My Happy Vintage Home

Evening all.. I hope you have all had a lovely start to the week?

This post is all about Social Networking! How its has helped me and where it can lead...

Way back in February when I lauched Ladyamy Bespoke Wedding Design, My little vintage chic inspired Wedding Planning company, I was advised to get networking on the internet, Facebook / Blogging and Twitter..

Well, the thought of this simply scared me as I was hopeless on a computer and rubbish with the internet, and as a new Mummy where on earth would I find the time for this too?? However, social net working has been absolutely amazing for me as a business. Not only for building wonderful relationships within the industry, meeting some truely talented and lovely people, its actually been great for advertising and seeking advice and recommendations when I have needed. I also find that working from home can sometimes get a little, how can I put this? well, I miss the Girls from the office/salon heehee!! So its great to keep up to date with Wedding Gossip, Wedding Ramples and chat to others who are interested in Weddings and Vintage treasures as much as me.

My special Ladyamy letters made especially for my little studio

I have found keeping my blog up to date, fresh and honest, informing peeps of the highs and lows with launching a new business, has actually helped me build trust and success within the industry with more ease...

Launching a new business is always a little scary, especially with the economic climate the way it is at the moment and has been over the past couple of years. However, when you have a huge passion for something, a love of the industry, drive and a wonderful family and great friends supporting you, you will make a great business lady/fellow ;) and it will be a success...

Well what a gorgeous morning to get up bright and early and set off... the sun was shining, the sky was blue, I was super organised and Noah had had a very good nights sleep.

Both uber excited about the special place we were going to be visiting today and the people we were meeting (my Twitter friends)

Our long car journey started so well, but yes we got very very lost. I found out I was a rubbish, map reader / mummy and driver all at the same time, but as only a Mummy would the footwell was filled with snacks / drinks / books and toys for the little one heehee all in perperation for getting lost. So where were we going I hear you all ask?? to Northhampton to meet the Lovely Ali from Daisy Cup Cakes, Elle from Elle Stationery, Hayley from Vintage Scoops and a few other delightful and gorgeous ladies at....

When we finally made it to our destination, only a couple of hours late, Oopsie!! Sorry Ladies... Well what can I say wowie, what a super duper place it was. We were greeted by the Lovely Mrs 'My Happy Vintage Home' herself and her delightful daughter. We had a lovely welcome into their gorgeous home. Where I wandered around, in heaven, at the most incredible and awesome display of Vintage Goodyness and lovelyest treasues I have ever seen. Loved It!!

Here are a few of my images from their gorgeous vintage inspired and styled home..

I love the Vintage Shed. Oozing style, history and filled to the brim with pretty vintage treasures. It was literally like walking in to world of Narnia, but Vintage Wonderland!

Everything so precious and magical in its own right, with a story to tell.

I loved the random'ness of everything yet it all fits together so beautifully.  

You can find all of the lovely ladies from todays tweet-up on facebook.. so please do take a look at their pages and say Hi.

You can also find them under Ladyloves on my website, which is a list of all my fave suppliers
