Hi all!!
Gosh totally neglected the blog! Im soooo sorry!!
Its kinda crazy ATM at Vintage Gems HQ. With all my uni coursework, keeping the page running, making xmas stock for the Manchester Christmas Markets & of course looking after my house & my boo i dont have time for ANYTHING!!
Ive been working with a lovely chap called Dave who is going to be building me a website after Christmas, i wasnt that impressed with my last one & wanna go really professional so Dave is gonna help :-)
Talking of Christmas im getting OBSESSED!! Just 5 weeks to go till the EXCLUSIVE Manchester Christmas Markets.. Im soooooo nervous!! Its going to be really hard work, but hopefully worth it!! You will notice if you are attending that my stock is themed.... I just thought it would be easier to display, but dont worry you can still pick up a vintage find at a bargain price!! I am going to make Christmas Shopping VERY easy for you!!
I have also made a special piece, which is going to be the most expensive piece on display, but also the most amazing!!!
Hope to see you all there!!
I love vintage!! Each & everything with a history! These day however the vintage trend has caught on BIG STYLE! Larger shops such as Selfridges & Harvey Nicks are selling vintage inspired pieces for BIG $! As a single mum i cant afford these pieces and to be honest dont want a mass produced piece SO i make my own out of finds from charity shops, flea markets & antique fairs. They usually are damanged and need restoring and that is what i do to make my reworked vintage items x
