Sevenoaks Exclusive Shopping Party and Accessory Swap!

What a great turn out for Sevenoaks Exclusive Shopping Party and Accessories Swap! It was so exciting seeing everyone shopping and swapping. There was some really amazing stuff up for grabs including beautiful swag bags filled with lots of goodies and coupons along with amazing sales on in-stores. I met one lucky swapper who traded in a belt for a gorgeous ring. The jewellery swapping was the most popular, with a very close second on the purses.

 

Happy Swapping

Spring is officially here and what better time than to dig into your closet and do some refreshing! With Sevenoaks Exclusive Shopping Event & Accessories Swap just around the corner it’s time to say goodbye to those loved accessories that you’ve just never had an abundance of use for and trade them in for new-to-you accessories. The event takes place at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre on Saturday May 4, 6:30-9pm. It is going to be so much fun!

Last Minute Valentine's Gift Ideas

Written by Kathleen Ong

Create A Vase

Concentrate the buttons in the middle of the vase― when it’s filled with flowers, the upper edge won’t be visible.

YOU’LL NEED:

Tin can
Sandpaper
Spray paint
Buttons
Hot-glue gun
1. Sand down the rim of the can until it’s smooth, with no jagged edges.

2. Paint the can and allow to dry

3. Gently rough up the surface with sandpaper to help the glue adhere.
