Highlights of the past few months that I've not be

Highlights of the past few months that I've not been on Instagram....for some much needed headspace!
1. wee seaside break with my two favourite people
2. Little babe turning 4
3. Making my first ever birthday cake for the kid.....not perfect but it made him happy!
4. At the beach
5. More time at the beach
6. Even more time at the beach (our favourite place)
7. I qualified as a swimming teacher, and have been back doing lots of swimming for myself too which always helps me feel better/good.
8. Running about a rose garden in the sun
9. Planting our veggies and seedlings appearing
10. Watching them grow ! (Ted and the veg!)

Snippets of a few months where nothing major has happened but lots of lovely times alongside the usual stresses of life. And by going through my camera role more time than I realised at our beach down the road!
Back to sourcing and mending and this time away has given me the headspace I needed to work out what I want to do and how I want to do it with Hope Town, which means me learning some new skills and it all being a bit slower.

Hope everyone is having a lovely summer ✌🏻

Hello! I've not been on here for a while, I've be

Hello!
I've not been on here for a while, I've been working away on something totally unrelated to vintage and hopefully once I'm all qualified it will run nicely alongside Hope Town 😊

To be honest it's been very quiet and the struggle to be seen on socials and keep momentum just made me feel quite rubbish and like whatever I was doing wasn't enough, and my ideas were crap and the constant worry of selling took away the joy I had a little!
I won't be adding new stock to the website until the summer however I am adding new pieces to the Vinted shop all the time! For now it's quicker for me to upload and it's seen by more people, so do pop over and have a look (the pieces pictured are all available!) Same amazing vintage as always!

And hopefully I can go back to sharing bits and bobs I like without the pressure/comparison/crap I'm sure everyone trying to run a business feels!

I've mentioned before but Hope Town was never about just flipping clothes, it was about making better fashion choices, giving old pieces a new life and using existing pieces and fabric rather than buying new, I just feel I got lost a little along the way!

I hope you like the new old gems and do let me know if there's anything you'd like the see more of!

Florals because it's spring....knits because it's cold! We're having a very wet couple of weeks! I'm hoping for some sun so I can shoot the new vintage I have sourced and share it all as soon as poss!

Until then there are lots of lovely bits still on the website perfect for this in-between weather, that will see you through summer and beyond!

Vintage to keep and love forever!

Some things on Pinterest I like.....

I've maybe shared some of these before, does anyone keep going back to images they like over and over? For me it's always embroidery and mending images. I think it's those French workwear jackets that need some work and all the mending I have to get done in the back of my mind! Hopefully all these ideas will come into fruition soon ✨✌🏻 (the floral quilted coat and striped marimekko boiler suit are just things I wish I had!)

✨Vintage and perfectly worn in Mickey sweatshirt

✨Vintage and perfectly worn in Mickey sweatshirts that are in the shop now!

So cool, so easy to wear and the perfect piece of everyday vintage ✨

If you compare these to the ones you can now get on the high street the quality is just so much better!

Don't buy new....choose vintage!
