With the promise of a heatwave I was planning to create a cut flower garden this year so that my home would be filled with the scent of fresh cut flowers. My tiny courtyard would be full of the heavenly scent of lillies, roses and jasmine. Sadly the Met office in Exeter has let me down! Fortunately Caroline Hardy produces the most wonderful aromatic tapers. A highly effective way of imparting fragrance into a room, more constant than pot pourri, and without the vigilance needed with a candle, these aromatic tapers are rapidly becoming the new must-have.
Caroline has very kindly donated bluebell, one of my favourite scents in the range to our prize draw, quintessentially English, this fragrance will transport you to the very depths of a bluebell wood.
This is one of our all time bestsellers, and rightly so.

All entries to the prize draw close on 5th September 2009

To enter just answer the following question: How many colours does our gorgeous Marilyn inspired dress come in?

One of my new years resolutions was to get the Eni blog up and running and to keep it up to date. Mo who likes to keep me organised has taken to putting her head around the office door chanting blog, blog, blog!
The reason for my absence is that I have taken on several new projects, the hardest being learning how to drive. No major accidents as yet but my driving instructor has had a new clutch put into his car for which I may or may not be responsible. If you see me riding around town in "the beast" and you value your lives, stick to the kerb!

Anyone who knows me will know I have a love of shoes, and these caught my eye at one of the many shows we attend every year. Made of satin, leather lined and with a pretty ruffle at the toe. The flats are already becoming a firm favourite with our customers, so much so that the grey flats are now only available in size 5.

The black ruffle heel has a divine peep toe and are perfect for a night out on the town!

Mo and I have a mantra, "When it's gone, it's gone". We only buy in small quantities to keep our stock looking fresh and exciting - so don't be disappointed!

Welcome, to the Eni blog! After much deliberation and hard work (not mine I hasten to add!) the Eni blog is now live.

We will be celebrating our third birthday in August, it's quite frightening to think how quickly time has flown by and the changes we have seen. I was looking at some photographs of when we first opened, we were obviously going for the minimalist look at the the time, we have just had a facelift and everyone agrees the shop is looking great.

Much has changed, lessons have been learnt but I can honestly say I still love coming to work everyday. Eni has a loyal army of wonderful women (and men but mostly for important dates like birthdays and valentines) and I still get a tingling feeling when I see someone leave the shop with an Eni bag, tied with our beautiful signature ribbon.

Based in the historic market town of South Molton, Devon, the gateway to Exmoor, Eni opened it's doors almost three years ago. If you come into the shop there will be three friendly faces to greet you. There is Morele (that's me) owner and gift wrapper, Mo who tells anyone that will listen that she is my slave - personally I prefer the term "my right hand". All I will say is that everyone needs a Mo, and last but not least is Millie my border collie who works six days a week meeting and greeting everyone that comes in to the shop.

So introductions out of the way, I hope that the Eni blog will keep you up to date with news and exciting new products that are continually arriving.
