So I pop online the other night, as ya do, and I come across another one of my pieces sold, first of all I am thrilled and excited and then I realise that it is actually a fellow buddy of mine on Etsy, whom I have grown to love!!! She is an absolute howl and is just a great person to know. When I first started chatting in the forums on Etsy I met this lady and knew that she was from Ireland , but didn't realise that she was only 30 mins away from me!! I mean how small is this world, out of a site containing hundreds of thousands of people I met and became friends with someone only living down the road from me! (also baring in mind that Etsy is more based in America than in Europe!). Well she bought one of my pieces from me, and I will get a chance to see her wearing it next week over coffee!! oh the wonder of the world wide web .
(oh and if I don't post for a while send out the emergency services, not quite sure if this ones a lunatic for real just yet!!! ) lol.............only kidding (no seriously!) :)

OF ETSY!!!
Ok ......where do I start to explain this one to you. It was a very ordinary day in bonzieville when I popped into check on my shop before heading to work and KABAMM, there it was staring back at me , my own creation, little ruffled babydoll dress sitting on the front page of Etsy for thousands to notice. (in Etsy land this is huge, considering there are approx 100,ooo sellers on there)
I think I rang everyone, and can I just say the people that didn't know much about Etsy, just thought I had lost the plot altogether, I was very incoherrent at the time! Must have sounded like a crazy woman at 9 in the morning babbling bout front woojamacallits and such.
Well the traffic to my shop was tremendous and the congratulations were flying through the air amongst my fellow etsy community. I think that was my 5 mins of fame. I can rest in peace now!! lol

So the most hearted item in my shop has sold this week and is destined for Manchester, England. I am always amused to think that a piece of mine would be so far away in someones wardrobe! Its great.
I have been working on accessories this week as I am hoping that its a little easier to move things that don't require fitting. I have some stunning pieces on the way guys, and I will be doing a photoshoot next Saturday so hold tight for etsy shop update! Oh and a really quirky accessory on the way that will be sure to impress even the most discerning fashionistas!
Yesterday I had one of the most productive days ever in the studio and I am sure it was a lot to do with the fact that I had Amy Lee of Evanescence on play on the laptop all day! I was playing her music videos in the background and was imaginging her as a muse, it was great, I love that romantic, nostalgic, gothic, victorian flair to her videos and it really rubbed off in the pieces I came up with yesterday! So thank you Amy, (call me if you need any new items for your next video!!)lol
have a great weekend everyone.

Thats right gals, after only a little over a week having set up shop on etsy I had a sale!! I have to say the rush of adrenalin I got when I read the email to say I had a sale blew me away!! My heart was hoppin in my chest, guess I just wasn't expecting it, at least not for another few months. So I was thrilled, a little sad to see one of my favourite pieces (pictured above) head off on its merry way to California but also really pleased. The blue corset has a really antique finish to it, I used vintage material and distressed further to look antique, it actually looks like it was lying in a chest in an attic for years, just the way I like it. lol. I included a handembellished clutch made from beautiful vintage fabric to commemorate the first buyer. I hope they keep coming, oh, and that the high is the same as the first sale too!! lol

So my etsy store is up and running for a few days and I was really chuffed to see a bunch of hearts when I checked to see who had picked me as one of the favourites! I wasn't expecting any and suddenly I clicked on the page and the whole bunch of them came twirling out on the screen!! For those of you who are familiar with etsy, you know that this is a brilliant feeling!!
Its taking me some time to list items as my photo files were too big for etsy and I have to do a lot of tampering to get them compliant. grrrrrrrr......
So I have lots of stock to list, but it will be streaming online slowly but surely!!! lol
have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Ladies
After weeks of preparing stock for the launch of my online boutique, I have set about getting my shop up and running. All of the items on the blog will be available online at etsy, along with much more too! (except the lush red puffball dress, which my model just had to wear heading out on Sat night!.....well in fairness she did look amazing in it, lol )
I hope you enjoy and feel free to leave a comment with any queries that you might have!
