Buyers, Breakfast, Berlin and Bread & Butter - An Inspired Trip
Last Thursday, alarm clocks set at 3am (yes, that's right) us TruffleShuffle buyers, hazily awoke from our slumbers and prepared ourselves for a long day of trade show fun. The destination, Bread & Butter in Berlin. This is where we head for a bi-annual buying trip, a place to meet up with existing suppliers for a chin-wag and view of the new collections for 2011. It's also a fab opportunity to source new ranges and expand our current supplier base as we are always super keen to introduce new exciting brands and product to the site.
Upon arriving at Heathrow, the first thing on our minds was BREKKIE! We needed some serious fuel for the day ahead and some kind of a feast to keep us awake and perky! After checking in, we swiftly made our way to Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food restaurant and one Eggs Norwegian, one full English, one Pancakes with banana, two apple juices and two coffees later we were ready to go!
Taking off at 7.05am, we flew high above the clouds and took in the most stunning sun rise; some more coffees and a little nap later, we had arrived! Set in the amazing old Tempelhof airport, Bread & Butter attracts buyers from all over the world and is a showcase for major brands such as Replay and Superdry as well as smaller up and coming brands.

Absolutely fabulous!
We were so excited when we spotted our stunning Alice in Wonderland 'Drink Me' necklace in the News of the World's Fabulous magazine this weekend! It was depicted in all its twinkling wonder in a beautiful shot, embedded in a silver glitter shoreline. Gosh, wouldn't it be lovely if this washed up at your toes! This is a true Disney Couture classic and a must have for any Alice in Wonderland collector. We only have limited stocks though, so better dive in quick before they drift away! xoxo

Punky Allsorts serves up some delicious treats!
We could hardly contain our excitement when we received the new Punky Allsorts 'Miniatures Collection' here at Truffle Towers! A veritable feast of sweet treats and the nations favourite dinners, thankfully the range has also been extended to include 'Punky for Homme', so the guys don't miss out! The hot and uber stylish Rachel Bilson has been spotted out flashing her delicious 'A La Tart' ring, a mouth wateringly beautiful and intricately hand crafted stunner featuring a plate of patisserie tarts which look good enough to eat (non-edible though I'm afraid)!
If you are partial to a featherweight Flump or one of Bertie's special Liquorice Allsorts, you should definitely check out the gorgeous mock pearl bracelets and necklaces!
Beans on Toast and Egg on Chips are always a yummy treat (especially served up the morning after a raucous night on the tiles!) and they can now be enjoyed as a stylish accessory in the form of a ring and quirky sets of cuff links. A real talking point!
So, why not check out the full range, they make awesome Crimbo gifts and even though they have been loving crafted by hand in the UK, are an amazingly great price, so you can treat yourself too and indulge in your fave treats all day long! We do like to spoil you! xoxo
