Photos from the BUNTweetup Yorkshire.

Back in September 6, I went to the first BUNTweetup in Yorkshire and had a bundle of fun.

However I didn't take any pictures!!

Well Bride Up North came through and here are some photos from her site.

Here is the lovely Julia getting things ready!

Can you spot me in the photo below?

This was the lovely centrepiece in the middle of the room.

Yep that is me wearing my purple kanzashi, it is becoming the kanzashi that I wear for special occasions. 

Some attendees who were having fun at the booth.

The yummy sweetie table which I was very good and didn't eat anything.  I don't need help to be unhealthy because it is programmed into my genes.

For more photographs of the evening then you can visit Brides Up North website here.

Brides Up North Tweetup at Mansion in Leeds

I had a wonderful night yesterday attending the first Brides Up North Tweetup in Yorkshire and it was a fab turnout.

Normally I would find these sort of gathering daunting because I'm a shy person in social situation.  However I felt at complete ease and picked up a load of business cards!  I think in total I picked up 19 business cards out of 80 which isn't bad.

The venue was the mansion at Roundhay park it was picturesque!  The leaves were only just turning a different colour and the light was warm.  And the mansion itself lovely as well I wish I took photos of the place but I was anxious to get started with the networking.The tweetup was in one room but it was fabulously decorated I will have get the pictures off brides up north website.

Of course I had to wear a kimono because I wasn't going to the kdj September meetup.  Therefore I wore my favourite polka dot kimono with the added lace and my homemade obi.  There was another good reason in wearing a kimono and that was to stand out in the crowd and by god did I!  

I'm sorry for the dishevel look but I have been on a 1hr and 20min train journey and I was very tired.

I got talking to a couple of dressmakers who loved my kimono which provided the ice breaker to discuss our business.

I think I made a good impression and a lot of the people liked my kanzashi so this gives me hope that what I am doing is worthwhile.  I hope the people I met today will recommend me to their brides!
It was a shame that I didn't stay over in Leeds because I didn't get a chance to meet everyone.  But hopefully I will be able to connect with them twitter in the coming months.

Well done to Julia for organising this wonderful event and I hope in future we will work together.
