Second Hand Rose - Coming Soon!

Inspired by the love of vintage &  the song sung by the charming Fanny Brice {and Babs Streisand} may I introduce 

SECOND HAND ROSE CHESHIRE

Second Hand Rose will be located in the Antiques & Collectables emporium in Blakemere Craft Centre. We will be stocking vintage furniture, clothing, jewellery, fabric, buttons, books, recycled & refashioned handmade creations and lots and lots of wonderful English Porcelain and the occasional American treasure!
We specialise in beautiful things!
The majority of our collection comes from the 1950s and before. In retails terms, vintage is anything 20 years old or older. However my friend and business partner Jayne love the 1920s to 1950s most of all! Each item at Second Hand Rose will be hand selected by Jayne or myself.



We will launch online in the future too so people who aren't near Sandiway Cheshire can also snap up a vintage treasure! In the mean time Second Hand Rose Cheshire can be found on Facebook and will soon have a blog :)
Stop by and "like" us!

While waiting for our spot to open up {that's a story in itself} Jayne and I are busy removing stock from The Vintage Shop, picking up new stock when we see it and saving pennies in order to get our insurance and pay our deposits. It's all scary and exciting! It's not full time work, so we'll also be taking stalls in markets, having home sales and attending fêtes and fairs. Maybe even a market near you!
 
Why am I moving forward when I'm still not sure what I want to be when I grow up?
I'm am fed up of not getting anywhere with job applications, it is soooo bizarre how I have not even had a single interview! I've got lots of experience in quite a few areas! I'm a hard worker! I'm hire-able! I have good references and a well groomed CV/resume!  I even sent a request through their website to the management at my husband's job asking if they were hiring cleaners and she didn't even get back to me!One of the existing shops that stocked my jewellery and vintage stuff is closing down. I'll lose that income in 3 weeks time.
So that's it! I'm not gonna take it anymore! I'm pulling up my boot straps and taking matters into my own hands! I've sought wise advice. I've sought guidance from Business Link. And it's positive!

Here we go! Another big ole leap of faith! Look Ma' no hands!

Fabulous Friends and Ruby Slippers!

I am sooo excited! Tomorrow I'll be starting a feature called Fabulous Friend Friday -taadaaaa!

I can hardly wait!

We'll get a chance to learn a little more about each other in an informal and fun way AND we'll also get a chance to see what gorgeousness our new friends have in their world!
This is going to be SO much fun!

{I'll give you a hint about our first Fabulous Friend: She loves to read & create.
That's all ya get!}

In other news Mr Woo and I are thinking about our costumes for the Haunted Honeys Halloween Burlesque Ball. I haven't even acknowledged Halloween since I was a kid. I can't even remember the last time I dressed up in costume! But since we're going out with friends and it's a special event I'm gonna play along - I'm going to dress up as Dorothy. I already have my ruby slippers {thank you Lindsay!} and my friend Jayne is going to help me make the dress, find a Toto & basket.
Forget Halloween, my new gingham dress and ruby slippers are probably going to become my everyday uniform!

WANTED!

How will I be able to stand so much fabulousness!
