I'm back...

Well it's been a while... Apologies for my lack of blogging, I've never been very good at this blogger lark but this time I'm gonna stick to it!!

Blogging was a chore on my old laptop, I'd upload pics and end up getting very frustrated at it's slowness and constant crashing. I never got a new one because it wasn't broke, just a big pain in the bum. But one day I turned it on and was faced by a blank screen, so after ranting about "how they don't make 'em like they used to", I decided to embrace modern technology and got myself a schnazzy pink number (granted I only bought it for it's prettiness), but I have to say I'm a little in love!

 So what's new with Vintage Laura xx? Well I've done 2 more Sutton Vintage and Arts fairs - photos can be found on my Facebook page. One where I met the lovely Vintage Vixen! I'm soon to have my advertisement in The Vintage Directory - you can pre-order your copy here. I'm currently working on some new one-off jewellery pieces, a Marilyn pendant range, a new Summer-inspired range, purses and cushions. I'm also trying to tackle creating a website which is coming along quite nicely!

Now time for me to catch up with your blogs!!

Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair...

Yesterday I sold my goods at SV&AF and it was a roaring success :-)

Lots of people queued up despite the dull rainy weather outside and I think everyone who visited would agree that it was a wonderful day, with lots of vintage, dancing and cupcakes!!!

I managed to take lots of piccies of my stall but my batteries drained so I couldn't take any more pics around the fair :-(

I'm looking forward to doing many more fairs in the future!!

Al that glitters is not gold...

 Latest makes ; Vintage inspired brooches and pendants

Apologies for my lack of blogging, it's been very stressy here at Vintage Laura HQ!

I haven't even got round to thanking Bruce from Eclectic Ephemera for my Stylish Blogger Award (I will be blogging my 7 facts soon!)

It's now 2 weeks till Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair (cue mad panic!!)

I think I'll take this advice;

... well at least try to anyway!!!

Vintage Photos...

Well I've embraced modern technology and have finally given up on my temperamental 80 year old Singers and got myself a new electric one which I've had fun playing around with making some vintage inspired pieces!

Lavender Scented Hearts

"Summer Holiday" - unsure whether to mount this in a frame or make it into a cushion?!

Stitched Postcard

Vintage Postcard Cards

These will all be available to buy at Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair but if any of my pieces take your fancy then feel free to email me :-)

And talking about Sutton Vintage, check out the new flyer!

Lovely isn't it?!

Can I also thank all my lovely followers, 30 so far!!

Let's make it 50 and I'll have a big giveaway ;-)

Just a quick 'un...

I'm not very good at this whole "blogging" thing am I?! Sorry, but in my defence the dongle is to blame! Anyone who has had to suffer with using a dongle will feel my pain! 

Anywho just a quick update today to let you all know that I'll be at Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair on Sunday 13th March at Sutton Coldfield Town Hall. I'm rather excited to have my first stall and I've been busy making lots of things which I will (hopefully) blog about tomorrow depending on whether the dongle has a good day ;-) 

Hope to see some of you there!

And a "shoe update" from the last post! The Clothes Show was wonderful as per, the male models were on top form! But..... prepare yourselves..... There was no Irregular Choice store this year :-( Me and my sister we rather gutted! But fear not, my sister got me the gorgeous shoes for Christmas :-) :-) :-) YEY!

Also a special hello to Vintage Vixen, seen as my mother got to say that to you in person today!! She's still telling me about your meeting, you are officially a celeb ;-)

And finally HAPPY 2011 to all my lovely followers!!
