So the big British Summer is here and it’s time to celebrate our great nation! With the Jubilee and the Olympics taking place, all eyes are set to be on the UK - so lets show them how it’s done!
I was very proud to have my first article published in the May edition of the UK's no.1 vintage monthly, VINTAGE LIFE MAGAZINE. The article gives advice to small vintage businesses about branding and how to get your business noticed. I’d love this business advice section to become a regular feature, so please let them know if you enjoyed reading it! Remember to visit our website for more of the best vintage businesses, competitions and vintage fair reviews. You can also follow us on Twitter (@vintagedirectry) and find us on Facebook too.
Love from,
