Marcia, the manager of the Tannery's Norwich branch popped into my shop a few weeks ago and was in awe of my designs. She immediately said that she would like to offer my shop some support and suggested that I bring some of my designs into the Tannery for them to display.

As of next week, you'll be able to view some of my feather inspired shoes in their store for you to enquire about. Generously, Marcia will also put up a little blurb about my shoes alongside the designs!

This is to not only mark their exciting move from the Arcade to Exchange Street, but will be the start of Milly J Shoes within this luxury environment!

A wonderful day was had in Norwich's well-known Forum for the annual, Spring Wedding Fair!

An intimate setting for many a bride and groom to be; including other members of the public in the iconic setting of the Forum in the heart of Norwich.

Other exhibitors included Lou Lou Loves - Vintage decor hire and many a florist and cake maker. High end, sophistacted and full of buzz was the name of the day.

Of course, I was there with my bridal shoes and am getting somewhat better at decorating my stall - there's certainly an art to it! With the help of my mother as pictured, we got there!

The next Milly J wedding show will be next month! Stay tuned for that.

I was contacted by Archant's television network, Mustard Tv to appear on their live show - the Mustard Show, interviewed by Nick Conrad. Talking the opening of my new shop - All About Shoes in Norwich's, The Lanes.

I appeared in tow with an assorment of my bespoke shoes and other beautiful gift.

Please come and visit my new shop which is located on St Benedicts, Norwich. NR2 4PG.

Thank you to all those who took the time to vote for me in this year's prestigious, Footwear Industry Awards! Thanks to all of you, the footwear and fashion establishment have chosen me as one of their top 5 footwear businesses in two categories. I am a finalist for:

Fashion Brand of the Year

Footwear Designer of the Year.

I amazed with how the tightly locked industry chooses me as a one women business who designs, markerts and hand creates all her shoes herself. Being up against large teams of well known brands is indeed humbling.

Once again, thank you. Results in soon!

So pleased to announce that her efforts have once again been noticed by Theo Paphitis. Two years ago, Milly J Shoes won its first business award from the man himself. That was indeed a grand moment and Milly J became one of Theo's, SBS Award Winners. SBS awards small business owners and is a great platform for businesses to gain the support from the famous ex, Dragon's Den Dragon and business tycoon. This time, Milly was alerted that Theo has now chosen her as this month's, Business of the Month. This is great, as it means Milly J Shoes is still on the tycoon's radar! Thank you to Mr. P!

Best wishes

Milly J
