Well the launch of Arrietty's Armoire shop at Blythe Con UK 2012 was fantastic!!! I absolutely loved the day and had such a fantastic time it is still making me feel so happy! It was so nice to finally meet loads of people in person who I'd only really spoke to online, everyone was friendly and just plain fun!
The hotel was so pretty and plush, even greeting you with the 'famous' warm cookie on arrival! Considering I was craving chocolate on the entire drive down, it was definitely appreciated!! I'm pretty sure that I'll be visiting Manchester again for another stay in the hotel, but also to wander around and take in the sites. Some of the buildings were so pretty, even if I didn't know what they were used for! ;)
Before the doors opened for everyone to rush through and buy pretty things, I was so nervous I was actually shaking. Needless to say I was worrying for nothing, like I said I couldn't have been happier for how it went! Here's a quick shot of me (now you'll know what I look like if you haven't found me on flickr!) and a picture of the table. I'm so proud of how it looked pretty and presentable, but I guess that might be the artist and perfectionist coming out in me! ;)
Even though I was a vendor I was able to go wandering around a fair few times thanks to my lovely sister
Miss Ellie-Lou for helping out! ;)
On the wanders I was able to snag some pretty things such as the Piparrot alpaca re-root (to die for), the Lounging Linda dress (was kicking myself for not snagging one at the last Blythe Con), rainbow hat by Polly and eyes by Obvious Zebra!! Plus a few small extras! ;)
