The Diamond Jubilee Festival
Posted on: May 8, 2012I'm blaming the Queen of England for my lack of Thrift-ola activities for the past 6 months. It's true. Last year I signed up for Queen and country to work as part of the curation team for the official Diamond Jubilee Festival which is now only 3 weeks and 4 days away. Here's what I've been plotting...

Some of you will know I started working for Hemingway Design about this time last year and mostly I edit the Vintage Festival blog, run the Vintage Correspondent programme, organise the Vintage area at London Fashion Weekend and snap for the Instagram feed. Well, back in November my duties took another exciting turn when Wayne invited me to project manage their involvement in the Diamond Jubilee Festival which over time also developed into me curating all the fashion and beauty content for the Festival.

Make Me An Offer Monday!
Posted on: December 5, 2011It's that time again when you can haggle over prices in my online store! If you've had your eye on an item but want to scoop it up for a cheaper price then send me an e-mail and make an offer for it... Continue reading »
How it works………
1. E-mail leona@thrift-ola.com with the product name & the price you’d like to pay.
2. If I accept the offer, I’ll e-mail you back and change the price of the product to what you’d like to pay for the rest of the day – although you’ll have to quickly snap it up before someone else does.
3. If I don’t accept your offer, I’ll send you a counter offer and the haggle begins.
Make Me An Offer Monday starts NOW until midnight tonight. Go shop!

Thrift-ola Yard Sale - This Saturday! Vittoria Wharf, 10 Stour Road, London E3 2NT
I run Thrift-ola from a small warehouse unit in Hackney Wick and have been thrifting a-go-go for the past few months to fill my online shoppe with all kinds of super fun second hand finds ready for Christmas! Not everything makes it onto the website though, reasons for this include items that don’t photograph very well, maybe they’re too large/heavy/awkward to post or I feel someone should really see it in person before buying. I’m also generally behind with uploading stock as I have just started freelancing for Vintage again and am co-ordinating & curating some really exciting events for 2012. Continue reading »
