It's also a great opportunity for new bloggers to give their blog exposure! On the flip side it is also a fabulous way to discover amazing new blogs to follow. It's a great source of inspiration when you can look through all the amazing finished vintage creations. Who doesn't love a vintage frock. Am I right?!
