Everything comes along at once

An exciting week.  Boscombe Vintage Fair has a market once a month and I had applied with my mum to have a stall.  My mum has been sewing since she was twelve years old and helps me out when I have wedding dresses to do and I am behind with my sewing but I also help her with her vintage styled accessories. She has a facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Millymoll/421517547885955, and is in the process of setting up an Etsy shop.  We didnt think that we had the stall as it is near Christmas so we then applied for a space at the Anonymous travelling market at Wilton in November.  On the same morning we heard from both the Boscombe Vintage Fair and the Anonyous market that we can sell our wares there.  Exciting and busy times.  Need to plan how to display items, make a few more and on a practical note we need to get public liability insurance.

As well I also heard from the Princes Trust and had an interview with them.  Now it is just a waiting game to see if I can get on their four day course in November.  I need help with marketing etc and the business side of working for myself.

Here are a few photos of the things we make for Millymoll, vintage style accessories:

Photo: A small sinamay fascinator decorated with beautiful beaded lace and a silk rose.  Ii is easy to wear as it has a hairclip to attach to hair

Photo: Two lovely veils, one pale pink with a 1950's type bow and the other an ivory decorated with lace flower motifs

Photo: The cherrys look great on a winter coat, again crocheted with a brooch back

Photo: Collars are in this year and this lace version is very pretty
