We had so much fun at our first ever vintage market. We got to meet some of our beautiful customers in the very stylish flesh. Now that I have tweeked out some problems with collapsing rails I'm sure our next one will be even better.

After a busy week getting everything ready I've had my feet up with bloglovin' on my lap all day but I promise I will post some pics tommorow with all the fab finds I spent my profits on.

We Love Flares

Photobucket

I made my mum teach me to sew when I was 15 after I became obsessed with 70's flares. I made a tonne of pairs in every fabric possible, including a pair of bright lime green (yikes). In the next few weeks Resurrection Vintage will be reviving my love of the flare. The shop will be stocked full of one off lace, crochet, floral and sequined flares.

Vintage we loved

I've always loved the thrill that comes with vintage shopping. Finding a forgotten treasure tucked away in a hidden corner of the world is like a drug to me. Even when I was young I would thrift shop with my mum and beg for things I found. Over the years I built up quite a collection (half didn't fit or were totally impractical but looking at them hanging in my wardrobe would always make me smile)
Selling on eBay seemed the only sensible answer, I could make a little extra coin while searching for my next vintage high. Posting an item is such a bitter sweet moment. I'm always a little sad to let anything go but happy to hear from a customer who is as madly in love with an item as I was.
When I miss my sold items a little to much I scroll back over my albums. Here are a few I hope come across my path again one day.
