This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting the 10 lovely women who won my afternoon tea competition which I ran with Stilnest in aid of Stand Up to Cancer. Last month we ran this competition to raise money for SU2C and 16% of each jewellery sale went to the charity. Everyone who bought a piece during the month of October was entered into this competition to spend afternoon tea with me and 10 winners were selected, two of which were international. I was so excited to meet ten of my viewers in such a personal, intimate setting as opposed to a large meet & greet with hundreds of people (which I always find overwhelming anyway!). This was much more relaxed and laid back...plus there was food involved and who doesn't love that?!
The afternoon tea was hosted by the Runnymede-on-Thames hotel and they put on such a beautiful spread. The highlight of the afternoon was finding out from SU2C that we had raised £12,000 for the charity through my jewellery alone. I honestly cannot tell you how proud and emotional that makes me and I feel so incredibly thankful to all of you who helped to reach that amazing amount. I am blown away by how a simple necklace with a lot of meaning has made such an impact in just one year since I launched this line with Stilnest! I really wish my dad could have lived to see all of this unfold but I'm so proud to have done it in his honour.

ReplyDeleteWow 12000 is amazing! Your dad would be so so proud Anna :) loving the daily blog posts btw! Xx
ReplyDeleteYou're so beautiful <3 congrats to the winners!
ReplyDeleteDear Anna, I purchased your necklace and bracelet and I love both! I was born on the same day (different year) that my maternal great grandmother passed. My grandmother told me every year that God sent me on that day so she wouldn't feel the sadness of losing her mother. We were very close. Hearing you talk about your Dad really touched my heart. My bracelet is Gemini (me) with a Taurus charm for my grandmother, a Capricorn charm for my Mom and a Scorpio for my Dad. I feel that each piece of jewelry is a tribute to your love for your Dad. God bless you and your family. ox
