first photos!

At last I have some good news for you!
Photos! Lots of photos!

So here are a few of the selections on offer:

So as you can see we have been quite busy!

Heaps of love to our gorgeous model Maya for helping out xxxxx
[Without you the clothes would have had to be photographed in a heap on the floor!]






Now I just have to organise a market stall to sell these things..

[edit: silly me moved the photobucket links so i had to do the whole thing again!]

the future

Hello again!

Today I have two things to say, both of them are future-related.

Number one is kind of not very good in that photography of the first installment of maymarket goodness has been somewhat stalled, but have no fear! We will come through with the goods ASAP.. (in the near future)

To give you some idea of the current selection; there are plenty of pretty patterned dresses, some darker 90's items, a totally cute manual typewriter, some ladylike blouses and plenty more.

To tide you over I have another musical distraction for you, this time in the form of little kiddies singing sweeeet music. As everybody knows children are our future so, if these guys are any indication, the future is going to be pretty rockin' I think..

They have the thumbs up of many music big-wigs such as Beyonce and Lady Gaga (whose songs they have covered) and are basically amazing in a way that only little kiddies can be.

Without further ado, I give you PS22 singing "Pictures of You" by The Cure



They have also covered Phoenix's "Lisztomania" in an equally lovely and charming manner, but pretty much everything loses out to my intense love of the Cure. Sorry guys!

Sweet Tunes

Hey there lovely peeps,

Just popping in to let you know that I went on another vintage-hunt yesterday and managed to bag quite a few goodies. Just got to wait a couple of days until I can get one of my pretty friends to model them for you...

On a slightly related note, while I was in the car driving from place to place I was listening to fbi radio and heard this sweet song that I thought you might enjoy..



The song is "Girls FM" by Happy Birthday [one of those impossible-to-google bands]. I think this song perfectly mixes that cutesy indie-pop sound with something a bit more grungy that makes it a bit more interesting. Plus i've been loving the hell out of my classic 1990's indie-pop tunes [e.g. Tullycraft, Heavenly] so I thought this fits in quite nicely.

Anyway, that's all for the moment, stay tuned for some photos hopefully by next week!

hello there

Hello,

This is Elly and I am starting up a little business called MayMarket.
I am a student of Design in Visual Communications, which basically means that I get to sit around making pretty things all the time and pass it off as university work, and I am generally interested in craft, fashion, music, baking, and all kinds of design.

So what exactly is a MayMarket?

Throughout my teenage years I have become obsessed with vintage shopping, to the point where I have started buying far more things than I can conceivably keep in my wardrobe or house. I thought a good solution would be to earn a little bit of money by selling a couple of things that I have found on the lovely Etsy.

So I will be using this blog to keep you informed not only when new things go up for sale but also some of the things I have been making recently or just any things I come across that I think are pretty or interesting!

One day I will also be adding some of my design work to the shop, including stationery and accessories, but that will take a bit of time what with my uni work and everything.

Anyway, I hope that is enough info for you all and I hope you can find something you like around here somewhere

xx Elly
