Under The Same Sky Events

09/06/2023

We've had lots of kind messages and comments about our closure, offering commiseration and support. Thank you. It means a lot. But please don't be sad, this is a positive. All things have an expiration and that's not a bad thing. We are both so busy now with our day jobs, that we don't want to spend all weekend working too and miss out on what is most important, our families. We could carry on, working all weekend and making extra pennies, but money isn't everything, and we'd rather have that precious time with our little ones and a good work/life balance.

Thanks again for all your support and remember to keep looking to the magic of the stars, because every ending is a beginning. ✨

It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Under the Same Sky is now closed. 🌙
We have absolutely loved this little venture. However we are both now far too busy to give it the attention it deserves. We are getting our weekends back with our families as we are both now working too many hours throughout the week.✨
We've loved bringing a bit of magic to your homes. It has been such an honour to share your celebrations.🌙
Thank you so much for all your support, it has been received with love and gratitude. Keep looking to the stars 🌙
✨🌙If you are interested in buying all of our stock, please get in contact. ✨🌙

I love these delicate jellyfish. They always make me smile. I mean, just look at them. 🌙

Today's prompt is finishing touches, which is the perfect prompt for us, because I truly believe our finishing touches are what set us apart from other sleepover companies. The vast majority of our finishing touches were handmade by me (Ella) and my husband, and the others were very carefully selected to ensure that each sleepover delivers a little bit of that stardust we promise. You won't find other sleepover companies with finishing touches like ours because they can't be shop bought, and they haven't had the love poured into them that ours have. ✨

Today's prompt for is 'snippet'. So here's a little snippet of a sleepover we did for a mini space lover and his older sister. ✨

Day 2 of and it's 'all about you'. Two of us who make up Under The Same Sky Events. Actually, that's not quite correct....there's 8 of us because it is a family affair. Everything we do is a family affair, and by family I mean two girls who've been friends since 16 and seen each other through all of life's ups and downs, including weddings and births, and have scraped each other off the floor too many times to mention. Then came two men and then four brilliant, unique babies, who love one another deeply.
We are quite different in some ways, but in all the important ways, we are the same. We laugh a lot, we love a giggle. We love to wine and dine, food is love. We thoroughly enjoy each other's company.
Whatever happens, this bunch of 8 will always be finding ways to make each other laugh and will always be ready to pop the kettle on in times of crisis. ✨

I'm going to try and play along with ( inspired me to) but I reckon I'll probably remember to do it about three times.
We are two mums who have been friends since we were 16 (we're now 40). We met in North London and now both live in South Manchester. About 50 yards from one another. We have selected or hand crafted our kit very carefully. Shout-out to my husband and his never ending patience and handy skills. We wanted to stand out from other tipi companies, offering a bit of stardust with every sleepover.
We set up Under The Same Sky about 18 months ago, and have giggled our way through every event we have set up. ✨

We love our 'Amongst The Stars' sleepovers. Shimmering stars and deep (space) blacks contrast each other beautifully to create an other-worldly effect. ✨

Local Lovelies, can you help Little Green Sock with their urgent items and February wishlist?

The February Wishlist is finally here!

We've been very busy at Little Green Sock Project HQ. This month we have supported families escaping domestic abuse, refugees, care leavers, and families really struggling with the cost of living - providing clothing bundles and essential items for new families such as prams/buggies.

Now we're straight and have managed to do a stock check we can now start accepting your fantastic donations again.

There are some age groups that we are in urgent need for, so if you know anyone that may have outgrown these sizes please share/tag them.

For more information, or to book in your donation please head to www.littlegreensock.org/donate-clothes. We have a good stock of many of the items at the moment and limited space, so if its not on the wish list we do not have a current requirement for it.

As always thank you for your fantastic quality donations, especially the ones that come in clean and pre-labelled, you make us do a little happy dance when we see them!

How To Host A Successful Sleepover 🌙
✨ Invite children who you know will be comfortable sleeping at your home.
✨ Our beds are big, they are made for adults. So to ensure there's no disappointment on the day, measure your space to ensure our set-up will fit as, while we like to say we work magic, we cannot move large items of furniture or knock down walls. If the beds do not fit, they do not fit.
✨ Clear your designated sleepover room of any clutter and remove precious items that your child or you, may be protective of.
✨ Remember to buy breakfast. Bagels, chocolate spread and chopped fruit are a good choice.
✨ Prepare yourself for a late night, it's a sleepover after all, but let your guests know what your expectations are at the start. Tell them what time lights out will be, so they know what they are working towards.
✨ Don't forget the snacks. Snacks are an integral part of any sleepover.
✨ Crafts or pamper sessions work well in conjunction with our sleepovers but there are lots of activities you could incorporate to move the event along fluidly. Think painting nails and face masks or jewellery making or a gaming session on an Xbox.
✨ Pizza makes a good meal for your sleepover guests. Home-cooked are a cheap meal or if you want to splurge, takeaway pizza can be served straight from the box saving you washing up and effort.
✨Factor your guests laying in later than usual in the morning. Do not expect them to be up and full of the joys of spring at their usual early hour. While they will have had a comfy sleep (that much we guarantee), they will have undoubtedly had a lot less sleep than normal. So plan for a lazy morning. Let them lull about, enjoying breakfast on their trays in the tents. Everything can be cleaned so don't worry about that!
✨Relax! A sleepover party should be a stress free event. We do all the set up and take down and we can even arrange extras for you like craft activities or pamper kits. All you need to do is remind the kids to sleep. And maybe pour yourself a couple of glasses of prosecco.

Soft pink and silver, such a pretty combination. ✨
