All change please

As with alot of my blog posts I do like to tell a little story and for those of you who are unfamiliar (or even familiar) with the London transport system I apologise if this seems like a rant. There is - as always - a link!

As I was on the tube the other day at Hammersmith I noticed an information poster. The first thing I noticed was that it mentioned my birthday - well my birth date to be precise but I still held out hope that Kevin had organised a huge birthday bash for me and was informing the whole of West London about it! But on reading further I noticed something that actually quite surprised me - the Circle Line is going to go Hammersmith now. How could this be? I hadn't seen any major line work so how could the Circle line still be a loop? Was the circle line just not going to go to High Street Kensington anymore? There were so many ponderables!

Then yesterday I received an email from Transport for London (lucky me!) advising on what this extension would mean. First of all the Circle Line was not going to be a complete loop anymore - no longer can you fall asleep on it and travel round the line for hours on end (this may be a good thing!). If you are travelling via High Street Kensington you have to change at Edgware Road and if you want to go to Kings Cross from Paddington best get the Hammersmith and City Line! How is that making it better for us? It all seems a bit unnecessary to me! I mean why change something that has worked for years?

Well the reason is to provide more trains and it is part of a big upgrade programme for some tube lines. But that doesn't mean that change is always welcomed or easy. Sometimes it seems unnecessary to begin with but you have to change to be able to move on. And this is what is happening at Tiararama over the next 12 months.

Exciting developments are afoot at Tiararama but in order to make the best of these we have to change. Some of the changes will be obvious, some more subtle and some will only be seen by us behind the scenes but overall it will mean that Tiararama is stronger and better equipped to deal with the exciting opportunities the future will bring. The only things that won't change will be our ability to design fantastic pieces and provide a first class service to all of our customers.

The most obvious changes will come on our website. Over the coming weeks and months there will be subtle changes happening which will pave the way for more radical and exciting changes. And by the summer our website will be all sparkly and new. We are so excited about the future at Tiararama Towers and I hope that overall you will feel the benefits of all the hard work that is about to be undertaken.

Oh and have a look at English-Wedding.com - it's always lovely to have nice things said about you!

And it would be remiss of me not to leave you with a picture from our new Spring collection. This is a very simple double headband in freshwater pearl and crystal called Melissa. It has lovely texture and warmth and but despite its simplicity it has a lovely subtle pattern which is offset between the two bands to provide another clever layer of detail.

So as always....until next time......
