As it is Burns Night we were going to have veggie haggis , neeps and tatties for tea but when I went to turn the light on in the kitchen the blasted striplight blew. I didn't fancy cooking by candle light so instead we traipsed off to the pub to have our din-dins. I've really started enjoying going to pubs again. In London you'd get very little change back on a tenner for two pints but at our local watering hole a pint of ale is a mere one pound fifty. Complete and utter pie-eyedness is well achievable for less than a twenty spot. I think Rabbie Burns would have approved.

Last Thursday Mark and I spent three hours at the storage unit picking out an array of fabulous garments that will be gracing our rail at the Little Birds Market on Sunday the 9th of February.
I also designed a new logo for Frocktasia and ordered some new business cards from Vistaprint.
We are both getting very excited about our launch into the Glasgow vintage market scene. I'll definitely do a "sneaky-peek post" as per usual but it won't be until a few days before the market.
I've also started selling on Asos Marketplace. So far I've only added a few items and it's all stuff that I already had photos and descriptions for. As a wardrobe shop you are allowed to add up to a hundred items for free and Asos only take a 5% commission on sold items. I was just getting a bit fed up with eBay and fancied trying something different, we'll see how it goes.
It's been a busy and productive week. I'm feeling very upbeat and excited about the future. Life is good!
On our way back home from the pub we stopped off at Aldi's to stock up on some more drinkies. At a bargain £1.35 a pop...I don't mind if I do, thank you very much!
Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend.
Loads of love,
Jennie

Hi Jennie, I really like the new logo - very smart! Superb outfit too, the coat is amazing. Hope you had a lovely night out.
Eddie Reader sang here (in Dunedin) a few years ago and she was amazing!
Great outfit, the coat looks lovely and warm! £1.50 a pint sounds like a complete bargain - we definitely get fleeced in 'the South'. Good luck with the fair, I'm sure you'll do well. Like you, I'm totally fed up with eBay, I will check out ASOS as I still have loads of stuff to sell.
That nails it, I'm moving to Scotland.
You're looking great, Jennie, love the coat and the tartan shorts, and a night out at the pub to celebrate Burns Night sounds good to me, especially at those prices!
Good luck with ASOS and the fair, the logo is fab, and you really sound as though you are happy and busy and finding your feet in your new home. Good for you! xxx
Great look. I've never heard of plaid shorts before. Or veggie-haggis. Thanks for opening my mind a bit.
you're photos remind of of that old song that goes ".....down in the tube station at midnight" For the life of me I can remember who did it.
Wow, really beer! Lots of people around here think drinking Bud Lite is drinking beer. As far as I'm concerned, if I can see through it, it's not beer.
Love the new logo and good luck at the market
So glad you found a great Scottish outfit and had a fun night out. Hope you sorted your strip light in the end! LOVING the new hair do. xx
