So Tuesday was our 1st Birthday!

We decided to celebrate in Style and were lucky enough to attend the Shop Me Pretty Market out in West Melton. What an awesome event and fantastic turnout! it was so well supported by the community.. If you haven't had the privilege of  attending one of these they, are markets held in the evening once a month, a gold coin entry fee gives you a glass of bubbles/juice and you get to shop in style. Make sure you sign up to their Facebook page to keep up with when and where the next ones are!

Meet the Vintage Girls



 Welcome to our Blog a long time coming but finally here!

We  thought it was about time we were properly introduced so here goes ...

I'm just a girl named Jess, married to a very tall lad named Matt, living in a little town called Christchurch. A youth worker by trade and a crafter by night, I’m enamoured by all things vintage.

An avid baker and amateur chef, I do my best to keep hubby well stuffed with sweet treats and savoury delights year round. On an ideal weekend you could find me rummaging through the racks at the local opp shops, hunting for that elusive floral bargain, or organising a vintage themed shindig for friends and family.

I love to spend my spare time creating and crafting. Aroha Vintage lets me share the joys of craft with like-minded people who just can’t stop sewing, stamping and gluing the world into a more beautiful place.

 

Im Alexis (lex) mother of  four (two boys 12 & 10 and two girls 7 & 2) and a wife of one for 13 years now.

 We have two International students that live with us and as well as Aroha Vintage I look after a 8month old baby 12 hours a week. So life for me and my house is never dull..which is how I like it! (most of the time)

 I love to cook. I hate to clean, fold washing (the mount everest in washing is sitting next to me as i type!) and doing the school run. I love church which is especially helpful when you are married to a Pastor..I stay up late, I get up early,..I think I'm funnier than I really am :)

.. I love my family, friends, coffee, scrabble and cake Actually food in general..In my spare time..ha ha I love to make and create (when I am not wasting my time pinning things on Pintrest to make & create). I love this thing Vintage and I love being able to work from home doing something that I am passionate about. I am blessed to be able to work with two of my good friends. I am excited about what is in store for our cool wee business and I look forward to getting to know as many of you as Possible!
