This is the first post on my remodelled 'lifestyle' blog - I'll still be writing about illustration but now that I'm no longer a student I wanted this to be a much more personal space for me to blog. It's pretty terrifying that I'm not a student any more and I have to try and find a real job (eek!) but I have to stay inspired and motivated.

The previous Sunday Laura and I went to Vintage Village in Stockport's Victorian market hall. It's such a good quality fair, home to great vintage and craft traders and as always we had a blast! Vintage Village is on the second Sunday of every month and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. This Saturday (23rd) is National Market day so there's going to be a little bit from all the different markets that are offered at the hall, including Vintage Village and The Handmade Market, which I've taken part in before and actually have a table at again this Sunday! So make sure to pop down this weekend for the fun of the fairs.

If you know me, you'll know I love my dog and I've become obsessed with everything to do with dogs, so I went on a little mission at VV to find the best dog themed items.
