I entered a competition for a new business to win a stand at Country Livings pop-up market, i entered the competition and sent in a few images of my work.
I can't believe it but i won a place on the Saturday (29th) i was so excited for the chance to have a stand there! There was over 200 applicants and only 27 people got the place so i felt really lucky!
It was being held at Alexandra Palace in London, so i travelled from Norfolk that morning all the way to London in my little mini!
I asked Lizzie if she would come and help me. So off we both went to London!
Here is my stand all set up and ready to open, Ive got my new range of stools which i am so pleased with and glad i could take them to the show.
It was amazing to talk to the people who run country living and they couldn't believe i was only 23 and still at university which to me isn't a big deal but they seemed to think it was.
Overall the day went amazingly and it was so busy and i had a lot of contact with interiors designers and customers who all had such nice things to say.
I have now been accepted to for christmas show which is so exciting as my knitwear will be in the right season which i think will sell well at the christmas fair.
It was a great experience and i feel that ive learnt a lot about myself but also how i want my business to come across to people, i know i want it to be a luxury brand and also that my target market is defiantly London based.
