On this auspicious day, one year ago, Rose & Rina opened it 'virtual' doors to Etsy customers the world over. Some things have changed a lot since then - the teacup candles and vintage cake stands did a roaring trade and the shop sold out of them before the year was through. This was a great chance to focus on another of my passions - accessories, thus came the African printed fabric shopper bags and more recently clutch purses lined on the interior/exteriors with specially sourced wax printed fabrics.
During the year I've also been able to sell at several vintage and craft fairs around London - looking back this has been an amazing experience. Setting uo a stall organising displays and interacting with other designer makers and sellers has been a great experience and though often hit and miss, and very stressful - I'm so glad I did them.
Now I'm looking to the future and will keep learning and evolving and creating new items that I'm passionate about. Roll on Rose & Rina year 2!
