All the best for 2009!

Well as 2008 comes to a close, it certainly has been a year of new beginnings. Wedding and Baby only being launched just recently has achieved it goal of being a functioning online shop. There are still lots of things to add and change as we continually develop over the coming months.

Also new for us is Charming Angels - childrens jewellery making parties in the west of scotland. More about that in 2009. But for some info on this check it out here http://www.weddingandbaby.co.uk/Charmingangels.htm

Hoping all our past and future customers - all the best for 2009!

In the press about Birth Trauma!

At Wedding and Baby we are very excited about being in contact with a journalist from Pregnancy & Birth Magazine. They are doing a feature on Post Birth Complications and featuring us! I had a lovely chat with Catherine the journalist as I told her my birth story, and how I got involved in creating jewellery for the Birth Trauma Asscociation.

Within an hour of doing the interview we had our first order for the Birth Trauma Jewellery, and 2 days later our second one came through!

We will keep you posted on our press coverage and let you know when it hits the shops!

Birth Trauma Association Charity Jewellery

Just started to put a few jewellery designs for the Birth Trauma Association Charity Jewellery. We are giving 10% of the proceeds from the sale of these items to the BTA. The BTA is very close to our hearts here at wedding and baby. Although our son was born perfectly healthy, it was myself who lost a life threatening amount of blood during the birth while my husband watched it all happen.

The BTA provides support and advice to those women and their partners who have been traumatised by a difficult childbirth. It also focuses on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as well as Post Natal Depression. Please visit their site to find out more http://www.birthtraumaassociation.org.uk/index.htm

At the moment we are in the early stages of launching the handmade jewellery, but to date we have

Love,Believe, Hope Sterling Silver Necklace - £17

Mother and Child Sterling Silver Necklace - £17

Hematite Heart Sterling Silver Necklace - £15

Not Forgotten - Baby Loss ( Angel Baby SIDS) Bracelet - £15.99

Compassion One Off Bracelet - £12

Please purchase from the link below

We plan to have Keyring/Bag Charms, Mobile Phone Charm and a Charm Bracelet launched soon.

If you have suffered a traumatic birth you will no doubt help this charity, if you have never suffered a traumtic birth then please support them in the hope that you will never have to experince what some of these women have gone through.

Xmas is coming!

Well it has been a long time since I managed to get some news up onto the blog. The charity fayre went well and we sold most of our display. It was a good night. Although I returned home to find my little boy very ill with an ear infection - mothers guilt!

Since then we have been working on the creating charity jewellery for the Birth Trauma Association. While having my son (who is now 3) I lost 4 pints of blood and ended up with PND. So this charity is close to our hearts as it provides a service to the many women who are traumatised by birth and helps them on the road to recovery.

We have a survey set up and if you have a spare minute please complete this - so that we create the correct jewellery for the BTA range.
