What a fabulous weekend popping up in our beautiful old truck ✹

Sadly we couldn’t join for their pre loved sale due to not being enough space for the old girl to fit in and leave room for much needed customers, and that’s what is so very important to all small local businesses. I hope you went along anyway and found yourself some fabulous secondhand bits and enjoyed a pint or two at the bar . The pre loved sales there are such fun, and have the best community feel and vibe ✹

Anyway we went on Saturday and parked up on the lawn Retorrickmill and ended up staying through till Monday morning…and still we didn’t want to leave! This place has my heart. The vibe hasn’t changed in years, it’s still the most charmingly laid back, friendly venue nestled in the valley a stones throw from Mawgan Porth beach. It is one of Cornwalls true hidden gems and you can get lost in time there. The food is to die for… Buccas in their beautiful open kitchen serving the best wood fired pizzas and extended menu ✹

The live music was fabulous kicking off in the afternoon then as the sun went down over the sea, the fire got lit and the DJ took over until the early hours of the morning. I have not danced so much in ages or enjoyed such a wonderful evening around wonderful people. Wilf and dawn and the whole crew are absolute legends ✹

All of that plus trading in our lovely mobile stall. We have been overwhelmed with people’s response to our little truck of joy. It is so lovely to have a shop space again and actually communicate face to face, I have missed that. Thankyou so so very much for all that came and purchased and supported us this weekend, we love and appreciate you all so much ✹

This Thursday we will be popping up LULA and we can’t wait for another day in a fabulous location with some new faces, spreading the joy of handmade, vintage and salvaged ✹

The BIGGEST apology to all my lovely instagram people out there for not bringing you content of new stock last night ✹

I am so so sorry but I just couldn’t do it all. So many friends I hadn’t seen in a long time and people to talk to, I was just being human and loving seeing
everyone ✹

I didn’t even get many photos or coverage and much as I love to bring it all to you I realise that just being in the now and being present is so important. I don’t have a PA that can just cover these things, it’s just me and I have to realise that I just can’t do it all. Anyway that said, you all are also so very important to me and I will try and get some photos up today on stories for you to see of new stock and what’s available before our next pop up this Friday ✹

A massive thank you to all who came and showed support last night it was so so lovely to see you all. I forgot how lovely it is to have a shop again, to chat, to share stories, to play dress up, to enjoy and reap the benefits of all the hard work that’s put in….I get to see it in person and I love every minute of it THANKYOU 🤍

Big thank you and shout out to our host PROJECT EIGHTY THREE you guys are the best with such a lovely space you are fabulous people. And a special thank you to our lovely friend Tommy Tommy Armstrong for banging out fabulous acoustic tunes to entertain us all and make last night a really wonderful evening ✹
