Hello everyone – I seem to have had a few weeks of technical issues – not ideal when you life revolves around technology, writing a blog and launching a new online store!  First blogger locked me out for a week and then last weekend the phone lines went down in our street meaning no internet access for four days!

Technical dramas solved today I thought I would share with you my latest fun with photography – I joined in with a 30 day photography challenge hosted by White Peach Photography.
The idea is to take one photo a day based around the topic of the day.  We began last week on the 1st June so here is my first weeks worth of photos!  These photo’s have been taken on a combination of my digital SLR and my iphone (using instagram – my latest obsessions!)

What will week two bring!  If you would like to find out more visit White Peach Photography here.

Finally it has arrived.  After many months of planning and loads of encouragement from family and friends I am thrilled to announce the launch of my new website and online store.

Sweet Style is really a dream come true for me – what began 2 years ago as a blog about a new house we were building somehow has turned itself into something entirely of its own and it has nothing to do with building a house – funny the direction life can take when you find something you are passionate about.
Mrs A In the Cove – the blog – will continue as I hope to be able to take everyone along with me on this journey into the world of Sweet Style.  I will continue to blog about the girls, Mr A and life in general, as well as work on my photography, create more dessert tables and show you new and exciting products in the store.  Somewhere in there I hope to be able to find time for some sleep!

I must also add a word of thanks to some wonderful people who have helped me along the way – my gorgeous friend Natasha and her husband Daniel who have not only designed and built my website, but have also been an incredible sounding board for all aspects of setting up a business and always full of enthusiasm for my little hobby that has turned into something more.
To my lovely online friends who have been so encouraging – Katena, Sharnel, Tracey and Millie. Thank you x
And of course to my biggest critic but biggest supporter Mr A – if there is a spelling mistake – he finds it. If there is a sentence or picture that doesn’t look right he tells me – he loves this blog as much as I do.  He is currently travelling in the US for work so missing my launch party (nothing big – just me and the girls) but checks in regularly to pick up anything I may have missed.
So without further ado I invite you to take a visit to my new website and store
As a special opening offering I will be offering 10% off everything in the store from now until Sunday evening.
Yes this includes the milk glass cake stands as well (they arrive on the 12th June so place your order and they will be shipped out to you on arrival).  Enter the code “Launch” in the coupon box to receive your discount.
Finally, don’t forget to like my Sweet Style facebook and twitter pages to be kept up to date with all the news including special offers and new products that will be arriving in the coming weeks.
Enjoy having a look around.
