So ...... we haven't blogged in absolutely ages!
But it's a New year full of resolutions and promises, along with fresh starts, so here goes....
Having sent some pretty items out this year for bloggers to review, I realised how much I enjoyed reading the odd blog here and there, and the ones I actually enjoy the most are the ones that are written true-fully and in a down to earth way that the writer would speak.
So that's me, no airs or graces, just what you see (or read) is what you get. I absolutely adore my job and am extremely passionate about my business, which has grown quite a bit this past year and hoping it continues this year too!
Who am I? My name is Katie, owner of ihearthomes, home of all things Shabby Chic, Vintage & rustic etc...to be precise, lots of lovely gifts and homeware. We stock items from lots of fabulous UK wholesalers as well as importing from further afield and using some local handmade businesses that make items for us too.
If you need a gift for a Birthday, Christmas (this is a big part of what we do!), Valentines Day, Mothers Day, Easter, Fathers Day, New Baby, Anniversary.....you get the picture....lots of lovely gifts for everyone- especially the females in your life. We also have a fab range of home decor just for you, a little treat to cheer you up, especially in dreary January.
Now I am a January baby (or was when I was a baby?), i'm now a fully fledged January adult, and January is always one of those months that just goes on forever isn't it? A long month, waiting for payday, always cold and rainy and my birthday is on the 16th- very often known as 'officially the most depressing day of the year' when the credit card statements land on the doormat of many! Never mind, I can't complain, my family and I have just got back from an amazing mini holiday at Disneyland Paris for a few days, and we had an amazing time, albeit very tiring!
Lots of great rides and lovely food. I'm hoping the 8 miles a day we walked kept the additional calories at bay, but haven't actually checked as yet!
Anyway I digress- I do that a lot!
Back to dreary January, fancy a treat that will cheer you up, something lovely to look forward to at the end of the month? Yes? Have you seen our gorgeous #happymail boxes...these are our monthly subscription boxes that we launched last year, you subscribe, pay once per month, then at the end of the month we send you a box full of beautiful little gifts, ranging from signs, hearts, stationary, chocolate, handmade soaps, wax tarts, candles etc etc, they really are a lovely little treat and start at just £10/month. We offer monthly boxes of £10, £15 and £25, and one off boxes for a little more. We also offer yearly boxes that you pay upfront for and receive a box per month, plus one free box and a free gift on your first box. Here is a picture of one of our previous boxes.
We have different ranges each month with the #happymail boxes and so far some popular themes have been 'Afternoon Tea' , 'Pretty Pastels' , 'Paris is always a good idea', 'Baby it's cold outside' plus lots more. If you fancy receiving a box of goodies through the post at the end of the month, just click

This January our theme is 'Pretty Shabby Chic'
Here are a few new items for you to take a look at, remember Valentines Day is just around the corner.....

Anyway thats me for now, and i'm hoping to write a blog post a little (lot) more regularly then I have been doing up until now!
