Catwalk Creative Vintage Clothes Party

12 06 2009

bannerfan1I’m really looking forward to this coming Sunday.  I’m hosting a vintage clothes party and I can’t wait!  A couple of my girlfriends had hinted a while back that they’d love an afternoon of ‘elegant slumming‘ with pals, frocks and a glass or two of chilled wine.  Who am I to argue?

First I had to clear out the lounge of all my daughter’s favourite toys.  No small feat I can tell you.  Our lounge area is around 23 ft long so there’s plenty of space for everything, apart from rails full of clothes that is!  Initially I thought I could manage by discreetly hiding away a few toys here and there.  However, it just wasn’t working and so the toys had to go!

My plan was to transform the lounge and give it a cosy vintage boutique feel.  I hope you’ll agree that I’ve managed to achieve that.  It’s really only been possible because I’ve a considerable cellar – and that’s where all the toys will be living for the next few days!  How on earth did I manage without a cellar before I moved here?

So, my clothes have been tagged and I’ve filled four clothes rails full of vintage dresses, blouses and skirts.  I’ve got a wicker basket overflowing with fabrics and another rail with vintage bags and t-shirts.  I honestly didn’t realise the amount of vintage I’d accumulated over the last few months so the clothes party is a going to be a great way of clearing out my stock to make way for more.  I can’t think of a better way to do it!

I’ve invited around twenty of my best girlfriends who in turn are bringing along a friend or two.  I can almost feel the excitement in the air!!!

I’ve lots of plans for the coming year and want to expand my business with the possiblity of opening a bricks and mortar shop too.  It’s all go in this household!

Wish me luck! oxoxo
