Cards Buy One Get One Free

Hi everyone, I'm back from the USA and I had an absolutely brilliant time.  Upon landing I had to start work on another essay boo! That has been submitted now so the creative juices are flowing again. 


 I have spent the morning finishing off a huge selection of cards for my stockists and the website.  To celebrate I am running a special offer all weekend.  If you purchase one card from the website I will place another in the package absolutely free! 

Happy Weekend xx

NYC Wishlist 1 - Pamela Barsky

Whilst I am in New York i am going to take the time to visit the Artist and Fleas section of Chelsea Market.  I went there last time I visited and I absolutely loved it the whole place was fab I managed to pick up some beautiful jewellery and accessories last time and I can't wait to go back.  

Last time I was there I picked up a pouch from the super talented Pamela Barsky.  Her products are absolutely brilliant, gorgeous little bags adorned with quirky and funny quotes.  The one I bought two years ago has served me well, I have used it to carry makeup and jewellery and even as a purse.  I have a wish list ready for my visit. 







All of Pamela's products are also available from her Etsy shop, click the link to see how amazing they are.

Website Update

Hi everyone hope you are all well.  Things have been non stop for the last few weeks with the denim lovers project with Selfridges, organising workshops, having a good stock clear out, getting ready for Uni in September, my best friends hen do and a week in the sun in Greece .... phew I think I need another holiday to get over it all!

I have just started reorganising my stock and the massive process of updating the website has begun.  I have just restocked my one off hand made cards.  The 'Something Old, Something New' range combines a mix of vintage materials and stitching to offer an alternative to the usual high street designs.





Over the next few days I am going to be photographing jewellery and hair accessories.  My website is www.lauralovesboutique.com if anyone of you would like to pop over and take a look your feedback is always useful and welcome.

Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair Summer Special

Wow what a busy weekend! Yesterday I traded at the fantastic Sutton Vintage and Arts Summer Special.  It was a brilliant day, I had the chance to meet lots of new customers and some of my Facebook followers and it was also a great chance for me to showcase some of my new stock.  I also managed to sneak away from my stall to check out some of the other traders and I will be blogging about them later on in the week.  I have added some picture of my stall.  

Lots and lots of new badges
Tonnes of new vintage stock, updates on ASOS soon
Arm Candy
Flower Headbands and Brooches
One of my bestsellers this weekend were my new customised t-shirts.  They were very popular and I will be making lots more this week and I will hopefully have them on my ASOS Marketplace in the next week or two.  In the meantime you can contact me through Facebook if you would like to order.   So far I have worked on three designs; hearts, bows and a peace sign.

Laura Loves Festival Jewellery


Although the weather is rubbish at the moment we are preparing for Spring/Summer with our new range of festival bracelets.  I have designed a new range of Ribbon Bracelets which I have just added to my website.  Each bracelet has been handmade and I am limiting each design to between two and 10 bracelets.  Each bracelet will be delivered in its own recycled handmade pouch.  
I have added a few pictures of some of my favourite designs, they are priced between £5 and £8.  
Gemma £5

Sophia £6
Isla £8
Heidi £5

I have had lots of feedback on the bracelets, I have been wearing them over the last few weeks to try and get into the summer mood.  I will be designing many more festival and summer perfect jewellery over the next few weeks.  I have also just booked to trade at the fantastic Strawberry Fields festival in the summer.  I traded at it last year and it was a wonderful weekend.  I will be uploading a blog about the event closer to the time. 


Are you going to any festivals this year? I would love to hear about some of the trips you have planned this summer.
