Buy Handmade

Hey! We havn't posted in a few weeks because we have been developing our business plans and ideas. Its exciting to think of the different avenues open to us at the moment.

On the other hand, there have been development in the VintageZebras range with a few new products on the table now. The online shop has been upgraded and updated and can be viewed here as well as a constant feed of updates from our Facebook page.

I have been popping into a few vintage/craft fairs recently and its great to see people using their talents and sharing them with the public. There are so many great handmade products out there and I have become really interested in the Buy Handmade campaign. 

The campaign has been created in order to encourage people to shop from independent shops and markets/fairs that stock products made with care and attention and usually by the person behind the counter. It is very important that in these times where money is tight and the economic news really is doom and gloom, that we support and encourage the growth of this talented community. These are the products that give life and personality back into gift giving (whether its a gift for yourself or someone else) and we can all stand to promote this colourful community and give our hard-earned cash to those who will appreciate it rather than the mass-poduced, faceless companies that dominate the high street.

Contact your local council or keep an eye out for any flyers/posters in your local area to find out about any fairs or markets coming up soon. I know where I'll be doing my Christmas shopping this year!
