These handmade frames were made by my friend becky! Aren't they lovely?!
On sunday they ran an event which was a clothing fair, where people could bring along their old clothes, shoes and accessories to sell. When I first heard about the event on facebook I thought 'what a great idea'! There isn't a girl who doesn't need to get rid of a few old wardrobe items, and you never know, one girl's trash is another's treasure. Having had an eBay frenzy recently, I had been left with a pile of stuff that had been unsold a few times, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to try and sell some stuff off cheap and get rid of it! I requested a table and on Sunday I went with my friend Beth to set up and try and flog my things.
I told myself I wasn't allowed to buy a thing, as I wanted to save what I made! Unfortunately it wasn't too busy, as I don't think the event was advertised very well! However, I did make a fiver in a couple of hours, so that's better then nothing! I'm thinking I need to donate the left over clothing to charity, or give to my mum to sell at the next car boot sale she goes to!
I thought this was such a good idea, and perhaps something they should advertise to do weekly! Although I didn't buy anything, there were definitely a few bargains to be had..
this looks really lovely, it's a shame they didn't advertise properly! your friends frames are so pretty too! x
