</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's been a long while since I've posted on here so I thought it was about time that I updated everyone on what's going on with my boutique and share the exciting news of my second shop opening and website! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiujaD1kFO2qbc7UPIJqCnlVM3k7VWz8cYgDnIJdCXTc7murJlfyeWesYretaug5krVatSFzGBMSjv1YgLB0ttOBw9_CTjU_3yJ_XpSqOGkXqGK8g-gtkJyotCTFlelUyMNjZLH6XvuDV8/s1600/Shop+2+WM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="277" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiujaD1kFO2qbc7UPIJqCnlVM3k7VWz8cYgDnIJdCXTc7murJlfyeWesYretaug5krVatSFzGBMSjv1YgLB0ttOBw9_CTjU_3yJ_XpSqOGkXqGK8g-gtkJyotCTFlelUyMNjZLH6XvuDV8/s400/Shop+2+WM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Firstly, Boutique 73 on Church street has had a total clothing revamp from when it first opened. My main focus for this shop is to continue sourcing beautiful one-off seconds and gorgeous chintzy home items, however I now stock new clothing items, such as Holister cardigans and lovely floral dresses. One of our best selling clothing items are our vinatge, customised Levi shorts (£15) which come in a huge variety of washes, colours, cuts and lengths. We always have plenty of these in stock in tons of sizes! Our seconds are also just as popular as ever - especially during our post-summer sale which has flown off the rails! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6abOwUdQjZ5Z_jxqL7C-pB19dcznlaogR34MXAmZAGmKS0is1RkT7qofNppAKQlkd3z6-aHHgclZBE6JX0KhKG4YUstfYgodSj3PpDqEUgJGWgn3ZyKMcTKxq3UPLtz-d6xMB_mfLOTY/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="381" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6abOwUdQjZ5Z_jxqL7C-pB19dcznlaogR34MXAmZAGmKS0is1RkT7qofNppAKQlkd3z6-aHHgclZBE6JX0KhKG4YUstfYgodSj3PpDqEUgJGWgn3ZyKMcTKxq3UPLtz-d6xMB_mfLOTY/s400/4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Another focus of mine has been the vintage home items. We always have plenty of gorgeous furniture pieces and home accessories in stock. I find that the home items are really popular as loads of my customers are really into the shabby chic style. Currently we have some gorgeous garden chairs, old school desk, display cabinet, suitcases, garden equipment, crockery, mirrors, pictures and loads more bits and bobs in the shop! I've also started stocking more accessories such as beautiful flower belts, a vast selection of bags, cute scrabble and button rings, shoes and other chintzy trinkets. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwSPTZ5bG3K00wgzyq7ChHve0ZLJgrdicFTbZnUlqwBr8eNDLb81QzBXHMmlWzzfQllFE0xOcAONBjM9a8rt-fkpcg7ilX_UhnbyjnEbGFPGynUzibN_L2GcCgR9V5emIt4eRuGKAJ3gc/s1600/17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwSPTZ5bG3K00wgzyq7ChHve0ZLJgrdicFTbZnUlqwBr8eNDLb81QzBXHMmlWzzfQllFE0xOcAONBjM9a8rt-fkpcg7ilX_UhnbyjnEbGFPGynUzibN_L2GcCgR9V5emIt4eRuGKAJ3gc/s400/17.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now...onto the website! I have launched my Boutique 73 clothing website and can't wait to keep adding more gorgeous pieces onto it. We sell lovely dresses and girly outfits along with party-ready jumpsuits and hareems. We also sell some exclusive London Boutique jewellery such as Victorian inspired cameo necklaces and glass Alice in Wonderland pendants. Postage is free for orders over £50 and we ship internationally so nobody misses out! We also accept PayPal. Products are updated daily so there are constantly new items! Our website is - www.boutique73.co.uk </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Straight after my last post we had some horrible news in the family - and again the following week. So it simply didn't seem right to be blogging. Then more recently I have been "snowed" under with preperation for the fair (I will talk about that more in a minute!) and the shop!!<br />
<br />
It has been super chilly this last week or so - with lots of snow & frost. My shop luckily hasn't been affected to much (touch wood) and luckily it seems customers are still venturing out in the cold weather! Its nice in a way as really does feel "Christmassy" now! I finally got round to decorating our living room and tree today. Can't wait to snuggle up at Christmas and have a couple of days of just eating, drinking, films, snuggles, fires & dog walks!<br />

