Brydferth~Giveaway

Photobucket
Hello friends! Time for another giveaway from the beautiful shop Brydferth!



Please tell us a little about yourself and your shop.
I am a farm girl, a fashionista, a soon to be bride, a lover of life and nature. I find my inspiration on a daily basis from the farm, people, the mountains, the seasons. Life is beautiful and that is why I chose to name my shop Brydferth. Brydferth is the Welsh word for Beautiful. I am half Welsh and so I decided to bring a bit of the old world roots into my life by choosing a Welsh word.
 
What inspires you?
I have a constant burning desire to make things. I have a little studio in my home where I try to make most of my creations happen but the kitchen table tends to be a popular place as well for these creative moments.
I share my antique 1860's home with my soon to be husband Darren and our toy poodle, Honey. Our home is smoke free and I tell the dog she can't smoke either. ;)

Any advice for friends who are wanting to start their own shop?
Find something you love, know where your inspiration comes from... be creative.  Take great pictures and just work hard.  

You have the chance to win this
Romatic Rosette Headband

These are gorgeous and super romantic. You mentioned that you will be getting married soon. I am wondering if that served as your inspiration for these pieces.

Gracefully Vintage said...

You are absalutely right- i just opened my own little shop only 360 square feet- but full of what i love- all of my home made items- my re-upholstered pieces, and my re-finished vintage furniture-and my section of pinks- (love pinks) my section of black and white i love as well- Your inspiring words mean a lot and are so true. I have this phrase i read once-
Make what you love , what yo do- i look at it daily and it makes me smile- i look forward to waking up to make-create-design or chat with others about inspiring things- it is above the door to my little shop-so everyone who comes can see it.
Love the Blog

Ciao Federica,
adesso ho capito come si posta un commento!Ti riporto quello che ti avevo già inviato via mail!

Bellissimo questo cerchietto, la scelta dei colori, il tessuto! Non ti conosco di persona,ma avendo letto la tua breve descrizione qui di fianco, devo dire che questo cerchietto rispecchia completamente questo romanticismo di cui parli. Indossarla sarebbe come sentirsi innamorata dell'universo, ogni giorno!

Complimenti per il blog e per il tuo gusto in generale, j'aime bien!

Continua così!Ciao ciao,

Francesca
