What a weekend! Not only was there glorious weather, but glorious shopping to be had. On Saturday I made the perilous journey from west to east London in search of a vintage jumble sale - I had heard tales of these wondrous events but had yet to behold one with my own eyes. It did not disappoint! After half an hour or so of queuing, we were ushered upstairs and given the choice of a medium bag or a large bag. I chose large, naturally. We were then free to rummage to our hearts content, and fill the bag with whatever we could find. Any of you who have seen the Friends episode where Monica is buying her wedding dress will have some idea of the atmosphere in the room. Indie girls with their tiny shorts and bleach blonde crops were fighting each other over peter-pan collared tea dresses, while the boys in impossibly skinny jeans tussled over yet another denim shirt. It was great fun! I managed to fill my large bag with a mixture of dresses, jackets and belts, and fingers crossed I've made a couple of good finds! The best of the crop will be up here shortly.
In other news, the 'Made' side of things is coming along nicely - I'm playing around with a new dress idea all of my own, the toile has turned out pretty well, so just need to pick some fabric now. I will put up some more pics this week of my sample pieces, from which point I will be open to all orders!
Exciting times!
Lots of love,
Amy
