Exahusted,,, but happy!

THE TOPSHOP CHARITY SALE!

Well.... the day came and went in the blink of an eye! I can't believe how time went so quickly today! My Dad generously drove us up to Hanover Square this morning with the car packed to the brim full of clothes to sell!!! We got there early- around 8:45 so we were waiting around for the Topshop people to finish setting up the stalls. It wasn't at all what I expected- I thought it was going to be like some car boot sale or something in the open air, but it wasn't- it was all self contained and undercover, so even if there was rain (which there was!) we would all be protected.

Radha waiting to set up the stall with all the bags and bags and suitcases of clothes!!!!

I don't think I realised how many things people had donated until I started taking them all out and stuck price tags on them all! I wanted to take a picture of the stall after we had done it up etc, but due to the amount of things we had, we were pricing throughout the whole day, so we didn't actually have out perfectly laid out stall that we wanted! Also, as we had soooooooooooo many items, topshop were generous and let us spread ourselves over 2 stalls!

We sold most of the items I featured on the blog and one of my highlights of the day was when this funky guy bought this faux fur jacket from us it looked good on him, so I asked if I could take his pic:



Another highlight was when a pretty girl bought one of our dresses and said she was going to a wedding and that the dress would be ideal. I gave her a 'wings' card that I made for the stall and told her to take a picture of herself and to e-mail me and her picture would be on my blog. She looked at the website address and told me that she'd heard of me! That's so great!!! Whoever you are... please continue to visit the site and don't forget to e-mail me a pic!

After the hectic day we found out how much we raised- overall, the whole event raised over £6000 but out stall raised the most out of all the stalls- with a massive £736!!! My Thanks to the organisers- Topshop, the people who donated the clothes and of course those who showed up and bought something!!!

If you bought something from the sale- it doesn't even have to be from my stall, send me a pic (my e-mail is on the top left hand side) and you can feature on my blog!!! My stall was number 13 so if you see a 13 on your price tag- don't forget, you can feature on my blog!!!
