I t is not Pink it is BELLADONNA

Now that I am an auntie for my youngest sister I have started to be more creative again and have made a few gifts for mother and baby.

Most of the things that I have made have been from things that I have lying around and have just not got to use or do and thing with yet.

One of the things is a pot of paint that I got from a local shop in Nuneaton and the some of the items I just found in charity shops, local stores in my home town Nuneaton, eBay and in the street.

I have now made three items with one pot of BELLADONNA (not pink) Chalk Paint that is Made in England 125mls.

Stick on Butterflies.

Stick on Silk Daisy Flowers.

One small green plastic pot.

Nottingham Lace.

An old sliver scarf.

I will take photos of the items that I made and what they look like so far, I am not sure if I will not any thing else to them.

I will  put them on my face book pages

The event is to comenorate the women who worked the water ways during World War 2 when there was a shortage of men to crew and canal network and deliver vital supplies such as coal. During the war these courageous women where given the nickname (idle women.) But these women whee far from idle epically when they were given the task of managing 72ft narrow boats and 50tons of cargo.

To Celebrate the 75^th Anniversary Kate Baffin and Heather Wastie will bring Isobel's War and Idle women Judies to waterside venues to recreate the journey that the women took (London-Birmingham-Coventry-London.)

They will be travelling with a show Called The Alarum Theatre and an historic narrow boat called Trench. With the support of public funding by the National Lottery through the Arts Council England.

One of the places that they are looking at stopping at is Nuneaton due to the Griff Clara Number four Collieries that was once in Nuneaton.

For more information I have included the useful links and websites below. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and hopefully seeing you on the day.

Packagaing Information and Guidance

Packaging Information and Guidance.

One of the main things that we pride ourselves in is trying to be a very ethical Company. This may sound ironic since we design and sell parts for European classic cars and Narrow Boats. It always reminds me of the Honda Diesel advert.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K87m4gnHbAo

Where they advertise that diesal engines have been designed to be cleaner and help to reduce carbon admissions.

We at KABFA aim to do the same with any product that we make and sell; to help with our carbon foot print.

One of the main things that we do is aim to have everything that we produce to be made in the UK if possible. We are also very big on Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

At the moment, the packaging that we use to ship our products is plastic bags or tubs which can then be re-used by our customers. Wherever possible we try to use the minimal amount of packaging. So, at times your items may come in a reused corrugated cardboard box from our local shop.

I had someone attend the Packaging and Innovation Show at the NEC in Birmingham e on my behalf due to personal reasons. I am look for other ways that we could possibly package our products to make them more presentable for shops and shows.

We also intend to expand into Amazon to sell our products in addition to having the eBay store.

We look to use UK Companies wherever possible to stick with our belief that we should buy British whenever possible; and will continue to do so in order to achieve customer satisfaction and reduce our carbon foot print in the future.

At the moment I have products that can be brought though REDBUBBLE, with more companies/suppliers in the future.
