Camden Times!

Me and my friend, Saxon have been busy making jewellery for our day out in Camden. I loved this time because we were more prepared for the day, and it was less stressful setting up! As you can see, we make a lot of jewellery. ;) This is why I have been absent from the shop lately.

I had a great time bonding and making new friends, although it was unexpectedly quiet! I'm still glad I did it though, because I met Natalie from Milk River and she made me realise that I need to add value to my products, because they are unique and people should have a unique experience, so that I will not be discounting my stuff so harshly from now on :). We also traded our products, as I'm in love with handmade goodness and collect a lot of them :).

Here is the goodies that I got:

I'll be adding stuff gradually to the shop tomorrow too, and I have some DIYs in store this week, which I hope you will like!

Studio Shennanigans.

I've been busy making A LOT of things for mine and my friends day of selling in Camden! Some will be featured in a YouTube video tomorrow. I've been making loads of necklaces and bracelets and a few earrings, which I hope everyone will like!

I'm also selling a few pieces from my sister's online shop, Lotty Lotts Jewellery! Here are a few pieces of what I'd be selling:

If there's anything in particular that you want to get from mine or my sister's shop should do so now before this Friday, as I will be shutting up for the weekend, due to selling in Camden.

If anyone visits, I accept Mastercard/ Maestro card payments, so you can snap up some things with less hassle! :)

What I've been up to in pictures.

Celebrating my awesome friends birthday. We went to Tinseltown in Oxford Circus, and it was lovely, I even got a free dessert because of the fact that my 2nd meal didn't come. :)








Me and my awesome friend went to Brighton for the day... awesome relaxing times :).



Selling in Camden- awesome times despite the sunburn that I'm STILL recovering from, lol.

I have started my new line, which is called Iffy Jewellery. It will feature all my woven textiles and turned into awesome jewellery! I wanted to take a more professional and personal path to my business so this is why I have done it, as well as pushing my passion for jewellery making! :).

Good ol' selling in Camden.

Myself and my amazingly talented friend, Amelie went to sell our jewellery and clothing in Camden Market again! It was an amazing day, because I got to meet a great guy called Dan, who sells handmade screen-printed clothing at Cherry Laundry! He was great to talk to, and I felt refreshed at the end of the day because he gave me the motivation to keep selling my things in Camden!

One of my closest friends showed up as well and bought one of my hair slides, I was well touched! I'm so happy that we both got some sales in our stall, so I think with some improvements with our presentation, we can actually make something of ourselves! This time round, I had some kind of confidence, and it made me happy that through all the tiredness, I still had the energy to keep smiling and talking to the customers! It seems like going to the gym beforehand really relaxes me for days like this.

Sorry it's been a while since I've been blogging, I have been busy, and still am, but I will be making some time for you guys! :)

Thanks for reading, have a great day!

What I have learnt.

Since my amazing adventure in Camden yesterday, I felt as if it was a great learning experience. It was a great way to just really think about what I am doing wrong and what I need to do to further improve my sales when I return there. I really want to make a success of myself online and offline. I'm not the most religious person ever, but I felt as if God had given me the courage and confidence to expose myself to the public and go to Camden with my friend to think about what people like and don't like, and what sells!

I woke up today... 6am to be exact, because my new blackberry decided to fail on me and die even though I charged it last night! Anyway, I layed there for a couple of hours, and a ton of ideas came to me! Then I went on ebay and bought a few lovely supplies to create some necklaces. I really want to create jewellery, and I have had this hidden passion for a while, but it was since my internship that I am now taking the plunge.

So I have decided, that in all future stalls:
- I will no longer bring LOADS of clothing like I always do. Some of the clothes I make look a lot better on the mannequin, and when its just hanging there on the clothing rail, it doesn't show it off as usual. From now on, it will be the simple, statement pieces that I will bring.
- I will be bringing a lot of accessories, so that all you lovely people can snap up some little pieces to remember me by if you can't afford to buy some of the clothing!

That's all I remember right now, but I am trying to have a lot more focus and attention to details when doing this.

Have a great evening!

Camden Market Times!

Hello everyone!

Today I am just going to write a quick post on me and my friends adventure in our market stall in Camden. 

It was really great, although it was really quiet, so there wasn't a lot of customers to check out our stuff, but nonetheless, we had such an amazing time, and we swapped some of our creations, which I will be rocking in future outfit posts! We munched on vegan burgers, Chinese food, burgers and had gallons of caffeine (lots of coke and coffees/fraps). It was also a great way to brainstorm some ideas on how we can display our creations properly, and hopefully get a better stall! It seems that the earlier you come, the more likely you are to get a better stall, so next time, I will arrive 30 minutes earlier than before, so that we can get a more attractive stall, and get a lot more sales!

I would say she is one of my greatest friends, I am glad that we are working together on our stall! We are hopefully also going to the Oktoberfest in Germany, seeing as its probably around the time of my birthday. 

Here are some photos:

 Amelie loves my stuff, that's why we work well together! :D

My postcards I ordered from Vistaprint FINALLY came! I love them, I am gonna use them for our next event! :) This was exactly what I needed to promote myself even more. :) I have used a couple of them to display in my studio space, and I hope this will make me want to be true to myself.

Man, am I tired? I've already drawn out a plan for next time we come, so I hope this time it really well!

Good night lovelies!

Much Love Mondays #04: Lucky Kunst

Hello guys,

As you are reading this, I am partially 1/2 packing for my day out on my stall in Camden tomorrow, and 1/2 doing my daily reading on my favorite blogs.

I love this artist, and not because she is my friend. :) Her name is Amelie, and I met her at my work experience in Tatty Devine. I had such a wicked time working with her, and I feel that I loved her even more because we think alike in the sense that we both had wanted to run our own businesses, and we were both passionate about creating pieces. I feel absolutely blessed to have met her.

Here are a few favorite pieces from her etsy store:


Geometric Wood Necklace



Banana Necklace


Pink Heart Ring

I love her items, mostly because they are painstakingly handmade, everything in her shop is handmade with love.

She says in her statement:

"By trying to think out of the box, we always find ourselves climbing up higher stages of mind and creativity. Our art pieces and jewellery do strongly represent this way of thinking. We want to connect the beautiful with the weird. The superficiality of life and society with the seriousness and criticism. But still, tongue in cheek, `coz life's a theatre play"

 I also feel as if some of her pieces compliment my own designs! I hope one day we can incorporate a shoot with hers and my own designs for my Autumn/Winter 11/12 collection! But if you are in London, please visit our stall on Tuesday, and snag a few of her gorgeous pieces! :)

Have a great day!
