Visiting Dodo Towers - Dodolicious Tea Party!

The first time I found out that Lord Dodo, and Dodo Towers were in Cornwall was in 2011, when I received a message on a Youtube video asking if I wanted to try out their 2011 A5 Diary, which I did! And this led to me finding out they have their head office in CORNWALL!! How this was very exciting for me, I received the diary at the beginning of June and did my review in July, you can see the review HERE!

They spoke to me a few times, and invited me down, but I could never make it due to the fact that I couldn't drive, a friend of mine went to their open day last October/November time at Dodo Towers, I was seriously so jealous!

Then all changed when I met my lovely current boyfriend, he helped me pass my driving test, so I was free to do ANYTHING! THANK YOU

We had a day trip to the Royal Cornwall Show, where we met LORD DODO!!!!!!!! Well the face behind it, Lady Dodo! It was so exciting, HERE is my blog post with the pictures, but I will post the picture below...

See me and Lady Dodo match! Purple is obviously the way forward and the new Fashionable colour! ;)

I got to see the new 2013 LARGER Personal Filofax Dodo pad layout, which was really exciting, sorry about my simple expression on my face, I was ever so excited!

Roll forward to August, I had planned a trip, with the lovely Icclewu, she was to come down with her two daughters and we were to have the FILOFAX TOUR!

She came down on Thursday 2 August, which was amazing, and we planned to visit Lord Dodo on the Friday! It came to the Friday and a few things went wrong on our Trip, Perranporth was so busy, as I think that Boardmasters (I went in 2010, see my blog post) was causing all tourists to leave Newquay! 

So we were really early, and couldn't get hold of Lord Dodo to ask if we could come early, so we wandered around, went to the Ice Cream place, watched how Ice cream was made, ate some, then came the time, we got a text, it was a Dodolicious text giving us the all clear!

We left, we drove, we didn't get lost, we found it!

WE ARRIVED!

Here is the Dodolicious Lady Dodo herself, Rebecca! (She is coming to the Philofaxy Meet up this month! eeeeek)

Now to the inside of the office...

Looks as if some Dodo parcels are being created? I wonder if anyone we know has ordered something.....that would be mad....

Sorry about the blurry picture of the signage, but I had to take it!

Here is the inside, with all the displays, it was oh so exciting, and then the tea party started, and we got to look at all sorts of products, oh it was like Christmas for me!

FRENCH FANCIES (I love them) as you can tell we ate them....

They no longer make those post it notes any more.... we WANT THEM!!!!! PLEASE LORD DODO!!!! PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

We discussed a little idea for a product they could do, which I HOPE THEY START TO MAKE AS I WOULD LOVE IT!!!

I bought, a 2012 Personal sized Dodo Pad, and some Dodo Diary Stickers.... I have always wanted to try some!

They were all discussing the products... having a lovely time...

Tracy had a drink from a Dodolicious mug!

A last group photo and it was time to say Goodbye!!!

 It was such a lovely tea party and I would love to go back one day!!!

I would love it if Lord Dodo created our idea....... It would be most Perfect! 

THANK YOU LORD DODO!!!!!!!! 

Now everyone go buy a Dodo Pad!

A Literal Filofax Affair - All Stars Tour - PaperLoveStory

Once again I am part of Philofaxy All Stars, and I know I will have had a few posts before this one, but this is the first I have received and I am scheduling it to appear on the correct date (I HOPE) Anyway... 

I have the lovely ANGELA from PaperLoveStory, I feel privaliged to have her on my blog as I love her posts :) They are all so cute and ADORABLE, you should check out her blog, it is a must see!!! Put it on your bucket list, but make sure it is crossed off instantly!!! Enjoy

As some of you may have already read, my previous guest post detailing my brief affair with a Moleskine day-per-page diary. This post is a sequel to that love story.

Angela finally felt settled down with Rosie and not itching to move to another organiser or planner. Or so she thought. Along came Alice Temperley who created an organiser designed to tempt even the most settled down of individuals. Fittingly, it was called The Affair and that was exactly what Angela ended up having.

Although disagreeing with all forms of adultery and cheating, Angela found herself seduced by the lace-on-leather design and the pink satin lining of the interior.

“No,” Angela said quietly to herself, “I must not let something so aesthetically pleasing affect me like this. After all, it is the personality that is so endeering, not some lace and satin!”

This resistance didn’t last long, however, and she soon held an Affair in her hands. Rosie looked on dejectedly as Angela couldn’t take her eyes off the Affair; and when Rosie’s inserts were cruelly taken from her and transferred to the new love in Angela’s life, Rosie let out a “humph” and wandered off into the sunset, in search of a new owner who would be more faithful.

This Affair didn’t last long - not dissimilar to real-life affairs. The lust was there, but things started to go wrong and the relationship was going downhill fast. As the rings started to open up and not close properly, Angela was fast losing patience. Rosie never had these problems, in fact, Rosie was almost perfect in every way; but there was no time to mourn over her now. The Affair had to be sorted as soon as possible and before the problems could escalate and turn into something bigger.

Alas, it was not meant to be as her second Affair also had the same ring problems and worse, too! Citing irreconcilable differences, back it went to Filofax and Angela was left to fend for herself. Having cheated on Rosie twice, she was in no mood to listen to Angela’s pleas for forgiveness and cliched phrases such as ‘it won’t happen again’, ‘my brain farted’, etc. And so the search began for Angela’s Filofax ‘one’.

Having lusted after the plum Osterley for months prior to all this, Angela plum-ped for it and hasn’t looked back since. Rosie did not like the fact that Angela had gone through organisers like knickers, but did not turn down the suggestion to ‘just be friends’ and as a result of this, Rosie is now her ‘me binder’.

With her love for the Osterley growing each day, no other Affair is on the horizon. That is to say, until Alice Temperley reveals her second selection of binders in her collaboration with Filofax, Angela cannot see any other binder as her other, organisational, half.

Thank you once again for visiting Angela I REALLY LOVE YOUR BLOG!! PaperLoveStory
