On the 29th September we will be holding our first ever event in Nottingham - a modern flea market!

There will be over 20 different stalls selling a mixture of vintage curios, handmade homewares, artists prints, upcycled gifts and more. We are bringing together a range of designers, makers, collectors, traders, hoarders and artists to create a vibrant, exciting event in the heart of the city.

It seems like a long time ago now since I first turned to my husband and - inspired by the magnificent Brooklyn Flea in NYC - said "I think I'd like to organise a flea market". Months later and we rapidly heading towards the 29th - only a few weeks away - and making all the last minute preparations from price tagging all our stock to getting huge posters printed to creating decorations for the venue, communicating with the sellers, organising transport, talking to press and blogs and finding volunteers to help out on the day...

If you live in/around Nottingham, have an hour or more to spare and would like to be involved with the general running of the event, please email me on - I'd love to hear from you.

I can't wait for my first experience of taking Pretty Dandy offline and into the real world. It's going to be a blast to meet customers, show them some of the new products we've sourced for A/W12, see what excites them and which products are the most popular. If you're coming along please do come and introduce yourself, I'm really looking forward to meeting you!

Anyway, just thought I'd fill you in on why Pretty Dandy Land is pretty hectic right now! If you want to know more about it all please visit prettydandy.co.uk/events.

Thanks!

Becky
