Happy New Year!
I now have a new Mac (very scary!) and am just learning how to use it. I would post a picture or two, but can't work out how to AAH! Still, I can at least update my blog and let you know all that has been going on in the happy world of Vintage Marquees!
We have had a major tidy and sort out of our stock room, so all is looking much more orderly now. The end of last season was just mad, and all our stock was in and out in such a frenzy, it is great to feel under control at last! Good to do a stock take too (always useful to know how many tables and chairs I have!) and to start re-taking all my library photos. The plan is to have a comprehensive library so that every item on the hire list can be highlighted so the detail can be seen (e.g. just how rustic the trestle tables are etc).
Some exciting new contacts...I have teamed up with Russ who organises the vintage nostalgia show in May at Stockton Park in Wiltshire. (www.vintagenostalgiashow.co.uk) That should be a fantastic event for all vintage enthusiasts. Also in April I am exhibiting at the vintage wedding fair in Frome (www.discovervintage.co.uk).
We are looking into buying a few more marquees, so hopefully we will have one large enough to accommodate 100-120, the most popular size for weddings it seems!
Until next time.....
