Shift in values for fitted furniture During the second half of last year, The Kitchen and Bedroom Showroom, noticed a definite shift in sale values. Managing Director, Mr Terry Earle puts this down to their enhanced reputation for straight forward transparent pricing and being able to offer a full project management service. “Personal service is key these days”, reports Terry. “More and more people now see through the misleading advertising offered by some kitchen and bedroom suppliers” says Terry, “50% and higher discounts no longer fool the public”, he said.

The Company are one of the few in the area that employ their fitters, and this counts for a great deal these days. In addition to the deposit bonding schem e, the 10 year furniture guarantee is valued by the customers. The Kitchen and Bedroom Showroom is the only privately owned Company to have received the Hampshire and Dor s e t “B u y wi th C on f i d en ce ” accreditation and is recognised by the Government “Trust Mark” accreditation scheme. “We have refurbished the showroom this year”, says Terry, “and introduced the Neff appliance brand and also been appointed the area retailer for the Hepplewhite fitted bedroom ranges”

Put the Fab Factor into your Wedding Outfit What can be more special than your daughter or son’s wedding day? Such an important occasion demands a special outfit and Dorset has a really special boutique that can help. Fab Frocks of Westbourne has over 10 years experience in helping women find the right outfit for the big day. This award-winning boutique offers a choice of hundreds of stunning mother of the bride and groom outfits, all under one roof. The shop is like a treasure trove with special occasion collections from all over the world along with hats and fascinators to match. Owner Tracie Beardsley says: “We know how important it is for women to find a wedding outfit that looks amazing. We also know that modern women don’t want to look mumsie so we’ve sourced a stunning range of dresses and jackets that are stylish and contemporary.” She adds: “The other big factor is of course cost and we aim to cater for all wedding budgets. We have beautiful dresses and jackets which start at £165 for the outfit. Our fascinators start from £35. This is comparable to high street prices but you won’t see our collections on the high street and the last thing a mother of the bride or groom wants is to see another wedding guest in the same outfit as her!” Fab Frocks also believes in dressing real women. The shop stocks sizes 8 to 24 and offers a special order service on some collections up to a size 30. “We have really listened to what women want and have dresses which include features such as integral bra support or the option of bra-friendly straps,” explains Tracie Beardsley. “Some designs have cap sleeves, others have tummy-flattering ruching and most dresses are on or over the knee.” The spring/summer collection is now in at Fab Frocks and has something for everyone, wherever the wedding may be. Tracie Beardsley says: “Because weddings no longer take place just in a church, we have introduced some less formal outfits for mums. We have beautiful, floaty dresses in silks and cottons so they are cool
CD March 2012 page 12
This gorgeous candy pink stripe outfit from Spanish designer Presen is available at Fab Frocks
to wear. These can be teamed up with a bolero and make a perfect outfit for a summer wedding on a beach or in a marquee. Even better, dresses like these can certainly be worn again!” Fab Frocks offers a personal, friendly service. The shop is open Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturdays 10 to 5.30pm. Throughout March, April and May, the shop is also open every Sunday from 11am to 4pm. Tracie Beardsley adds: “It’s not essential to make an appointment to visit our boutique but we do recommend it. This allows us to ensure one of our friendly team can be on hand to help you. It also means we can find out in advance what you’re looking for and gather some ideas. By having an informal chat on the telephone, we can create a customer profile of your wishes and needs which really helps when it comes to finding the right outfit for you.” Fab Frocks of Westbourne, 17 Seamoor Road, Westbourne, Bournemouth BH4 9AA.

Curves of Christchurch Hosts Food Collection to Benefit Local People in Need Curves Christchurch invites local women to show their philanthropic strength by participating in the 13th Annual Curves Food Drive. From March 1 – 23rd, Curves Christchurch will collect non-perishable items and monetary donations for the Christchurch Food Bank at Purewell. "At the core of our business is the message that women are stronger when they rally together, and that is the point we hope to bring home with our food drive," said Debbie, Owner of Curves Christchurch. For non-members who donate a bag full of groceries to the collection, Curves will also waive the cost to join, a saving of £99! Each year, Curves clubs collectively donate millions of lbs of food. In 5 years almost 54 million kilograms of food has been collected and distributed to local communities all over the world through the Curves Food Drive. "Even if you’re not thinking about joining a gym, you can still drop off your donations. There are so many people here in our own community who need our help right now." Curves is designed especially for women. Their complete 30-minute cardio and strengthtraining program has been proven to be clinically effective, improving body composition, metabolism, and resting heart rate. Curves appeals to women of all ages who want a fitness routine that differs from typical gyms, or who struggle with their weight and find attending traditional gyms intimidating. Curves has been in the forefront of the express fitness phenomenon that has made exercise available to millions of women globally, many of whom are in the gym for the first time.

Wild Gardening — Some Hints and Tips Dorset has some of the country's best nature reserves and is the base for national conservation organisations such as the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust and the Butterfly Conservation Trust. Dorset's botanical records boast more species than any other county. However, nature reserves are under ever increasing pressure from people and habitat loss is threatening many of our native species. Our gardens represent a huge potential habitat and if a few small changes are made then wildlife could benefit greatly. Dig a Pond – This will bring instant wildlife to your garden. Pond skaters and birds will find it within hours of you filling it with water. Frogs, newts and dragonflies will probably follow within a year. Grow Wildflowers – Many common garden plants are heavily cultivated and non native. This means that, while they can look pretty, they are poor for wildlife. Try growing some native wildflowers and reduce the amount of non native species
Silver Studded Blue Butterfly
CD March 2012 page 18
Rose Chafer Beetle such as rhododendron. You could also set aside an area of your lawn and let it grow wild. Compost – As well as reducing landfill, a compost site can be a habitat in its own right. Invertebrates will thrive as the green waste is broken down and this will bring in larger predators like birds and toads. The heat generated by the decomposition will attract slug eating slow worms and harmless grass snakes. Bird boxes – Loss of trees and hedgerows has meant that suitable sites for nesting birds are in short supply. The size of the entrance hole will dictate what species of bird will live there. You can also put up bat boxes or bug hotels. Log Pile – Our obsession for tidiness has means that dead wood has become a rare habitat. Next time you get the chance, make a small, neat pile of logs in a hidden corner of your garden. You will soon get all sorts of wildlife and some interesting fungus.
