'Gone Surfing' -BeGolden in Easy Living !!



Hurrah! We've been featured in this month's ( August) Easy Living magazine! They've done us proud with a great big photo of our luscious gold china egg box and a prime position on the page.

They do however describe us as a 'slightly bonkers store'. Funny, as we feel that collecting together all glittery gold things and searching high and low for gilded products as a fairly normal practice, but maybe they do have a point. My husband pointed out last night that if he'd have merely insinuated that the concept of BeGolden was 'slightly bonkers' he'd have been in the dog house for a week - which is true, but he's not Beatrice Hodgkin from Easy Living and there stands the difference.

Also, they comment on the fact that we offer 'rather a mixed bag' with 'some wonderful gems', but we made the decision at the beginning not to limit ourselves to merely design products. We wanted to offer gold products, products we were proud of but nevertheless ones that spanned the range of traditional to contemporary, quirky to the more mainstream.

All in all we are delighted with the exposure that our BeGolden brand has been given through Easy Living - it's really exciting for us to be featured by such a big magazine. Who will be next? Come on Vogue, give us a call.

Fascinating Facts - No 1




The more I learn about gold the more amazing I find the stuff. I've decided to share my nerdy obsession by drip feeding you all with little 'nuggets' of wisdom about the precious metal that is taking over my life.

Did you know....
Gold is so pliable that you can stretch an ounce to a length of over 50 miles long, and that you can beat a mere ounce to form a sheet that could cover a hundred square feet.

That doesn't sound possible?!