So now we are all ready for santa!!<br />
<br />
Right, heres the info on our fantastic Christmas Vintage & Handmade Fair & Tea Party! I have decided to organise this as I feel there really isn't enough going on for Vintage & Shabby Chic lovers in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas. So wallahh! Now we have it! Its being held on the 11th December at the Madcap Theatre, Creed Street, Wolverton, Milton Keynes, Mk12 5LY. 10am-3pm. Please so pop by and show your support. Obviously if this goes really well we will be holding them more frequently. There are over 40 fantastic stalls with a huge variety of goodies, collectables, accessories, clothing, homeware, food etc. Also Facepainting for the children and a Tea Room with homemade Mince Pies.<br />
<br />
Boutique 73 will have a stall there as well as many many other stalls.<br />
<br />
Right - I had better get on with some more organising - but thought I would quickly mention all that! Will start writing again once the fair has been as will have more time.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you at the fair, Laura x x xBoutique 73http://www.blogger.com/profile/14377684615007183913noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2895420733289246384.post-11405719172913495362010-09-27T14:46:00.000-07:002010-09-27T14:46:11.729-07:00Drizzly Monday x x<div style="text-align: center;">Today was wet and drizzly outside - but from inside you wouldn't have noticed.

As per usual it has flown by & it was jam packed. I had a lovely weekend this weekend and purchased some fantastic goodies for our house. I love finding new homes for our new arrivals and cant wait to get in and unpack them! On Saturaday I was invited to Northampton Bicyle Vintage Fair with Carol. I met Carol through her daughter Chelsey - who did the odd Carboots at Milton Keynes the Bowl last year. I hadn't even heard about the Bicycle Vintage Fair and was so excited when she mentioned it - its held at the old Fish Market. As I still havent got round to learning to drive I caught the train - taking my book for company! - and met Carol there. It was sooooooooo lovely - only £5 a stall - and there was lots of unusual items being sold. I picked up a few items as in the photos below - plus a couple of gorgeous pressies for a friend who is expecting - but can't put the photos on here as don't want to ruin the suprise! These are the items I bought for our house:</div><div align="center"><br />

Carol then took me to this lovely little cafe near by for lunch which was delicious. Then we had cold noses so we went back to Carols and sat in front of her open fire until my lift home arrived!! Also bought some fantastic items for the shop!<br />
<br />
After arriving home and putting my new items into their new places round the house I spent the evening at home with Adam snuggling up in front of our fire with our pooches after tucking into French Stick and Camembert - delicious!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today was another busy but lovely day. <br />
Up early at 5am to search for new stock for the shop & for my house. Was so cold this morning and not as busy as normal but still found some fantastic items. Stock for the shop will be put out today and tomorrow.<br />
<br />
For my house I bought:<br />

I went home after opening the shop and sorting the stock out for our lovely Sunday girl to start putting out. Had a delicious relaxing bath and caught up with some household chores. Popped out to pick up some ingredients for dinner, had a few refreshing beverages from The New Queen Victoria on the way back & shut the shop at 4pm.<br />
Adam prepared his famous Chicken, Brie & Mushroom Pie whilst I got the fires started!<br />

I have been meaning to set this up for quite some time now & due to having 4 lovely girlies working in the shop for me now I seem to have the odd half hour to spare. After spending this evening looking at some GORGEOUS blogspots on here I felt inspired and thought it was time to create my own. So please bear with me as I get to grips with all of this and hope to share with you some of my favourite things in life.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I would like to explain a little bit about me & my life for any of you who doesn't know me. My name is Laura and I own Boutique 73 shop in Wolverton, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. I am 26 at the time of writing this and opened Boutique 73 a year ago. I sell mainly new & used Ladies Clothing - also: Mens & Childrens, and vintage household items. I have had a fantastic response to the shop and LOVE my job. </div><br />
