Hello everyone!
Let me introduce you to my new blog:
Suzy Gaby and Maud
Named after Suzy (my Belgian Aunt), Gaby (my Belgian Grandmother) & Maud (my English Grandmother) all of whom have influenced me over the years. Sadly all three have now passed away but this is my way of remembering and honouring them. Between them, they had incredible sewing, knitting and crafting skills. I only wish I had been more interested in learning their skills when I was a child. My interest in sewing and craft is a lot more recent. However, my interest in vintage and antiques started when I was a child!
It may not come as a surprise to some of you to find out that, for quite some time I have slowly been working towards opening an online shop. After all, for those of you who already follow my other blog (Suzy's Vintage Attic), did you really think I was going to keep all those vintage goodies to myself? ;-)))
Much as I'd love to keep everything that I have bought, that would not be the way to run a business...
I am still working on my website/online shop which I aim to launch towards the end of October (fingers crossed!). This blog will keep you informed of events/fairs I will be attending and new products listed on my website when it is up and running.
My first fair will be at The Vintage Bazaar in Frome, Somerset on Saturday 30th October 2010. I will be selling vintage items such as textiles, haberdashery, homewares, gifts, clothes, small items of painted furniture, jewellery, religious items and more. I will also have a few handmade items.
Starting up Suzy Gaby and Maud has been very time consuming. I already work for myself from home, doing non vintage related work. There has been so little time for crafting and making things. I haven't had as much time for blogging either, so appologies if I haven't visited your blogs of late. I have spent a lot of time on the computer over the past few months...as well as scribbling ideas and designs in my notebook. It will be nice to have some time to make things instead of working on the website, business cards and all the other work that comes with setting up a business.
