifestyle UK', and so I'll say no more other than if you're searching for House Doctor it's now called Society of Lifestyle! 

 

Well that's it for another month, I hope you enjoy reading our Blog as much as I enjoy writing them.

Have a wonderful October,

Clare (& Glenn)
