Sharing the love on Valentines Day

Behind the scenes at Le Trousseau

It's not often we talk about the comings and goings at Le Trousseau Towers but this week being all about love, Elizabeth Raynsford, our Company director shares her latest passion. And for once it's not wrapped in tissue paper with a Jimmy Choo label...

Hello lovelies! Well, it's been a while since I last updated these pale blue pages. The reason? Mr R and I have had a baby! We're not usually the type of couple to talk about such boring stuff as ourselves (on these pages anyway!), but as it's Valentine's Day and we're ever so in love, we've made an exception!

Our gorgeous little girl burst into the world back in July; a confident yet calm and fabulously funny baby with the biggest brown eyes we ever did see. Needless to say, we were smitten from the very first moment we met her and now at six months old she's become our shared passion and the light of our lives.

Now every day is Valentine's for us. We're brimful of love for our little lady and I'm delighted to say after 10 whole years together, for each other. Our darling daughter is like the diamond on my left hand - a constant (and indeed sparkling) reminder of all the reasons my husband and I chose to be together and of why we love each other. And much like the wedding day that succeeded the round cut carat, she's entirely perfect. And that's because she's made up of Mr R and me - the sum of our best parts.

And whilst I'm busy loving her (where did the time go?), I'm also loving my husband (as I know he's loving me) and although we may not say the words as often as we used to, and we may not hold hands whilst pushing the pram, each and every time I look into our baby's face and see the resemblance of Mr R peeping back, it feels like all my Valentine's Days have come at once.

And so I would like to wish my husband, gorgeous girl, contributors and fabulous customers a very happy Valentine's Day indeed! From one loved up lady to many others... x
