Moo Cards!

For any of you who follow me on Twitter (@RubyWren) you may have noticed my excitement over my first set of Moo Business Cards last week and my impatient wait for them to arrive.

I had been debating over whether to buy the normal business cards, or the more ecomical mini-cards, which were a similar price for twice the amount of cards. I decided to go for the normal cards, so that I would have some professional cards to hand out to any business-types. I ordered them in the eco-friendly (like my little Ruby business herself) recycled card.

They arrived this weekend, much sooner than the estimated dispatch date. While I was worried that the recycled card would compromise the quality, I'm very much impressed with my Moo Cards! I've heard so many Etsy people raving about Moo and their products and until I received mine, I just didn't know why.

The cards are a superb quality and the ability to have your own photos or artwork on them, especially having a selection of designs per pack, is a huge bonus. In my 50 pack of cards, I have 7 different designs spread over the total cards.

I have since ordered a huge pack of Mini Cards to pop into my packages and printed stickers, so if you purchase from me in the near future, look out for them! :) While I was initally shocked by the price, I think I'm definitely going to be keeping my Moo product stash stocked up!

If anyone is interested in purchasing from Moo.com, it's their Birthday and September is full of promotions and discounts, so make the most of it :)

BlytheKing iSockits

Today I received a super special item in the post and would like to share it with you!

I have a few little gadgets and as I'm obsessive with keeping them clean and scratch free, I recently discovered Etsy seller BlytheKing!

She makes the most amazing "iSockits", cases for mobile phones and laptops from vintage fabrics. I bought two this week and am so impressed with them. The fabrics are beautiful and they're handmade to such a high standard.

I bought the 'Saga' Design as pictured above, with a 'Feed Sack' design for my boyfriend. I spent a while looking at generic phone cases and skins online and was not happy with the choice or quality for 'official' or 'replica' cases. I'm so glad I discovered Blythe's Etsy shop and her beautiful handmade eco-friendly iSockits!

I purchased the deluxe style cases which feature a small pocket on the front for headphones etc, which is really useful. The case fits very snug around the phone, making it perfect for protection, while still allowing you to grab it quick if you get a call. They're so lovely and such a pretty accessory!

I love buying handmade from Etsy and it's sellers like BlytheKing who are making it more and more convincing to buy everything from handmade artists. I especially love the little 'BK' stitched initials in the back of the case!

Another great thing...which I'm still amazed by...the iSockits travelled from USA to UK in 4 days! I think that must be a record for my online purchases, and I'm very glad as I'm so impatient with online shopping!

Check out the Etsy store here...the choice is amazing, I struggled when deciding on which ones I wanted to buy! LOL!
