I was experimenting with photos for an advert going in a little mag to celebrate the Gillingham train station being 100 years old. I thought a vintage style ad would look good. In the end I used my previous pic with the old patterns behind (posted in a previous post). Tony did a fantastic job and the advert looks great. The above pictures do show a little bit of how the shop is changing though, really taking 'make do and mend on board! :)
What i am excited about though is not boring adverts, but this amazing box of buttons one of my lovely customers brought in for me...
How lucky am I, of course I gave her a great big hug.
My evening is going to be spent sorting buttons, great fun and very exciting..well to me any way:)
