dusk Bridal Fair 2012 – 10-11 March {appearances}

16 Feb

I’m gearing up for the dusk Bridal Fair 2012 at the moment. (Actually it would be fair to say I’m struggling to find my mojo at the moment, but I’m trying hard!). I’m at the same booth as last year (43) and really looking forward to it. The dusk Bridal Fair always feels less frantic to me than some of the others and that’s great because it gives me time to really chat to the visitors which, of course, is the reason I exhibit there in the first place!

I’m also quite excited to be launching my latest candle fragrance at the fair – and displaying some candles in my recently acquired reclaimed glassware (I love the Salvos!). No lit candles for me at the fair but the cold ‘throw’ (fragrance strength) on this one is good enough.

I also intend to launch a new range of wedding stationery which I hope to be able to offer eventually as a DIY option.

So lots to look forward to … now I just have to get my inspiration in gear! :-)

This year the dusk Bridal Fair has some super prizes on offer and all the usual quality exhibitors, fashion shows and displays. If you visit then be sure to come and say hi!

I Spy Photo Game {Wedding | Party | Printable Freebie}

My WordPress analytics for 2011 showed that this post received more hits than any other of my posts last year, so I decided it was time for a follow up!

Let’s start with a basic Google search here. What an incredible number of styles and wording there are around!

I still think that this game is a great ice breaker and gives the kids something to do at a wedding. It would also make a great activity for those big special occasion parties – you know the ones: wedding anniversaries, special age parties, etc. Just change the words around or write your own rhyme (I’m absolutely no good at that!) and you’re good to go.

As a special thank you for taking the time to read my post I’ve decided to give away a printable I Spy. I found this rhyme on an image in the Google search, but unfortunately I am unable to find the original source so if these are your words please let me know so that I can credit you properly! The file you download contains two different colourways as shown below, it comes in a zipped PDF format and is for personal use only.

(sorry for the quality) Left is pastel, right is a navy/red colourway.

Enjoy!

2012 New Ranges – Kids Party Invites & Accessories, New Wedding Stationery and Palm Wax Melts

11 Jan Zoorific Party Set Image 400px

Hello, and welcome to Just Jane in 2012!

For some time now I’ve had some printable kids party invites and accessories available in my store, but I thought I’d try my hand at printing some myself and seeing how people like them. I have printed out a couple of ‘fill-in’ invitation sets and accessory sets in a new range I plan to introduce this year. These items will be offered at my next market stall – 20th January, Central Walk Markets, Joondalup, WA – for customers to buy at a price they feel is fair for the quality. This is all in the name of market research … I’m a little bit scared but hope the results will give me good feedback. (more…)

Christmas Cards – 2011

25 Sep

So we are into September now and I’ve started on my Christmas cards. It may seem early, but I know from experience how time can creep up on you!

So far I’ve managed to use up the remnants of last year’s papers and I’m very pleased with the results:

I’ve also done a bit of work on another design new for this year:

I’m looking for new papers and new inspiration now. What have you seen around that you like? Are you getting your plans in place for Christmas?

Introducing … Soy Wax Candles

18 Aug Large Square Container Soy Wax Candles

After much anticipation (well, in our house anyway) I am finally able to announce the new addition to Just Jane … soy wax candles.

Candles by Just Jane

These are something we have made at home for some time now, but after several friends commented on how lovely they were when given them as gifts we finally decided to give them a go as a part of the business. It’s very exciting although a little daunting too.

The candles are made of 100% soy wax and for now they are all container candles – hand poured into lovely glassware. In the fullness of time we will expand the range and we hope to introduce pillar candles eventually. Soy wax is a completely eco-friendly product and sustainable which makes chosing candles made of this vegetable based wax an environmentally sound one. I’ve included below a little chart which shows the differences between burning a regular paraffin blend candle (what most mass produced candles are made from) and a soy wax candle.

Paraffin vs Soy Wax Chart

My candles are all hand poured by me and made with love.

And the really great thing about them is that they can be decorated and personalised to suit your requirements! The baby bulbs make ideal bonbonniere/placecard style gifts for weddings and special events and the larger ones are great for gifts for those special people in your life.

Baby Bulb Candles - Decorated

We are starting small with just 3 styles but as the business grows so will the range.

I would love for you to visit www.justjane.com.au and have a good look at them. I even have a store set up where you can order them online and then I’ll be in touch to discuss the finer details.
