June already...?

It has been a completely manic Month of May......

Firstly to kick off the month i exhibited at the first ever 'Kitsch and Stitch' event in Cranbrook and what a fantastic day that was!!

Not only was it amazingly well attended (with lots of friendly customers which is always nice!) it was fabulously organised by two lovely ladies who made us all feel very very welcome! It was a perfect place to launch my new range of Pick & Mix cake stands which went down a treat and almost sold out.

Cakes on sale were delish and all for a good cause which made eating them obviously less sinful - and i met some really lovely stall holders with beautiful items!

I can't wait to be back for the next ones!!

Last weekend we had the crazy costume sale - again we met the most fantastic people - the costumes are beginning their new life in new Theatre Productions, Pantomimes, Fancy Dress Hire and some are winging their way to the USofA to the Burning Man festival......(how does that work that a costume travels more than me this year - hmmmm something needs fixing!!)

There are still some lovely costumes & props left, plus tons of amazing buttons, trims and fabrics - so we are thinking of another one either later this month or in July - if you are interested then please drop a line to me and i will add you to the email list once details are ready.

Finally in May i attended my first Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair at Spitalfields Market - what a terrific day! Beautiful stalls, lovely people, some fabulous outfits and a profit to boot - a very very happy bunny!! Can't wait until the next one.....
