Mention | Twitter necklace on /A\ Morning Ottawa

Friday, January 28th, 2011

Blend Creations got a little surprise mention on Ottawa TV station, /A\ Channel this morning!

/A\ Channel dedicated today’s show to social media including twitter, online safety and more. They had Andrea Tomkins from the blog A Peek Inside the Fishbowl (@missfish on Twitter) on to talk about blogging. Check out her clip:

(Thanks for wearing our @ twitter necklace on air, Andrea! It’s a nice surprise to see a shout-out on TV :)

Shop news | New products: QR code geekery and daisies

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

In the past few weeks, we’ve added a number of new products to the shop! In addition to our latest Charmer necklaces, we’ve also added some geek chic QR code cufflinks:

We’ve already got a new pendant design underway for new QR code pendants, and they’ll be available in a couple of months. However, in the meantime, we did make some custom QR code pendants with our existing large solid stainless steel pendants:

(If you scan the above image with a barcode scanner, you’ll see that the pendants link to the customer’s website! :)

We’ve also just added a new line of family necklaces that are much like our Connection necklaces, but with a flowery twist:

They’re available with one to nine flowers, so that you can have each daisy represent a family member. Or you can get a necklace to play ”He loves me/He loves me not” — but make sure you get an odd number of flowers ;)
