Love & Lilacs first photo shoot

British weather is so contrary. Yesterday it felt cold enough for snow and today was deliciously spring like. With less than a month until my first craft market stall in St Albans I need to get cracking on some photos for my business cards to hand out on the day. I was having an, ahem, 'working from home day' so I took advantage of the lovely weather and ventured down to the summerhouse for a bit of a photo shoot.









I bought this lovely old crate in a Berkhamsted junk shop a few weeks back. I think it will look great for displaying cushions on my market stall.









I also created an indoor 'studio' with white flip chart paper to shoot my soaps. I was quite pleased with how they turned out. What do you think?








Any Etsysellers out there? I've just started up an Etsy shop (loveandlilac) http://www.etsy.com/shop/loveandlilac?ref=pr_shop and would love to hear of your experiences of selling this way.

Right. Fun over. Back to the day job...

  2. Thanks Sylvia. Starting selling is a bit of an adventure. I like to make colourful, cheery things! There's snow up in the north today but thankfully not down here in the south of England. Roll on spring! Louise x
