A big Thank You to Cath for being our first STAR.  I hope you like looking at her pages and of course we both hope it inspires you.   Cath has asked that we take away question seven, pop back next week to see what she has replaced it with and of course to see who will be our new STAR!  If you want to put yourself forward, or a company or friend, comment on the post we will do a final shout out on Sunday,  and then make contact by Wednesday for next one  on Friday! Thank You for reading, hope it has brightened your day! Ellie x









Welcome to our new feature of In the Spotlight with Ellie, which of course is me!  How often have you been on Facebook etc and seen a company, read a post or just wanted to know more?  Well I have, so hence In the Spotlight is born.

Its not rocket science, will not take long and hopefully puts a up and coming business, a good blog, a established business well 'In the Spotlight'!  It is meant to give a little bit of insight, a quick snippet and hopefully some light hearted nosiness (is that a word?) into our lives!

It is based on ten quick simple questions - but here is the twist, if you are featured then for the following week you get the opportunity to CHANGE one quetion and add your own!  This I hope will keep it fresh and makes everyone have that chance to ask that all important question.

We will ask you to comment, get involved, go and look at the website, facebook page etc of the person/company featured each week.  And of course, if you do LIKE what you see, then send a friend request, post a comment or even dare I say place an order!

So how do you get involved?  Well via any of the following ways:

So why Bamber Sewing Machine site? Well I am a customer and also help out with admin on their facebook page.  I do have my own facebook page for my own business and my own website www.neverforget.co.uk

Each week, we will be asking on a Sunday for you to recommend a page/person/blog/company to be featured the following week.  I hope you all join in and pop back later for our very first 'In the Spotlight'!

Thanks for reading
