Sarah Jane - beat the rain

No wonder we Brits talk about the weather - where has the summer gone! It's never stopped raining for the last 2 weeks... Actually, I think I'm to blame because the weather was lovely for at least a couple of weeks before that and I (foolishly) said "let's have a BBQ!" That was it - constant rain from that day onwards...
Anyway, if you need cheering up with some retail therapy, or you experience a break in the weather and actually go to a BBQ, the answer is the same - BUY this summer’s gorgeous must-have accessory for that special baby! Our leather bibs are not only super-stylish, have over 30 wonderful designs and if you’re at a BBQ you can just wipe it clean and pop it in your change bag.

Check out the full range at www.sarahjane.uk.com

In the unlikely event you still care – I did have the BBQ – in the rain! I’ve learnt my lesson – I won’t mention it next summer.

Holiday help!

I read somewhere that there had been a survey that revealed 80% of mums have to do ALL the holiday planning & packing before heading off for the family holiday less than relaxed! Did we really need a survey to learn that one!

Now the school holidays are here I'm sure every mum in the country is busy thinking up things to do or planning for the family holiday or just gazing into her crystal ball wondering what the heck the weather is going to do in the next few minutes!

Well, here at Sarah Jane we can take one packing headache away. Instead of packing dozens of bibs and wondering how you are going to get them washed and dried why not buy one of our wonderful leather bibs that just need a wipe or a rinse under the tap. Mums all over the UK are getting one of our 30+ designs to take away - why not choose one now and save yourself at least one less job!

Holiday Essentials

Is it just us or does everyone pack way too much stuff when they go on Holiday? Anyway our beautiful leather bibs would be ideal to take on holiday - not only would you have the funkiest baby but you don't have to worry about packing loads of bibs (as just the one will do) AND no washing and drying! How cool is that.
Sarah Jane has introduced a beautiful leather bib into the UK - hand made in Canada. It's a wonderful gift for that special baby and available in over 30 designs just check out our web site www.sarahjane.uk.com.
Have fun on holiday, keep safe and don't over pack!
P.S. If you replace all your bibs with one from Sarah Jane you can fit in an extra pair of shoes!

Celebrities are wearing our bibs!

Actually that is not strictly true - celebrity’s babies are wearing our bibs! We could tell you their names but we would have to kill you straight afterwards & that's not strictly legal. However, all will be revealed in the fullness of time but we are all very excited!
