Hiya peeps, Miss Warburton here just to tell you about our sumptuous new shop interior refurbishment!

We closed a couple of extra days after Easter to undergo a major overhaul of the inside of our shop, and Miss Warburton and the girls are absolutely delighted with the results! And our customers have been nothing but complimentary about our new look.

So, if you’re passing by Leigh Broadway, why not pop in and take a look for yourselves. We’d be delighted to know what you think!

All the girls here at Warbys are just super excited that the new Trollbeads collection is launched today. The Spiritual Collection is an all-new themed collection of beads consisting entirely of winning People's Bead designs, selected from hundreds of designs submitted for this year's People's Bead Competition.

Representing Team GB is Dorset-based artist and fitness instructor Carolyn Brettell, whose silver Feather Bead is one of eleven designs featured in Trollbeads’ gorgeous new People’s Bead 2012 Spiritual Collection, representing nine different nationalities.

Carolyn’s bead is also available as part of a ready-made bracelet!

And even though the nearest that Miss Warburton gets to spirituality is a few glasses of wine while watching Return of the Jedi, that doesn’t stop her appreciating the beauty of these wonderful new beads, available to order from our online shop or in store now.

There’s nothing quite like a new range of gorgeous jewellery to have Miss Warburton and the girls squealing with delight (unless someone has baked us cupcakes of course), and the pitch of our squeals have gone up a notch with the Buddha To Buddha collection that has just arrived on Warbys doorstep.

Dozens of styles of hunky chunky Sterling silver bracelets and leather bracelets with iconic silver BTB clasps are the backbone of this lovely brand, ideal for both ladies and men, and available in a range of sizes naturally. There’s also a whole host of Sterling silver rings, each adorned with the Buddha To Buddha logo, and a small but stunning range of Sterling silver pendants, complete with chains!

We have them in store now if you’re local, so you can see for yourself how spectacular the new Buddha To Buddha jewellery is, or you can browse our entire selection online and order now for speedy delivery.

What else can I say except… Hello!

Those lovely people at Sekonda have pulled off another coup with their generous Partytime sponsorship of the new ITV1 show This Is Lionel Richie, due to screen on giant LCD screens in the living rooms all over the UK this Good Friday evening.

The Oscar and Grammy award winning balladeer Richie is of course the former Commodore, and according to the Guinness Book of World Records, has the largest repertoire of blandly-titled songs in the history of music.

Say You, Say Me, Truly, You Are, Hello, All Night Long, Easy, those dull titles just keep on coming. Fortunately they sound a lot better than you might suppose, and your gran is certain to love it.

So for all you Lionel fans and insomniacs out there, This Is Lionel Richie will be broadcast by ITV on Good Friday 6th April at 10:00PM.

If you’re not Stuck On Lionel’s mix of mellow MOR music, you have Miss Warburton’s permission to go Running with the Night but don’t forget to tell gran to be careful if she’s thinking about Dancing on the Ceiling. Scatter some cushions on the floor perhaps.

While you’re waiting, head on over and browse our selection of Partytime watches from Sekonda. You know you want to.

I’m sure you won’t be surprised if I tell you that Miss Warburton and all the ladies here at Warby Towers have been waiting in breathless anticipation over the release of Dreamlands - two new ChloBo Spring Summer Collections – one in sparkling silver and one in perfect pastel shades.

The name of ChloBo’s Dreamlands collection was inspired by Chole Moss’ visit to Bali’s most beautiful beach, Dreamland. How Miss Warburton wishes she was on that beach right now, basking in the hot Balinese sunshine. Anyway, this is the very same beach where Chloe originally had a chance meeting with a woman making intricate silver bracelets thus inspiring our talented Chloe to her to follow her own dream and set up ChloBo jewellery.

The rest, as they say, is history, and ChloBo has quickly become one of Warbys’ tipper-toppermost brands. This new Dreamland Collection is divided into the Silver Sparkle Dreamlands range, a perfect addition to the ChloBo Iconics family; and the stunning Spring Summer 2012 collection sporting pastel colours, capturing the spirit of ChloBo’s Bohemian roots and in step and on trend with the latest fashion.

All the girls here are resplendent in their pastel shades already and I can personally guarantee we’ll all be modelling the ChloBo Dreamlands bracelets and necklaces here in the shop and on our occasional soirees to the local hostelries and restaurants.

You can see the full collection, available to order from today, right here.

As I’m sure you’re all aware, the girls here at Warbys are simply all huuuuuuge Formula 1 fans, so we’re extremely excited that those jolly German silversmiths Thomas Sabo are sponsoring those sexy Mercedes AMG Petronas racing cars for the forthcoming season!

The first race of the season in Melbourne is just a couple of weeks away now, and the freshly-branded Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 WO3 cars will be sporting the Thomas Sabo logo emblazoned on the side of the big sticky-up bit at the back. 

By no mere coincidence, Warburtons of Leigh are also proud to be stocking the new range of gorgeous Thomas Sabo Sterling Silver jewellery in store and online, so you can purchase an items in the knowledge that not only is it a cutting-edge and stylish piece of quality fashion jewellery, but also that Thomas Sabo are the Official Jewellery Supplier to the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team!

Mercedes-Benz Head of Motorsports Norbert Haug is quoted as being “thrilled” while company founder Thomas Sabo himself said “we are convinced that the team has exciting years ahead – and we are looking forward to our first win together.”

Rest assured that Miss Warburton and the girls will all be tuning in on March 18th to see super fit blonde Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg racing his Thomas Sabo sponsored vehicle round and round the circuit in Melbourne, cheering him on every single lap.

Go Mercedes! Go Nico! Go Sabo! Wooooooooooooo!

Well! Even more celebrity ChloBo news! Miss Warburton and her precious little underlings were both astonished and delighted to see the absolutely gorgeous Kelly Rowland wearing a stack of fabulous ChloBo jewellery on her new music video for “Keep it Between Us.”

Kelly rose to fame as one of the founding members of the American girl group Destiny's Child, along with lovely Beyonce Knowles and Michele somebody. Between the group and her solo and collaborative projects, Kelly has sold around eighty two million records worldwide. Not quite sure what ‘records’ are, maybe ask your dad. But that’s a LOT, whatever they are. So she sure is popular.

Anyway, I think you’ll agree with us that she looks just beautiful in those lovely ChloBo bracelets, and of course you can buy them in store on online from the girls at Warbys!
Take it away Kelly!

Happy New Year peeps! Sorry it's a little late, but overcoming the inertia of the holiday season is always difficult at best, and Miss Warburton may have indulged a little more than usual.

Well, as you can imagine, all the girls here at Warburtons were absolutely thrilled to see our favourite Loose Woman, the delightful Denise Welch enter the Celebrity Big Brother house at the weekend, sporting an armful of silver ChloBo bracelets!

You can only see them peeping out in the photo above, but when she entered 'The House' and took off her fur coat, you could see the whole stack! Now Miss Warburton and her minions will be avidly watching every minute of Channel 5's show to see if Ms. Welch wears them again. And we're absolutely certain she will!

And meanwhile, you can load up on ChloBo bracelets just like Denise's right here.
