OK… You Win!

Faded Splendour — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:32:40 +0000

Lots of people we know (you know who you are) have been nagging me to begin blogging on a regular basis again. I never really meant to stop blogging, but somehow it just happend. I began to look at things on the site and see quite a few things both in design and marketing, that I wasn’t quite happy with.

Over the last couple of days I have made quite a few changes to fadedsplendour.com, mostly stuff you will never see, but will make this site better. I am not quite there yet, there are still quite a few things that need tweaking and some more bells and whistles to add….. but I am getting there!

So for all you that nagged me….thank you! OK you won! We’re back!

Little Vintage Lover Fair Nov 2009 Burnham Market Photos

Faded Splendour — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:20:29 +0000

This is my 1st post for a few weeks as we have moved house, so I have been without my beloved computer for a while.

Currently I’m I have no broadband connection or dial up so I am reliant on a mobile Vodaphone dongle (I love that word) which most of the time seems slower than dial up.

This Sunday we did The Little Vintage Lover Fair at Burnham Market as with Zoe’s previous fairs the day was really enjoyable, very busy and in a great location. Saw lots of old friends and also made a few new ones too.. So we would just like to say a big thank you to everybody that made the event so much fun!

Here’s some photos…please be aware, I have just bought a new camera and am not quite used to it yet so some snaps might not be quite the best quality!

Faded Splendour’s pitch for the day:

Tracey’s felt flowers sold very well..

as did her textiles…

Linda’s stock at Past Caring, Holt…always leaves us green with envy!

As does Dianne’s

Daniella?? at Acorn and Will made a few purchases from us…

Its always nice to see Sara, who has become a felt flower addict…

Im now panicking that all these photographs without brodband will take forever to upload…. so I am going to thumbnail the rest below! Feel free to pinch them but please do leave me a credit on your site.
