First Mini Collection!


Hi,

This is a little sneak preview of my new collection. The basic principle it is based on is.... well me! Its what I and I think other women my age and style would like to wear. Its a capsule collection on the basis that all the pieces interchange with each other. It is heavily based on the trends of AW10 as I want it to be bought and worn. This is as close as my designs get to high street hehe! The use of hand knitted bows, belts and ties bring the texture. The pattern is leopard print galore! With a few creams and blacks to ensure the collection is wearable. The aim is to have the collection on Etsy available for you to buy for Nov 10. Watch this space! I will only be making one of each initially. However pre-orders are welcome in any size, fabric and colours can also be changed to individual tastes. Please double click the picture to see it is more detail. For quotes or any further info please contact me via facebook, my blog or email hollycrow3@yahoo.co.uk

Thank you for your interest, comments welcome.

Save The Date!!!


This is a little sneak preview of a save the date design I have completed for a wedding. The design image above is currently just a scan so i'm not 100% pleased with the image but the actual handcrafted invite (complete with real wooden peg) is excellent and I am really pleased with it and I have to say so are my clients! Invites of any kind are something which I can do to your requirements, so please contact me either via my blog or to my email hollycrow3@yahoo.co.uk for any further info or quotes. Thank you - all comments welcome! x

Day 1..... starting a fresh!

Hi,


My name is Holly Nancarrow and this is the blog of my new business adventure! I hope to use the blog as a diary of my ups, downs and most probably endless learning curves. 


A little bit of history about me. I'm 26 and a 1st class honours graduate in Fashion Design. Ive worked in the industry for about 3 years and have recently decided to take a break to try and get together my own crafts business.


I am passionate about all things handmade and all things design. I make everything from cushions to dresses, from purses to hand knitted scarves! I am also passionate about discovering other craft designers and making as many industry contacts as possible.


This is my blog about starting from scratch... the aim? An online store and the dream? A shop of my own to sell my and other like minded peoples creations.


I hope you enjoy following my no doubt bonkers beginnings into the world of self employment!! x
