Hello Ladies! Had a little brainwave last night, and I think it's quite an exciting one....
I've had a few people asking for bespoke pieces, and measurements need to be taken and people also asking about payments and sizes. A lot of people have asked if they can come round and look at my stuff, and i've had quite a few people visit my house and find things they wouldn't have normally liked just from looking at the pictures online! I currently have a lot of stock that needs to be shifted and I am willing to sell it off very cheap, soooo....... what do you all think to.... A Savana Vintage & Handmade Partaaaay? Almost like an Ann Summers or Body shop party, only with my stock! I was thinking wine and nibbles at mine, and I can get all my stock out for you to try on and take a look at. I understand that people can feel a bit funny buying handmade online as you can't always be sure of the quality, so it will be a good chance for you to take a look at the quality of my handmade & altered pieces!

I've had quite an exciting week this week in regards to new ideas, new things and business opportunities!
This time last week I was a seller at Crikey, it's vintage in Exeter, selling all my vintage and handmade bits. . Hearing some of the feedback from buyers was definitely a confidence booster, and having confidence in what you do is definitely the key to a successful business!
Unfortunately I was kept quite busy on the day and forgot to take more pictures, but this basically sums up what my stuff looked like on the rails! Whilst I was there I picked up a few bits for myself too. My absolute favorite thing I bought on the day was a beautiful headband from Crown & Glory. I literally haven't taken it off and it matches my hair so well! I also got a quirky little hair grip with a dog on that I just think is absolutely hilarious!


As well as these little buys I finally received the CD i've been waiting for for absolutely ages, it definitely got sent all around the world before it finally got to me, I nearly forgot about it. But if you need something to get ready to before a night out, this is definitely the best CD to invest in! I'm no music critic or anything so i'll just leave it at IT'S AMAZING. Fabric is a London nightclub, that releases monthly compilations mixed by different DJ's. I bought the album that was mixed by Spank Rock, but I definitely want to get the Diplo and Evil Nine versions as well.

This week I finished a bespoke piece, which I so wish I could keep for myself! I made a circle skirt using some lovely glittery fabric, and I was asked to make a pencil skirt version. I'm not a huge fan of glitter but it's nice and subtle, pain in the arse to work with though, couldn't wait to finish it so I didn't have to deal with that evil fabric anymore! The first picture is the original skirt, and underneath is the newest. Excuse the poor quality, it was taken on my phone and it was a quick picture to show the buyer the length etc.
