Clothes Show Live

So as you know from my last post, I exhibited my work at Clothes Show Live 2011. I found out that I had been chosen to show the week before the event so I barely had time to think let alone blog which is why I didn't post about it till the actual day (and is also why you should follow me on twitter, *nudge nudge wink wink*) but I thought I'd share some pictures of my stand so you can see what it was like.
