A DAY AT THE VINTAGE FAIR

As the previous post described, I was kindly allowed to have a space on Belle Vintage's stall at a local vintage fair yesterday to sell my jewellery. I may only have sold a couple of rings due to the drizzly weather but I was delighted to get the chance to hear people's opinions on what I was making and spend the day with Ella. It was really interesting to see what people were buying clothes wise, and I'm particularly jealous of the person who took home the cream angora cardigan which just looked like the cosiest cardigan you could ever find.

I'm currently in the process of ordering some stock for sense and sensibility which has not been handmade by me, but that I have sourced myself. I've found some great jewellery on the internet over the years, and hopefully I'm going to sell some of those pieces in the shop. So keep your eyes open for that. Meanwhile, I've put these wonderful lego necklaces on the website, available in various colours for £6 excluding postage. They really brighten up any outfit, and add a quirky edge!

BUSINESS CARDS GALORE


For anyone who also follows Ella (BelleVintage), you'll know that she has kindly let me have a bit of space on her vintage stall at a local vintage market on Saturday. Having met her in real life at a previous vintage market, we had a reunion at Starbucks on Tuesday to discuss game plans, life and blogging. Three hours later, and we still hadn't run out of things to talk about but assignments were due the next day and I sadly had to say bye and head over to the library.

So for Saturday I'm selling the full range available on my shop, plus a few extras which will be put up on the shop at the weekend dependant on their success (think lego necklaces and maybe flower rings). My dad is a printer, and I had asked him to print me a few business cards to hand out to various people - when the box arrived today I realised that his few meant several hundreds of delicious looking business cards. I feel so pro!

I'll be posting tomorrow to show you what I'm taking to the market, and see what you think!
